Event Horizon

Chris | 2:25 a.m. Sept. 4, 1999

Event Horizon is probably one of the best Sci-fi movies of
the last decade, the plot is more so original then most
movies, visual's were great, script was average, kinda
expected dialogue (after all what's a sci-fi horror without
a few expletives) Chris Hicks your review was complete crap
and all you could say was this movie was a slasher. This
movie is in no-way a slasher, yes it has gore and buckets
of blood but that doesn't automatically make it a slasher.
Event Horizon is great so nutz to you...
Oh yeah saving Private Ryan was crap, american's weren't
the only guys involved in the war and this movie was
certainly made for american's, although the battle
cinematics were excellent.

1/2 star. There were great moments that truly shocked and
horrified me. The feel and mood was effective, but the
premise of the film was silly. The actors deserved to be
in a much better film.

This is without a doubt the best film I have ever seen.
Great storyline and plot, awesome special effects and
genuinly scary. Brilliant.

i found this film really scary why? because of the fear of
having done wrong things in my life and facing the
consequences. when it's too late for redemption and hell
awaits. how to turn back time? or make amends?

Chris Hicks should stay home and watch Merchant Ivory films.
I'm sure he has telephone, which will come in handy when he
decides to give reality a call.
