Event Horizon
1997 -- The EVENT HORIZON that brought the dawning of Y-2-K. What movie better sums up the nihilistic little minds of those millennial rascals, than a film about human technology opening inter-dimensional gateways that ultimately lead to the inevitable doom and destruction of mankind by using our own hidden, suppressed fears against us? Yay, Y2K! #YOLO @riotheatre
When the Event Horizon, a spacecraft that vanished years earlier, suddenly reappears, a team is dispatched to investigate the ship. Accompanied by the Event Horizon's creator, William Weir (Sam Neill), the crew of the Lewis and Clark, led by Capt. Miller (Laurence Fishburne), begins to explore the seemingly abandoned vessel. However, it soon becomes evident that something sinister resides in its corridors, and that the horrors that befell the Event Horizon's previous journey are still present.
"It has been said that no one sees a movie for the sets, yet an exception might be made here for Horizon's visually staggering production design -- truly an event itself." (USA Today)
"But in its own overblown, melodramatic way, complete with hideous and obtrusive music by Michael Kamen, clanging sound effects that will leave your ears ringing and a penchant on the part of director Paul Anderson ( "Mortal Kombat" ) for quick flashes of blood-drenched gore, Event Horizon is kind of a hoot." (San Francisco Examiner)
