I’ve been watching DVDs all day, I’ve been to the past, present and future. Just finished Event Horizon in its introductory sequence explain that in the year 2015, the first permanent colony established on moon. And in the 2032, we started mining commercially on Mars. The film begins in the year 2047, a crew is sent on a search and rescue mission to the ship named Event Horizon.
The main event begins
Same sci-fi fans cannot stomach this movie as it definitely has a strong horror presence in it, they say it’s ‘icky and ‘gross’ which is accurate. If you remember the scene in Silence of the Lambs where Dr Lector leaves a beautiful human installation for the police to find, well, there is a similar but less grandiose scene in this movie. And yes, this movie is quite high on the ‘gross’ meter.
No, it's not the Matrix, those are very sophisticated space-age panels designed by Dr William Weir
The story goes like this. The Event Horizon possesses a core that enables the ship to fold time and space creating a TK in to another dimension. It’s been there, done that and has come back with something very evil. The crew lead by Captain Miller (Fishburne) is being held captive by the ship as they struggle to find a way out of its grasp. The good doctor and inventor of the ship played by Sam Neill, is stricken by the God complex, or in this case, Devil is wants to pilot Horizon in to the depths of space hell. The plot may seem ridiculous, actually it is. But the sheer about of possibilities in the movie alone is enough to make me wonder about shit. The ending looks spectacular along with a few other beautiful and haunting shots of the ship. Those who scream easily be prepared, there are certain scenes in this movie that are truly gruesome, truly. Now fasten your seat belts and come aboard.
The heart of the beast
