11:57 - Weir wasn't on the maiden voyage of the Event Horizon. The reason he's crazy is because he's based his entire existence around this ship and got absolutely nothing in return for it. The world thinks it blew up on its maiden voyage, making it "one of the worst disasters in space history" which ruined his career. And his obsession over his work directly led to his wife's suicide, which he blames himself for. He has nothing left... until the ship returns and hints that he can be with Claire again "forever".

I was scrolling down to see if anyone would argue against the absurd assumption that Weir was in the disastrous maiden voyage, and was like, "heyyy I recognize this name"! From Aesthetic Perfection. Nice. As for Weir, while I agree with you, I wonder if there was supposed to be some connection between the fact Claire committed suicide (considered an unforgivable sin) and Weir's possible hidden motives - maybe believing his wife was in Hell he designed the ship to try and reach her there? Maybe the maiden voyage was actually - unbeknownst to the crew - a test, and that's why he wasn't there? Perhaps also a reason for the ship design itself, as a place where a religious ritual should happen or something. I'm sorry if I'm saying something dumb -I watched the movie for the very first time just a few days ago and I'm still digesting it, so to speak!

My understanding is that the creators of Event Horizon were huge 40K fans; the script was intended as a part of the WH40K timeline but they failed to secure the rights from Games Workshop. The ship looks like a cathedral because that's how Imperial ships look, lots of religious imagery in 40k. Also in 40k FTL travel requires a ship passing through the "Warp" aka "realm of Chaos" which is basically Hell. If the shields fail, the ship could be attacked by demons, who live in the warp. The Latin, The roman numerals, the Gothic architecture, all of it because 40k.

It would also have to be R rated, so yeah, it most likely won't happen unless someone picks it up as a passion project. It would be really expensive to make, with a very limited target audience which is further limited by the R rating. Basically, it's almost guaranteed to lose money which means it won't happen.

I always interpreted Sam Neil's character as having put his whole life into the warp drive, to the point where is wife felt so alone she ended up killing herself.

Not gonna lie, this was probably the first horror movie I watched that actually grabbed my attention and kept me interested. Oh, and as for Sam Neal’s character (Dr. Weir), he was never on the ship when it transited through the “hellverse”, but he was the chief designer and the black hole drive was essentially his brainchild.

yeah he was Heywood Floyd from 2010. He designed all the stuff in 2001 but didn't actually get onto that ship. Arthur C Clarke thought Floyd deserved better so made him the protagonist of the sequel (which was shit).

I'm with Jay. I actually like this more now than I did when I first watched it.

"Say the line, Jay!" "This is borderline experimental . . ." "YAY!"

My read on Sam Neil's character is that he was never able to get past his wife's suicide, and, just like everyone else, the ship preyed on his trauma. The difference though is that he embraced it and let it twist him into a monster. I don't think the implication was that he was originally on the ship. "I am home" is not literal.

Jay said the same nonsense about Exorcist 2 and the demon "Pazuzu". It never occured to him on either occasion that the films were trying to convey that "hell" and "the devil" are actually just imperfect and cultural-specific interpretations of a greater evil that is far older than Christianity. Reducing the place that the Event Horizon visits to simply "hell" is a misunderstanding. "Hell" is just the imperfect concept that emerged when humans caught a glimpse of where the ship goes. Jay always gets this sort of thing the wrong way around, trying to force his own cultural perspective on to something broader.

Well... Solaris (the book, anyway - none of the films quite lived up to it) is a pretty deep reflection on the impossibility of communication and true understanding between vastly different forms of intelligence (there's no "playing with people's fears" - Solaris actually tries to satisfy people's _desires,_ it just doesn't understand humans, it's like zoologists playing animal noises back to them), while this is basically a flying medieval dungeon with buckets of blood and things that go boom. Edit: Also, while Lem did write a lot of (deliberately) very silly sci-fi, Solaris was one of his more "serious" books (he did know his physics and orbital mechanics), and nearly all the actual "space stuff" in Event Horizon is just nonsense.

He's a touch mad at the start of the movie because of the suicide of his wife while he was a workaholic, amplified by the knowledge that all his hard work led to something strange happened to the ship and its crew. Doubly whammy of survivor's guilt... but I do have to say that it is an intriguing idea if he was secretly a survivor of the maiden voyage and was sent back unconsciously to lure more victims... but somehow I suspect that would be one ball of cheese too many.

Loved this move when we saw it in the theatres

Sam Neill's character designed the Event Horizon. He was never onboard the ship when it went on it's maiden voyage. Sam Neill's character is very similar to Jack Torrance in The Shining, except that his wife committed suicide - so he felt guilty for her death. The captain of the Event Horizon knew Latin. He said "Ave, atque, vale" (Hail and farewell) before they engaged the warp engine - hence, why he said "Liberatis tutemet" (Save yourself) during the blood orgy scene in the final video log.

“Liberatis tutemet” would mean something like “you yourself save,” it’s “libera te tutemet” bc u need the imperative

Sam Neill's character designed the ship. That's why he says he's already home. Not because he was already on it when it went through the wormhole.

Yeah. He literally says 'I built it' Then one of em says 'I can see why they sent YOU' He wanted the ship, his life's work, back. Especially given what it cost him. And the ship exploited the trauma of his wife's suicide (and that he pretty much caused it, indirectly) and used that to GET him. So by thr end, the ship has possessed him but it kinda backdoored in so he's more with it than Justin. All of this is pretty obvious if you just, y'know, WATCH THE MOVIE. They're funny as hell, but sometimes I wonder if these guys intentionally gloss over shit like this expressly for comedic purposes.

Just understood that this movie rips the plot from Tarkovsky's Solaris, with all that fear and wife stuff. Huh

Tarkovsky's Solaris (not Soderbergh's remake) is a much scarier film, as the contrast between the benign spaceship design filled with hallucinations works.

When I watched this as a teenager, I had never seen anything like it. I loved it. Over the top, and pretty novel at the time. At least it's not Jason in space.

Worth mentioning that the Captain of the Event Horizon speaks Latin when the ship is being launched, so they set up he spoke Latin. Unfortunately we can't fire anyone for that blunder.

if you're just looking at the design in isolation, you can be like "Hey, Gothic madhouse aesthetic -nice!". but if you question for a second why the ship actually looks the way it does... it's not outrageous, it's just stupid. and not fun stupid.

Event Horizon is just a blast.

I'm unfairly partial to this film because it came out when I was a teenager in high school and the fact that I got to watch an R-rated horror movie was really exciting to me. It also scared me because it was my first time seeing intense gore like this and a "realistic" depiction of hell.

The captain of the Event Horizon spoke Latin at the beginning of the film, before the portal opened. There you go.

I mean i have to agree with the replies here, Event Horizon OBVIOUSLY took itself very seriously in its writing and shooting. Unfortunately it suffers pretty heavily from the "Big Production Studio" effect, where it looks like each scene was decided upon by commitee, so they often feel like totally different genres and have stark differences in quality and attention. Side cast was given too much time and were boring, main cast weren't developed enough to get invested in. Dr Weir was the closest to being a rounded character then gets suddenly and awkwardly shuffled out of the cast mid-movie. Shit like this which looks like it was some kind of fight between the director, actors, writers and cinamatographers all trying to compromise on what they thought would be good to include in their limited time. Which is why everyone pretty much universally agrees this woulda been a better TV show, because CLEARLY there were too many cooks in the kitchen for a 2 hour runtime, and it just ended with the audience getting 2 potato chips, one bite of pie, the bottom half of a cake, one leaf of lettuce and 5 peas, instead of a whole meal. It also explains why some people loved it and some people hated it with very little in between. If you're the kind of person who likes to fill in the blanks with your imagination in your media, this was probably a fun movie. If you're the kind of person who actually wants to get invested in your characters and plot, this movie was probably an awful shitshow. I think a TV show would have solved this, since all the characters would have got their time, the scenes would make more sense, and it would be much less rushed, plus you'd be more invested in the actual drama because you'd have more time to think about whats going on, instead of just having suspend your disbelief and going along with the nonsense rollercoaster. It wouldn't have been AMAZING, I think a lot of the characters needed a fundamental rework, and it needed a few more interesting elements, but I think as like, maybe a 10-episode Netflix style show, it would probably have been very very good.

"It's not that it's gross, it's just a striking visual." - obvious killer of cats 😆

He's not speaking Latin because he's possessed. They show the captain, before the event, speaking Latin to the camera made by the crew. The old captain knows Latin.
