Amazon.com:
Drawing from Andrei Tarkovsky's heady science fiction meditation Solaris by way of Alien and Hellraiser, this visually splendid but pulpy piece of science fiction schlock concerns a mission in the year 2047 to investigate the experimental American spaceship Event Horizon, which disappeared seven years previously and suddenly, out of nowhere, reappeared in the orbit of Neptune. Laurence Fishburne stars as mission commander Captain Miller and Sam Neill is Dr. Weir, the scientist who designed the mystery ship. Miller's T-shirt- and army-green-clad crew of smart-talking pros finds a ship dead and deserted, but further investigations turn up blood, corpses, dismembered body parts, and a decidedly unearthly presence. It turns out that the ship is really a space-age haunted house where spooky (and obviously impossible) visions lure each of the crew members into situations they should know better than to enter. The ship is gorgeously designed, borrowing from the dark, organic look of Alien and adding the menacing touch of teeth sprouting from bulwark doors and clawlike spikes inexplicably shooting out of the engine room floor. Unfortunately the film is not nearly as inventive as the production design--it turns into a woefully inconsistent psychic monster movie that sacrifices mood for tepid shocks--but the special effects are topnotch, and ultimately the movie has a trashy B movie charm about it. --Sean Axmaker

Hey Gang,
Here is an update on the Event Horizon Special Edition DVD. It is in a 2.35 aspect ratio. It includes at 5.1 Dolby Digital track as well as a DTS 6.0 track(Yeah!!!) The second disc includes outtakes, an storyboard version with director's commentary of an alternate beginning & ending. The outtakes are very interesting as well as Paul's commentary on what the film should have been. Hope this helps..
Rating:  - Metaphysica nonsense
What is the point of wasting all that money in good special effects if the story really sucks?
People in Hollywood have no imagination whatsoever anymore. If a movie has no guts and blood spread all over the screen it is not considered a movie!
What is the point? There are thousands of good scifi stories that are begging for a movie adaptation and all they come up with is this pseudo-metaphysical nonsense. It is unbelievable how "anti-sifci" this piece of garbage is.

Rating:  - One of the Best Sci-Fi Horror Movies
This is a great horror film. Despite the occasional scene of bad acting, it still doesn't manage to break the overall dark and menacing atmosphere of the movie. While still featuring some scenes with gore in it for those that enjoy that stuff, it doesn't rely heavily on gore and "jumpy" scenes to get its scares. It ends on a unsettling note, leaving you with a lot of questions about "what if".
Rating:  - Pretentious
This is the most generic, stereotypical, and predictable sci-fi film I've ever seen. The story merely pretends to be smart and interesting, but anyone who truly believes that is only fooling themselves, the story is in fact very dull, and could have been made up by an elementary school student with ease. It could have been significantly better if they provided some kind of explanation, or let you see this other evil dimension, or better yet, build some decent suspense. I could seriously tell what ...

Rating: - Blood chilling... The most frightening film ever made.
Fear chills the most when you are not expecting it. When you put this film in the DVD player for the first time, you believe you are going to watch a science fiction movie that might have a bit of suspense involved. That is not the case.
Very shortly, the plot begins to subtly darken, and at first, you are invited along slowly, wondering where things are going as you begin to feel things might go wrong. As the events pick up, right when you decide to remember it is just a movie, the ... Read More
