Nothing's "wrong" with Event Horizon. It's just ideologically charged. If there is a non-existentialist bone in your body, then Event Horizon can be a croquet mallet to the kidneys. Lots of people like Nekromantik 2 for example, but I think it contradicts the first one's sense of affirmation too much, and Event Horizon's the same way. It's a cold , vicious environment and it has a cold, vicious message attached to it. It gets right in there and targets one's sense of existential fairness. Everybody's floating in raw, angry space. If you can dig the effects and ignore the fact that it is made to feel claustrophobic and it is made to be an assault on the senses, then you can have a good time . If you're a Nekromantik 2 fan, you can have a good time. But for the film to be enjoyable, there's a certain amount of tune-out and tune-in required at the same time and that's a challenge for a lot of people. And it's a little longwinded. Like my deconstruction thereof.
