The Making of Event Horizon – Broken up into five segments, this is a fairly all-inclusive look at the, you guessed it, making of the film.
BLU STUDIO ONE REVIEW MOVIE
It’s a good track that reflects on the movie in hindsight. Anderson and Producer Jeremy Bolt who do their best to give us the ins and outs of the shoot, the production design and the casting process. Audio Commentary – This is the same track that’s been around for years featuring Director Paul W.S.
But there’s no shortage of material, so let’s get started. I never reviewed that disc, so I’m not sure what, if anything, made the cut from that disc to this one. Shout!Factory got their hands on this title a few years ago and produced some new supplements for it. Event Horizon once delivers on the audio front. I compared some of the scenes from the standard DVD to the TrueHD track on this disc (no Dolby Digital 5.1 track is included on this disc, well in English anyway) and there is a definite difference to be heard. Dialogue is clear and clean and at the very least, your subwoofer will get a workout. I remember the coolant that was floating in zero gravity that made a “drop” sound when touched and it was a contrast to the bombs that go off at the end of the movie. There are plenty of explosions to take note of, and everything is space makes some sort of noise. Audio: How does it sound?įile this under “opportunity missed” as we get the same Dolby TrueHD track found on the previously-released Blu-ray. It’s an interesting-looking film for sure, and it’s never looked better. The HDR really does improve the visual aspects of the film, giving us deeper, darker blacks and shadows. Flesh tones look a bit distorted, but then again they weren’t exactly shot in “natural light” so it was expected. As mentioned, the blacks are so dark and deep with no grain or artifacting in the least. The 2.39:1 HEVC 4K image has bumped the detail to razor sharp levels and contrast is amazing. First off, the movie takes place primarily in space so we can expect a lot of blacks and shadows. This 25th Anniversary Edition gives us the film in its first 4K incarnation. There was the obligatory DVD and later on the Blu-ray. I remember first watching this on LaserDisc. At any rate, this film does have an audience, and I think it’s a bit of a cult classic now, but there are far better science-fiction horror films out there. Granted, there are some disturbing scenes, but also those that really didn’t make much sense – reportedly the shot of Sam Neil in the spaceship ate up a majority of the film’s budget and only lasted 45 seconds. The whole “large crew that starts getting picked off one by one” is, for all intents and purposes, Horror Movies 101. Looking back on the film, it didn’t really break any new ground. Event Horizon wasn’t the most critically-acclaimed film out there and financially it didn’t even make back half of it’s $60 million dollar budget. The summer of 1997 was known for films like Air Force One and Men in Black. I remember seeing this in theaters and it’s hard to believe that was a quarter of a century ago. Of course, things don’t go according to plan and, well, you connect the dots. He’s been brought along to determine what happened to the ship as well as the crew inside. William Weir (Sam Neill), the designer of the Event Horizon ship. (Jason Isaacs), Smith (Sean Pertwee) and Justin (Jack Noseworthy). Starck (Joley Richardson), Peters (Kathleen Quinlan), Cooper (Richard T. Miller (Laurence Fishburne), the team consisting of Lt. The film follows the crew of the Lewis and Clark they’re tasked to find down the titular ship (the Event Horizon) which had disappeared seven years prior and finally resurfaced near Neptune. Anderson passed on several other projects to direct this – essentially in the vein of Alien, the grandaddy of all science-fiction horror movies. A little-known film by the name of Titanic, had been pushed back due to delays thereby creating an opening. Paramount had dictated that they wanted a science-fiction horror movie to fill their summer lineup.
BLU STUDIO ONE REVIEW SERIES
Fans might remember Anderson mainly for his work with the Resident Evil series (not all films, but several). Anderson found himself in quite a peculiar situation – he was getting offers left and right to direct movies. With the surprise success of Mortal Kombat, director Paul W.S. Plot: What’s it about?
