Funny you should say that. Event Horizon kind of pissed me off because, to me, it was a few older movie plots sewed together. While I was watching, I was just naming the films, or TV episodes, that they were grabbing. And it came off very hodge podge to me.
You know, if I hadn't seen all these other films/TV that Event was borrowing from, I think I would have enjoyed it more. If these were new ideas to me, I would have been more satisfied.
I don't mind past ideas sewed together if the result is excellent. I didn't think Event was excellent.
I thought it had a big budget, looked really good, good sets, special effects, famous actors, interesting premise. That's about it. The bad was plot resolution and logic, character development, script, not a lot for the actors to work with. I didn't really care about the characters, and I eventually cared about as much for the discovery and resolution of the plot as much as the film did... which was none. This event horizon being the entry to Hell isn't really the resolution... I mean it's the "discovery", but what does it mean to the characters?... the thus the director, writer and audience?
I think a seemingly ambitious sci-fi like this should have a point. I thought it was only film work for profit. Can't a film just be about fun and mildly entertaining? Sure it can, and I can really enjoy those films. Event was mildly entertaining, if it wasn't also so disappointing, failing at it's implied goal.
