Event Horizon 1997

Story: 7/10...so much potential! Space travel. Relativity and black holes. Hell and other dimensions. But about 2/3 of the way through any sense of developing these themes is abandoned.
Dialogue: 5/10...script isn't laughable, but is filled with tropes and predictable conversations.
Performances: 5/10...nobody is incredibly believable in their role, but neither is anyone abysmal. Fishburne's performance gets better as the movie trucks along, but Neill just becomes silly. Everyone else is flat as can be.
Misc.: 4/10...bad CGI, lazy sets, boring camerawork and editing, and awful soundtrack. But there are a couple good scares I guess.
Overall: 5/10...rides the line between good/good and bad/good so ends up being pretty forgettable.
