Yes its a fantastic film, better than spartacus, chinatown and the swarm. Wonderful, brilliant, great.
Wait, was this that pile of shite with kiefer sutherland as a nasty roman? Hand on heart I couldnt mischieviously tell my worst enemy to watch this tosh.
Its just Titantic but with molten lava.

Yeah, it's crap
If you watch it in Norway though, it comes pretty close to a terrific film..
Now that is funny.

I'm a HUGE fan of Paul W.S. Anderson in general, one of the foremost action auteurs of our time. I like pretty much everything he's done, except for two films (THE THREE MUSKETEERS and MORTAL KOMBAT). And EVENT HORIZON is one of the best films of the 90s, and a personal alltime favourite. Interestingly, I didn't know he had directed this when I went into the press screening back in 2014, I was totally taken aback by the quality of it -- which I didn't expect at all -- but then I saw his name in the credits, it all made sense. Great stuff!
The film got an honourable mention from me in 2014, right after the top 20 (of about 140 new films seen).
As for the score, I think this is Clinton Shorter's best work that I've heard. I like his work on THE 100, but I love the melodic Zimmer vibes he's going for here. Yes, certainly GLADIATOR-influenced, but among the good ones.

In fairness that does depend on the opinion.
If you wanna make fanciful claims with a tongue nowhere near your cheek, you gotta expect a bit of playful flak/pisstake/ridicule - whatever gets slung.

Oh yeah, no one tosses a "masterpiece" out like Thor.
I never said it was a masterpiece. Just a straight-up, excellent movie. All films that are within my top 30-40 every year are good movies.
It's good to know that one can express an opinion here without being ridiculed for it.
uh, yeah, what Bill said, lighten up Thor, just admit your standards for what is a "good movie" are rather broad and generous, which is your right, but yes, you are going to be teased a bit about it after all. There are not too many people that will call this an "excellent" movie, you just have to be realistic enough to see that.
