The
synopsis follows. Event Horizon (1997) is a science fiction thriller movie, out of
the future. In the future, space travel
is achieved. Furthermore, there are
important benchmarks. In the year
2015: the first permanent colony is
established on the moon. In the year
2032: commercial mining begins on the
Planet Mars. In the year 2040: a deep space research vessel named Event
Horizon is launched. Unfortunately,
around the Planet Neptune, the Event Horizon disappears. The disappearance is considered to be, a
disaster. The present time, is the year
2047. The Event Horizon has
re-appeared. Additionally, the Event
Horizon is stuck in orbit, around the Planet Neptune. The space ship doesn’t have the artificial
gravity turned on. Unexpectedly, a
bloodied and lacerated Dr. William Weir screams in terror. The real Dr. Weir wakes up; and he looks at
pictures of his wife, Claire.
Surprisingly, Dr. Weir is onboard the space station “Daylight Station.” The Daylight Station orbits, the Planet
Earth. Dr. Weir is asked to report to
the “Lewis & Clark” at the 4th docking bay. The U.S.A.C. Vessel, Lewis & Clark leaves
the Daylight Station, on a mission. The
Lewis & Clark is a search and rescue space ship. The mission is top secret. The ship’s crew, prepares to leave for the
Planet Neptune. The crew rants and raves
about the mission. Captain Miller
re-focuses the crew’s attention, and, he initiates Ion
Drive. The
crew leaves the ship’s bridge, and, Ion Drive
will start in 10 minutes. Dr. Weir
attempts to talk to Captain Miller.
However, everyone is preparing to leave for the gravity tanks. At the gravity tanks, everyone prepares to
enter a gravity couch. Med. Tech. Peters
helps Dr. Weir. D.J., the trauma
surgeon, finishes preparing Dr. Weir for the gravity couch. Officially, the Lewis & Clark is 56 days,
into the mission. Surprisingly, Dr. Weir
is the first person to wake up. He exits
the gravity couch and looks around. He
also hears voices. Dr. Weir looks around
and asks, if anyone is there.
Unexpectedly and in the ship’s bridge, Dr. Weir finds a naked
Claire. Claire says that, she feels
cold. A second Claire grabs Dr. Weir’s
shoulder. The second Claire says, I’m
waiting. She also doesn’t have
eyes. Out of nowhere, Dr. Weir is inside
the gravity couch. He screams in terror
and attempts to get out. Dr. Weir exits
the gravity couch. Peters is there, and,
she helps Dr. Weir. At this point, the
crew has been in Stasis for 56 days. The
Lewis & Clark successfully arrives at the orbit, of the Planet
Neptune. Furthermore, they are able to find
and board, the Event Horizon. Dr. Weir
reveals himself to be, the builder of the Event Horizon. Furthermore, he reveals that the Event
Horizon can travel faster than the speed of light. This is done by creating an artificial black
hole. Unfortunately, the artificial
black hole also releases the “dark.” The
dark causes dementia in people. While
onboard the Event Horizon, the crew of the Lewis & Clark releases the dark. Director, Paul W.S. Anderson, does a good
job. This world of space travel does
come to life. Additionally, the story is
presented in a coherent manner.
Unfortunately, some things fall short.
On the positive side, Laurence Fishburne as Captain Miller was an
excellent decision. Furthermore, Sam
Neill as Dr. William Weir was another excellent decision. All of the actors, go with their respective
character. The writer does an equally
good job. The story is presented in a
coherent way. Additionally, the secret
fears of each character, are successfully communicated. The psychological thriller part of this
movie, is easily understood.
Regrettably, several things fall short.
There is also, a lot of empty space.
The officially recognized stars do a good job performing their
roles. Overall, this movie earns the
rating of 5 out of 10.

summer. Smith arrives, and, he makes an
announcement. They will be arriving in
the orbit of the Planet Neptune, in 2 hours and 23 minutes. Everything appears to be going well, and, on
schedule. Captain Miller sits everyone
down, for a brief meeting. He introduces
the crew to Dr. William Weir. First is
Starck, the lieutenant. Second is Mr.
Justin, from engineering. Third is
Cooper, the rescue technician. Fourth is
Peters, the medical technician. Fifth is
Mr. Smith, the pilot. Sixth is D.J., the
trauma surgeon. Cooper asks Captain
Miller, what’s the nature of the mission?
Captain Miller asks Dr. Weir, to tell the crew. Apparently, previous missions to the Planet
Neptune have been disastrous. Dr.
William Weir reveals that, a radio transmission was received. The origin is from the “Event Horizon,”
around the Planet Neptune. Surprisingly,
the crew stands up in an outrage.
Captain Miller calms down the crew.
Dr. Weir continues talking about the Event Horizon. To the public, the Event Horizon is a deep space
research vessel. Additionally, it blew
up in space. In reality, the Event
Horizon is a secret government project.
The effort was to create a spacecraft that is capable, of faster than
light flight. Smith and Lt. Starck
interrupt to argue, the Law of Relativity.
Dr. Weir says that, the Law of Relativity can be broken. Dr. Weir attempts to explain. A rotating magnetic field can focus a narrow
beam of gravitons. These gravitons, in
turn, fold space and time. Captain
Miller asks for a more simple explanation.
Dr. Weir attempts to explain. He
folds Point A and Point B together, on a piece of paper. The gateway, on the Event Horizon, folds
space and time. Therefore, Point A and
Point B co-exist, in the same space and time.
The phenomenon is called Gravity Drive. Dr. William Weir reveals that, he is the
builder. Furthermore, he also reveals
that, the first mission was going well.
Unexpectedly, the Event Horizon simply disappeared; until now. The mission is also to find out, where the
Event Horizon, has been for the last 7 years.
Dr. Weir plays an audio tape, which was part of the radio
transmission. The filtered audio tape,
reveals a man speaking in Latin. D.J.
attempts to do a translation. D.J. says
that the audio says, save me. Captain Miller
orders the crew, to their work stations.
The Lewis & Clark arrives, at the Planet Neptune. Captain Miller commands the ship. They find the Event Horizon’s location. There is also a storm. Smith pilots the ship. The Lewis & Clark shakes, due to the
storm. Lt. Starck attempts radio
communication. Reverse thrusters are
turned on, and, the Event Horizon is found.
They find the airlock. They also
use the arm, and, hold on to the Event Horizon.
Lt. Starck initiates a signal read, for signs of life. The Event Horizon, is in a state of deep
cold. Lt. Starck reveals that, the Event
Horizon shows traces of life. However, a
specific location cannot be found.
Captain Miller orders a search, of the Event Horizon; deck by deck and
floor by floor. He also orders Dr. Weir
to stay, on the Lewis & Clark. Dr.
Weir argues with Captain Miller. Captain
Miller orders Dr. Weir to stay on the ship’s bridge. Captain Miller, Justin and Peters put on
space suits, and, exit the Lewis & Clark.
Lt. Starck stays with Dr. Weir, on the ship’s bridge. Captain Miller, Justin and Peters cross over
to the Event Horizon, through the umbilicus.
They open the air lock door and enter.
The Event Horizon is in a deep freeze.
There are also ice crystals. Dr.
Weir gives instructions, through the radio.
Justin is ordered to search, the rear part of the Event Horizon. Peters and Captain Miller, will search the
front parts, of the Event Horizon.
Unexpectedly, Peters and Captain Miller, find explosive devices on the
central corridor. Dr. Weir reveals that,
the central corridor is supposed to be destroyed in an emergency. Furthermore, the space ship splits into two
parts. The forward part, is used as a
life boat. The search inside the Event
Horizon, continues. Unexpectedly,
Captain Miller is scarred by a flying glove.
Justin arrives at a large door.
He enters, and, there is a tunnel of metal that circles a walk
path. Justin walks on the walk
path. He also talks on the radio, to Dr.
Weir. Peters arrives at the ship’s bridge. There are human skulls and flesh, smeared on
the walls. Justin continues to look and
talk on the radio. Peters continues to
look around the ship’s bridge.
Unexpectedly, Peters crashes into a rotten dead body. Dr. Weir, Lt. Starck, Smith and D.J. watch
through Peters’s video camera. Justin
finds the core, of the gravity drive. At
the core, things turn off. Additionally,
Justin’s video camera breaks up. Justin
finds a liquid metal wall. Unexpectedly,
Justin is pulled into the liquid metal wall.
Cooper runs in to help, and, there is a magnetic explosion. The magnetic explosion travels inside the
Event Horizon and onto the Lewis & Clark.
Inside the Lewis & Clark, a fire becomes ignited. An alarm sounds, because, the hull is
damaged. Cooper arrives at the core, of
the gravity drive. Cooper pulls out
Justin. Smith reports the damage of the
Lewis & Clark, to Captain Miller.
Additionally, the Lewis & Clark is out of oxygen. Captain Miller orders everyone to cross over,
to the Event Horizon. In the ship’s
bridge, Peters turns on the artificial gravity.
The artificial gravity becomes activated. Dr. Weir brings back, the Event Horizon, to
life. Lt. Starck reports that, the Event
Horizon doesn’t have communications. She
also reports that, there is oxygen for only 20 hours. Smith reports the hull damage, to Captain
Miller. Smith reports a 7-meter fracture. Smith thinks that the damage can be repaired,
however, it will take time.
Surprisingly, Captain Miller asks Dr. Weir, what happened? Justin is unconscious, from the magnetic
explosion. D.J. and Peters conduct a
medical examination. Cooper reveals that,
he saw the liquid metal wall. Dr. Weir
doesn’t believe Cooper. He also reveals
that, the liquid metal wall is the gateway.
The gateway cannot exist when, the gravity drive is not activated. Captain Miller calms down the group. He also says that, he believes Cooper. He asks Dr. Weir, for an explanation. Dr. Weir says; in my view, Mr. Cooper’s
delusional. Cooper becomes angry at Dr. Weir. Dr. Weir says that, everything is an optical
illusion or effect. Captain Miller asks
for more information. Dr. Weir says
that, the explosion was gravity waves from the core. Unfortunately, he doesn’t believe that, this
is the situation. Captain Miller
continues to demand answers. Dr. Weir
explains the core. The core creates an
artificial black hole. The black hole
bends time and space. Dr. Weir, Captain
Miller and Lt. Starck walk around the core.
Theoretically, they believe Justin traveled, to where the Event Horizon
has been. Captain Miller orders that the
core, should be sealed off. Dr. Weir
doesn’t agree with Captain Miller.
Unexpectedly, something changes in Dr. Weir. Peters looks at video files, of the Event
Horizon’s crew. Unexpectedly, she hears
noises, and, walks around. Out of
nowhere, Peters finds her son. Denny
Peters has a body, which is rotting.
Surprisingly, D.J. arrives and Denny Peters disappears. Smith enters the Event Horizon, and, Cooper
is there to greet him. Peters plays the
video files, for Dr. Weir and Captain Miller.
Peters says that, she will continue to work on the video files. The space ship, Event Horizon, unexpectedly
loses electrical power. Captain Miller
and Dr. Weir go to the core. Dr. Weir
looks around, the inside part of the core.
Justin begins to shake, in an uncontrollable manner. D.J. attempts to help Justin. Out of nowhere, Justin speaks and says that,
the dark is coming. From this point
forward; the series of events, take the viewer, to the end. The dark arrives, the way Justin said. The dark takes Justin’s body, as the
host. Smith activates explosive devices,
inside the Event Horizon. Everything
becomes a complete catastrophe. The dark
continues to live through Dr. Weir, or, Dr. Weir’s body. You have to watch, to know, about the
catastrophe. Furthermore, to know, who
survives the catastrophe. Finally; you
