Haven't figured out the purpose of event horizon, if in the end it wants to take the "crew" to where it came from, then why kill people or even control them to kill each other; if its purpose is to survive, then blow up Clark and Killing is justifiable, but it contradicts the desire to take people to its original world later. And those hallucinations and brain control for survival food, intense emotions? But killing people can't achieve sustainable development... and with its ability/wisdom, it is not difficult to open the gate for teleportation, why not go to other dimensions to find food and focus on the few crew members ? Although I don't understand it, it doesn't prevent me from liking this movie... Old movies + sci-fi elements are really unique and charming, the future led by exploration and curiosity is never finalized, plus the oppression of steel and loneliness, extreme environments and confined spaces The mental pressure on people, although it is given that there is a life inside the ship or the ship itself has become an extraterrestrial life, but it is still difficult to distinguish between the virtual and the real - whether it is a picture generated by controlling the brain/consciousness/vision, or it has changed the cabin and its contents. Objects form objective illusions. I watched the 95min version, I don't know if there is a director's cut version to watch it

    Paul Anderson is really a third-rate director, and even though this is his best film compared to the bad "Resident Evil" series that followed, he still tells the story hastily, superficially, and lacking force. But he is really a superb subculture fan and game fan. If it wasn't for the poor look and feel, I would have given him five stars. The brain hole and the set that he worked so hard to build were not in vain. This is the fan work that most restores "Warhammer 40K" in film history: that kind of dirty, sticky, bloody to the limit in the warp storm. The gothic chaos aesthetics of the dark technology era is also the most suitable aesthetic for Paul Anderson to shoot. To sum up, don't underestimate the obsession of an otaku. May the Holy Light of the Emperor bless you.

    My mother who used tv projection screen for dinner: I can’t sleep at night watching this kind of movie Me: I have watched more disgusting movies than this, and then listed a few clips with broken heads and steel bars in my face (strongly prove that I am not When I was a child) My mother: Yes, yes, when I was a child, I didn’t know who dared to sleep at night, sitting on the sofa and drinking water until 3 o’clock (as expected, she was the woman who mastered my black history the most) Me: Hmm… (powerless to quibble) I Dad: Laugh without saying a word! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Event Horizon quotes

  • Dr. Weir: You can't leave. She won't let you.

  • D.J.: I wasn't going to tell you this. I've been listening to the distress signal, and I, um, think I made a mistake in the translation.

    [Plays the distress signal]

    Miller: Go on.

    D.J.: I thought it said "liberate me" - "save me." But it's not "me." It's "liberate tutemet" - "save yourself." And it gets worse.

    [Plays the distress signal again]

    D.J.: There - I think that says "ex inferis." "Save yourself... from Hell." Look, if what Doctor Weir tells us is true, this ship has been beyond the boundaries of our universe, of known scientific reality. Who knows where it's been, what it's seen... or what it's brought back with it?

    Miller: From Hell? You don't believe in that kind of stuff, do you?

    D.J.: Whoever sent that message, he sure believed in Hell.
