In this sci-fi/horror scarefest, Dr. William Weir (Sam Neill) is a scientist who has designed a spacecraft called Event Horizon which will explore the outer reaches of space past the planet Neptune; the ship employs a special transport mechanism that, in effect, creates a black hole that the ship can pass through, allowing it to travel tremendous distances in a few seconds. The Event Horizon mysteriously disappears in the midst of a mission with no trace of either the ship or its crew, but it

Where's the application form for the job where you get paid to rip off the lamer and more bombastic aspects of Barker, Kubrick and Scott? I'm sorry I missed that notice.
You look at Event Horizon as you would something that fell out of someone's nose.
...a tremendously entertaining, flat-out disturbing horror effort that boasts a number of justifiably indelible sequences...
High-tech ghost story takes a grip until credibility goes into orbit.
Paul Anderson shoots things to look cool, but he has no grasp on how to modulate the visuals to carry the audience into the deepening nightmare of the plot.
Paul W.S. Anderson's outer space horror Event Horizon is an example of a potentially great and complex idea given a simplistic and ultimately ridiculous execution.
...bloody, nonsensical, and largely unmoving, meaning we don't care enough about the characters to worry about what happens to them. (Blu-ray Edition)
It's disheartening to see how quickly this movie degenerates from an intriguing premise into an absurd gore-a-thon.
The perils the actors face would be far more shuddersome were their characters more sharply delineated from the outset.
... incrível como um filme que suga tantos elementos de clássicos como 2001, Alien e Solaris pode ter resultado em uma besteira tão grande. Mas é este o talento de Anderson: dirigir besteiras colossais.
a retarded Goth version of 2001.
While this 2-disc Special Edition might not be the Director's Cut we were all hoping for, there's little denying that Paramount's put together an excellent little release here.
A B-movie with an A-quality production, Event Horizon still haunts me.
Sam Neil shines in this. I think this an extremely underrated movie. Its awesome thriller horror flick
