perfect example of what i wanted to see posted
gonna have to rewatch this now

The thing. Threads over

>>83264264

It was absolutely amazing until the 3rd act. That huge tonal shift out of nowhere, it just straight up turned into a horror movie for about 20 minutes for no damn reason.

Easy now.

Its actually great. One od ny favorite movies of all time.

>>83264336
Sunshine was attempting to realistically depict many different aspects of space travel and the inclusion of someone losing their sanity is an interesting one, but it was so jarring compared to the rest, it pretty much ruined it. They should have taken inspiration of The Shining instead Event Horizon.

>>83261573
He's right, you should watch more sci-fi if you think that's event horizon is good sci-fi

>>83261612
>prove me wrong
Better production values, better acting, better script, better sets, better sound, better cinematography.... I can keep going.

You've been proved wrong.
He's right

>>83267332

It had the potential to be a good movie but they ruined it.

>>83267451
negro, obviously mashing up sci-fi/horror is not something that is going to contend with a bladerunner or a children of men or something

>>83264336
100% correct. The 3rd act pretty much shit over what could have been pure sci-fi kino

I think this was actually kino and thus shouldn't be in this thread.

>>83267565
>What's cosmic horror? Who's Arthur C Clarke?
So it's true, people who like Even Horizon don't have a clue about sci-fi,,,

Btw, Alien contends with Blade Runner and Children of men good enough.

Let's just not talk about everything that came after Alien.

>>83267646
so you reference an author to try and use as something of note when saying there is superior scifi/horror films out there?
I mean if I could use authors as a reference point I could come up with something better than event horizon too

>>83267720
An author that has various well known adaptations of his work, I didn't reference him randomly.

Hell, even Stephen King has better adaptations than EH that are better sci-fi than EH, even without being explicitly cataloged within the genre.

>>83268129
what you're failing to realize is how if they are better sci-fi, there is almost surely an inverse correlation with the quality of how they fit into the horror label and i can almost assure you EH trumps them there and in the counter scenario

>>83268158

This thread is about sub-par scifi.

What, you think those movies are the pinnacle of good scifi?

The only thing that wasn't completely and totally garbage that POS Anderson ever attached his name to was Pandorum (terrible title, tho)

>>83266796
>Gattaca
is kino

>>83269195

Well, let's see. Gravity has 96% positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.

You don't think that qualifies as falling just short of kino?

If you hate it so much why do you keep fucking talking about it.

It's like being mad at your ex that you're still totally in love with but she won't give you the time of day.

Highlander
Does House of 1000 Corpses pass for sci-fi because of the mad scientist scene?

>>83273813
Highlander is god-tier kino.

>>83273752
I've always like how real it all felt, everyone just gets sick and dies, apparently originally it was supposed to focus more on Steven in the second half but they changed it, uncivilized degenerates use forks gets a little old after awhile

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I'd like to nominate Dune for 'almost kino'.

It is flawed, I will admit, but it is quite brilliant in many places. Especially any scene with the Harkonnens.

I mean look at this. It's almost like a play.

>>83264343

>>83274417
I haven't seen it in a while. I need to give it another watch. Is there any special edit of the movie I should consider watching or is the theatrical release just fine?

>>83274544

Oh look. Another "everybody is retarded and doesn't know anything about quarantines" or even cost/benefit analysis movie.

Completely laughable boss fight scene. Holy shit, the movie went from a solid 8 to a 6 just because of it.
