Black Horizon (2001) Reviews

I can usually suffer thru any movie given enough beer. Well, not so with this movie. I turned it off half way thru and returned it to the store. Everything about this movie sucked. Just whose idea was it to put an elevator in space? Oh, and let's make sure the doors are too narrow for a space suit. Oh, and forget all the "emergency" supplies too since they're just too expensive. Oh, did you know there's gravity in space? I actually started laughing at one point because it sucked soooooo bad!

Like Carlo L., I too thought I had received the wrong movie while watching the opening scene. I watched it twice to see what relevancy it had with the story. The only thing it shared was the head Fed was the head hancho of the space mission. Story-wise the opening scene had nothing to do with the movie. Aside from that the set for the space station was as low budget as low can get. Then of course there was the unexplained built-in gravity. Basically avoid this film at all costs. Don't even waste your email coupons for an in-store rental.

Horrible movie. Acting stunk even though there were some notable actors in the movie. The filming was horrible also. In one scene the actors were in a certain vehicle and when the angle changed it was a totally different vehicle. Same was true with the fighter planes.

When the movie started, I thought I was watching the wrong movie. There was a whole gun fight sequence at the beginning where Ice T's character was introduced with his partner. I thought Ice T's was the main character, but he didn't turn out to be it. The character might be more like Michael Dudikoff's. The movie was just screaming for a script overhaul and the director was not really creative with his shots. All shots were close up TV-like sequences. I was tempted not to finish the movie because it felt wrong. The movie lacked realism. I thought it was going to be a comedy flick, but the movie turned out to be just a low budget movie that's trying hard to be big. It tries to cram Top Gun, Lethal Weapon, and Apollo 13 in one flick. The movie is bad because it lacked vision. I blame the director!
