Q: this is a good year if you want plenty of sci - fi on your multiplex .
> from the comedies mars attacks and men in black , to luc besson 's powerful the fifth element , and to this
, sci - fi / horror that is event horizon .
( more is on the way with contact and alien : ressurection being released later this year . )
the story is thus : in 2040 an explorer ship called the event horizon tests out a newly invented gravity drive .
a device that enables a craft to travel anywhere in the universe , instantaneously .
this is achieved by creating a gateway , infact , a black hole , between the craft
and it 's required destination .
in this case , from near neptune to proxima prime .
however , when the event horizon attempts this , it dissappears , without trace , leaving two searches for it fruitless .
seven years later , it reappears , transmitting a distress signal and
this is where the film starts .
a search and rescue ship is sent out to investigate .
the team is led by laurence fishburne , and joining them is sam neill who plays the scientist that invented the gravity drive .
as the team search the event horizon , they find no trace of the crew but plenty of blood lying around .
not a good sign .
. .
to make matters worse , as they search the ship , they find themselves being subjected to a series of illusions based on their own individual inner secrets and worse , some very bloody events start to occur as they slowly piece together the events that transpired on the ship seven years ago .
it soon becomes apparent that , wherever the ship went , it bought something back with it .
something very , very evil .
. .
the first thing you 'll notice in this film is
it 's incredible visual effects .
they really are eye popping , with some great models to boot .
the acting is quite good , with some occasional witty moments .
sam neill
does a good job as the scientist that increasingly becomes more and more disturbed as the search continues , but a tip of the hat goes to laurence fishburne who leads the team , in a cool , calm , take no nonense manner .
it is his acting skills that help hold this film together .
the idea behind event horizon is certainly a good one .
it starts off incredibly well , but the middle section becomes quite confused and sometimes muddled , leaving the viewer unsure on just what the reasons are behind some of the bloody and bizarre events that occur .
however , the closing 20 minutes of the film more than make up for this , producing one the most nail biting ( or in my case ,
straw of my drink biting ! )
climaxes i 've recently witnessed .
overall , event horizon is a smart film indeed .
it 's very enjoyable and has some amazing visuals .
but be warned , the horror scenes , despite being very brief
are very , very , gory .
not for the squemish !
