Hey, first there was "Style over Substance", now there is "action as stuffing":
A flavorless filler that inundates you with flashy, violent imagery to gloss over the fact that the characters are 1 dimensional and boring. I try to avoid this as much as possible.

I cant quite put my finger on what i dont like about most of Anderson's movies.... They are all ones that SCREAM "Love me!", but they feel hollow... Somethings missing....

Yeah.....I mean I just think Anderson's movie SUCK. He just doesn't have it. He just seems to screw everything up.
Blah I don't think he shoulda ever been in the biz :mad:

I didn't HATE the movie, but, I didnt LOVE it either. I think my problem with the movie is I didnt really give a damn about anyone in it, and unlike the spaceship in say, Alien or many other films, the fact that the ship seemed so damn UN-utilitarian bothered me. I couldnt imagine anyone engineering such an entirely Gigeresque spaceship design....
The acting was a bit flat in places, but, I always attributed that to the way the dialog was written, and not the performers themselves..... I mean, there are points where you know the actors had to be thinking, "They expect me to SAY this crap?" And as shocking as the revelation of the recording of what happened on the ship was, with its carnage and flashing imagery, the climax paled in comparison. Its almost like the movie blew it's load halfway through and spent the rest of the time playing catch up. But....truth be known....everytime I see the damn thing in the cable listings, I'll give it a watch.....

Event Horizon
Would you consider this more of a Sci Fi Thriller or Horror? This is one of those movies I can watch over and over again and never get sick of it. The gore is awesome!

Soldier Resident Evil AVP

Its both, a Sci/Fi Horror which doesn't seem to get the credit it deserves. I watched this film only a few days ago and i'd forgotten how good it is.
