All right. First, if he didn't suffocate from using his air tank for prepulsion, the odds of him finding the Event Horizon (which they had already established as being VERY DIFFICULT for their even their RADAR) are so minimal that it's unbelievable. You think the explosion sent him straight above the ship or something? Not bloody likely. Even if he knew where the Event Horizon was, the chances of him using a MacGuyvered rocket to rocket back into Neptune's atmosphere and reach it are minimal at best. Not to mention the speed he would gain on his way back down to the planet would splatter him against the hull.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
Where's our MC resident physicist? You think opening a portable air tank in a vacuum would generate enough force to "splatter him against the hull"?
Maybe not, but he's moving toward Neptune, which exerts gravity, which would increase his speed.
This entire argument is making me glad I watched The Prophecy (1995) last night instead of Event Horizon.

Now I WANT to rewatch Event Horizon. I suspect/hope that I'd still be a fan.

Keep in mind I was able to suspend disbelief for the idea that they could "open a black hole" inside the ship without the ship imploding because of FUTURE SCIENCE! If they had put a little effort into the guy set adrift finding the ship again due to FUTURE SCIENCE, I probably wouldn't have had a problem with it.
I also did a little reading on the movie and discovered the original script called for tentacled aliens, giving the movie a Lovecraftian angle. I can't help wonder how much better the film would've been had Anderson not come in and screwed it up by changing it to, THE SHIP WENT TO HELL!!
It's a fine movie for what it is.
Also, I really wish they had given us a scene where they make it apparent that the ship had given Neill's character his superpowers. Just some kind of clue that it was going to happen. It was just plain silly the way it played out.
Agreed there.
Damn it, Duke. Take the bait.
Nope too late. Discussion is resolved. Next argument!
The Man Who Laughs was really cool. Joker inspiration FTW. I watched it on YouTube so the copy was crappy but I didn't care. I'm now two reviews behind although I'm not sure if Man Who Laughs or Prophecy are horror movies. Eh they can count.

Wait, is it too late to say that I agree with Spun, and it's a promising movie that is almost calculating in how precisely it squanders every single opportunity to be something genuinely good?
I think the big issue is that the flick had glimmers of smartness in its outset, but it devolves. Something like a Resident Evil, you know the brain-dead stupidity you're getting into - when Jovovich jump-kicks a dog, you can't say the film isn't satisfying its core interests.
What a goddamn shame that they use wormholes and quantum mechanics to basically prefigure Dark Castle "classic" Ghost Ship - incidentally, another horror picture with the sole highlight of brief, vivid carnage.
Here's my review of The Prophecy if anyone is interested: http://madman731.wordpress.com/2013/...gregory-widen/

Meh, both movies looked extremely generic to me.
You're Next looks great. The Conjuring looks okay.

I saw the Evil Dead remake. Did not enjoy it very much.
This is a signature, I assume.
A fine opinion, wise and true.
It's not.
I really didn't like how bland looking the movie was.
This is a signature, I assume.
When the hell did you get here? Welcome.
