[EX Q]: no , it is not a bad film , in fact
it is so good in achieving its purpose
, i actually wished for the film to end itself quickly .
event horizon is not your run - of - the - mill sci - fi film , i 'm sure many who have watched this will agree with me .
it is not even original in that sense , and it does borrow heavily from films like alien , hellraiser and even blade runner .
the magic of this film lies in its unorthodox setting and methodical build - up that makes it wonderfully horrifying .
the story brings us to the year 2050 , where space travel have since enormously progressed .
the event horizon is actually a ship built for a secret experimental purpose ; it has the ability to fold time and space thus making it possible for travelling distances not reachable in a man 's lifetime .
the ship disappeared as soon as it went into operation but after 7 years , it reappeared again within the orbit of neptune .
a search and rescue team led by miller ( fishburne ) is given the task to check for survivors of the event horizon .
the designer of the ship , dr .
weir ( neill ) follows along to satisfy his curiosity on what actually happened to his otherwise technologically impressive ship .
event horizon is a sci - fi horror film , much truer to the word than say , alien would ever be .
while in alien , the crew has to cope with a ferocious creature while encased within tight spaces , in event horizon , the forces which goes against the crew is undefined but yet so powerful and horrifying .
the story unfolds itself slowly and the suspense buildup is superb , up till the point where i really felt like saying out loud ' enough !
i ca n't stand this anymore ! ' .
there are more than enough jolts to send your adrenalin pumping overtime .
the story in itself is not exactly something very exciting and also , the acting is only at most , average by most commercial standards .
even so , the essence of horror is carried out very well in this film , thanks to its well - paced storytelling , disturbing set designs and some really gory sequences ( which incidentally , has been quite generously removed by our censorship board ) .
director paul anderson ( who did mortal kombat ) and his team of ' atmosphere ' creators have done well in keeping event horizon within the bounds of the term ' horror ' .
this picture did not do very well in the us box - office most probably for the dread - factor impact it has on most audiences ; people will not see it again and not many would recommend their friend to watch this .
although on the face of it , event horizon is mostly molded for mass - entertainment ; many thrills , spills and suspense to keep audiences in focus .
however , the offbeat horror element which it ultimately convey audiences is very disturbing .
my friend and i could not say a word to each other for quite a while after going through the ' experience ' of event horizon .
i guess it was just the immense feeling of dread which the film had cast upon us .
be forewarned , this film is not for the faint - hearted nor for pure entertainment . be prepared to be disturbed if you should decide to watch this film !
event horizon is highly recommended ? ?
but at your own risk !
it has been a long time since good - horror embraced the big screen , and event horizon is one .

[EX Q]: my filmcritic . com colleague norm schrager nailed session 9 , brad anderson 's throwback to spooky horror films from the 70 's .
it worked as an eerie homage without being self - referential or smugly postmodern .
genre aficionados will acknowledge the similarities in tone to stanley kubrick 's the shining and george romero 's dawn of the dead without being taken out of the engrossing narrative ( i .
e . , a psychologically addled waste management team clears out an abandoned lunatic asylum ; unspeakable dread ensues ) .
in a double - whammy for 2001 , anderson shoots and ( mostly ) scores again with his eclectic riff on time - travel episodes from the twilight zone , appropriately titled happy accidents .
much like session 9 , the cards are played very close to the vest here .
is boyish , eccentric " sam deed from dubuque , iowa " a futuristic voyager from the year 2470 or just your run - of - the - mill psychologically disturbed nutcase let loose on the present - day streets of nyc ?
as played by wonderful character actor vincent d'onofrio ( full metal jacket ) , it 's up in the air whether or not we should accept his detailed monologues about life after the polar ice caps have melted .
the question proves to be moot , at least for a time .
even if the whole thing proves to be a creative delusion , one agrees with the character judgment passed down on him by his new girlfriend , ruby ( marisa tomei ) : " he 's a freak , but he sure tells a good story !
"
neurotic ruby thinks she may have found true love after a series of nightmarish dating disasters ( the junkie , the fetishist , the artist , the frenchman , etc . ) , but is n't quite sure how to handle " sam deed " when he starts explaining the barcode on his arm , his elaborately constructed fake identity , his pathological fear of dogs , his ability to speak five different languages , and his mission to change a crucial moment in time that may have ramifications on time 's alternate realities .
( do n't ask . )
it 's all a bit much to take in .
ruby 's close friend gretchen ( cuz ya ca n't have a love story without the token friend , though nadia dajani invests the thankless role with warmth )
chalks it up as a sexy role - playing game , but her cautious therapist ( holland taylor ) warns her that co - dependency is rearing its ugly head again
and she 's in over her head with yet another doomed relationship .
who ya gon na believe ?
despite her winning an academy award , marisa tomei has always struck me as an annoying and unwelcome screen presence , one that undermines the pleasure of watching happy accidents .
her brassy new yawk attitude never really meshes with her desperate desire to appear " cute " to her adoring fans . being loud and flashing a ( disingenuous ) smile does not necessarily equal " substantial and sexy .
"
it takes more than a crack team of hair and wardrobe people to imbue her with personality .
then there 's that damned voice , which strains to be oh - so - adorable .
look , this stuff is purely subjective .
some people feel this way about richard gere , others can not bear to watch robin williams ' hyperactive schtick .
for my money , it 's m .
tomei with a bullet .
happy accidents is a romantic comedy filtered through twelve monkeys ( or , more appropriately , chris marker 's la jetee , especially with those still framed " memory " photographs anderson employs as a stylistic device throughout ) .
modern manhattan is filmed with an otherworldly , vaguely alien eye with a color scheme oddly reminiscent of logan 's run .
as the stranger in a strange land , d'onofrio walks slightly out - of - step , wonderfully affable but often inscrutable with his wayward expressions and bemused detachment .
this is science fiction told mainly via the power of suggestion ( though it often falls into the sci - fi trap of having entirely too much forced exposition -- we want deeds , not words ! )
at least twenty minutes too long , happy accidents eventually gets around to a race - against - time scenario that puts " sam deed " to the ultimate test .
no movie can live in ambiguity forever , but anderson seems terminally unable to provide satisfactory conclusions to his otherwise well structured recent narratives .
( let 's pretend the loathsome and predictable next stop wonderland never happened , shall we ? )
there are also some slow , repetitive stretches as ruby and sam go over the same arguments again and again over whether or not he 's crazy .
the premise is strong enough to sustain interest , but it 's enough to throw a nod in the general direction of rod serling for wrapping up his ideas in half - hour time slots , commercials included .

[EX Q]: disconnect the phone line .
do n't accept the charges .
do anything you can to avoid the wretched , melodramatic sisterhood dramedy ' hanging up ' .
i figured i needed to get in touch with my feminine side , and ' hanging up ' seemed like an ideal opportunity to do so .
the film features an incredible palate of female talent , and the capability behind the camera brought to mind such sparkling gems as ' sleepless in seattle ' and ' unsung heroes ' .
meg ryan , diane keaton and lisa kudrow play a trio of sisters who , once separated by career judgments over family ties , must reunite when their father ( walter matthau ) is admitted into the hospital with alzheimer 's disease .
while this may read like an optimum opportunity to rekindle their relationship and reflect with poignancy on the past , the script by sisters delia and nora ephron
is exasperating , shapeless dreck teeming with emotional fakery .
' hanging up ' has the overall effect of a tele - marketer pestering you for two hours , while you do n't have the option of doing as the title suggests .
for the first half - hour , the ephron sisters use telephone conversations for a basis of character development .
this is an annoying and ineffective device .
cell - phones ring every five minutes , and everyone hurriedly rushes along , leaving marginal time for the frustrated viewer to relate to the sisters ' issues and problems .
if ' hanging up ' was an apple pie , then i felt as if we were getting the mere crust of the story .
granted , there are a few genuine and sincere moments in the film .
but they only help to establish that the remainder of the strained emotions are nothing but inferior dramatic muck .
the most outrageous strategy in ' hanging up ' is that , after a series of largely unrealized attempts at character development , we are expected to exhibit compassion and courtesy toward the sisters as they join for a melodramatic finale .
we are able to identify with eve ( ryan ) , the most open and caring daughter , because she is the one who stayed by her father 's side as everyone else moved forward to pursue a impending career .
georgia ( keaton ) , the eldest daughter , is celebrating the fifth year anniversary of her magazine called . . . .
' georgia ' .
maddy ( kudrow ) , the soap opera actress , spends time either contemplating her possible path to stardom or nursing her dog .
ryan 's convincing performance and diverting cuteness are two of the more agreeable aspects of ' hanging up ' .
kudrow , so delightfully eccentric as the off - kilter airhead phoebe in ' friends ' , is totally wasted .
ditto for keaton , who is serving a double shift as co - star and director - a time slot that can be a difficult priority juggle .
her frenzy is apparent . for a chick flick , there is a distressing lack of chuckles .
the reliable matthau is reduced to chaotic shtick that , given his character 's situation , seems more depressing than amusing .
even so , the peak form of humor in ' hanging up ' is represented by some of matthau 's nasty quips and ryan 's eternal battle to have the aforementioned pooch swallow a pill .
that about accounts for the three or four chuckles you will expel during the film .
my curiosity has suddenly been tweaked to discover how such a promising and star - studded approach could turn so viciously sour .
but really , it 's no mystery .
the predictable , melodramatic filth that is ' hanging up ' is certainly not the fault of these actresses .
pin it on the screenplay , which attempts to clear up vital issues in three or four minutes , while spending the rest of the running time in an annoying flurry of phone conversations .
it 's certainly a far cry from what one would label as a rewarding experience , but ' hanging up ' should have at least been enjoyable .
uh - uh .
it 's a wrong number from the beginning .
