Lawrence Fishburne and Sam Neill head up a strong cast as the reluctant leaders of a rescue mission sent to find out just what in the hell (literally) happened to the crew of a long-vanished experimental spacecraft in this dark and thundering descent of a horror film. Although this extremely stylish haunted spaceship movie may be guilty of ripping off half a dozen better films (including Don't Look Now, Hellraiser, and especially Andrei Tarkovsky's great Solaris), it's difficult to deny the gothic razorblade effectiveness of the end result. Not a "fun" film by any stretch of the imagination, but a thrillingly ruthless shocker that may leave more susceptible viewers in need of a long shower and a high-voltage night-light. For the full effect, watch it with all the lights off and the volume cranked up to 11. --Andrew Wright

 Finally on Blu-ray January 6, 2009
13 Ways And Counting (Omaha, Ne)
If you're looking at the Blu-ray reviews and deciding whether to purchase then you've likely already seen this flick so I will not waste your time with the stuff you already know.
I picked this up locally the day it came out. Now you bought your Blu-ray player for jaw dropping visuals one would assume. This movie will NOT give that to you. That being said, the movie is a lot sharper on Blu-ray, the colors are more distinguished, and you will notice more in the background. The truly impressive visuals are found in the warp drive - spike ball, gyroscope engine drive thing. There is a grainy look to the film as well.
If you've been a fan of this movie by all means purchase it. It's a unique film, a piece of art in my opinion and well worth the money. HD snobs who can't get beyond a PERFECT transfer will trash the movie as you have already read if you've made it this far down the line of reviews :)

Love the movie but no wow effects on the video quality. Id say that the upconversion on the standard dvd would be of same detail that of this blu ray edition.
 Event Horizon...a critical overview January 1, 2009
M. Mclean (92557)
Event Horizon has all the components to make a great film.
stunning cast, amazing special EFX, Directing is.....
well, its good from the start.
and thats where it ends.
you have a good watch until the last part of the movie.that part thats supposed to tie up all the loose ends...
and that is when you want your money back.
it just doesn't have the close.
I will not disclose any spoilers, but the end has a look that seems to be as if, they had a new writer for the last 20-30 minutes of the movie,or maybe a new director,who took over,and didnt have a good idea what went on before.
it would be worth waiting until you can pickup this in the bargain bin.
at 19.99,its not there yet.

To me, this is a great horror. I find it hard to enjoy horror movies today (today is Dec 12, 2008) because all they are are gore fests with half naked women. I love this movie because for one thing it does not derive its "fear-making" from BOO! haha you jumped, but rather it slowly gets you into the movie and begins to play with your mind. It is rather gorey, though there are worse (such as Lord of Illusions). This movie will not disappoint, unlike current horrors today that can only scare grandma's and people with weak stomachs. Buy this and prepare to crap your pants!
