Event Horizon is a dark, gritty, ugly film that builds tension from a ship that’s supposed to feel unsettlingly organic, and this version really reflects that. What I most appreciate about this 4K restoration is that the film grain has been lovingly preserved to keep it from taking on a glossy, overly polished look. This is, without question, the best Event Horizon has ever looked. I can’t necessarily keep up with what masters were used for what Blu-ray releases at this point for Event Horizon, but the reason for that is that at both studios, the film simply looks wonderful, and this new foray into 4K is no different. This review will focus solely on the attributes and quality of Paramount’s new 25th anniversary steelbook for its new 4K release. If you want my thoughts on why Event Horizon is a fine wine of a sci-fi thriller, underappreciated by the masses of the 1990s, but lauded by originality-starved sci-fi/horror fiends of the 21st century, you can see my review of the excellent Shout! Factory Blu-ray here.
L-R: Laurence Fishburne as Miller, Sam Neill as Weir, Kathleen Quinlan as Peters, and Jason Isaacs as D.J. While the sudden change-of-heart and insistence of effort is pleasantly surprising, I have a lot of questions I need answered before I can accept this new reality. The issue? Shout! Factory unfortunately only released the film on a standard 1080p Blu-ray, and while it looked and sounded fantastic, and Shout! Factory’s status as a boutique label doesn’t afford them the capital to make every release of theirs a 4K release just yet, there was still the big “what if?” in my head about the potential.īut then, Event Horizon’s bum-ass daddy (Paramount) swooped back into the picture wanting to suddenly have a relationship with his child on their 25th birthday and insisted that he be the one to give the film a proper 4K release.
After years of radio silence on the end of Paramount and their outdated Event Horizon Blu-ray release, the good folks at Shout! Factory swooped in to capitalize on the film’s cult status and put together a definitive collector’s edition of the film on Blu-ray. Now available from Paramount Pictures Home Entertainment, “Event Horizon” on 4K UHD with a limited edition steelbook.Īs a child of divorce, I totally understand the feeling of being tossed back and forth between parents for weekend trips, holidays, etc., but the situation at Event Horizon is getting a little problematic, and CPS might need to get involved soon.
