Event Horizon

Clever sci-fi thriller that borrows conceptually from Solaris and stylistically from Hellraiser. Fishburne and Isaacs make good additions to Alien crew, but Neill’s Jack Torrance is underwhelming. Brilliant set design, Stargate excluded, and effects that beg for 3-D distract from a plot that occasionally tries too hard to wax philosophic.

Daybreakers

Underworld takes over leaving Neo Hawke and Omega Man Dafoe to battle for a cure in vampire Matrix. Decent premise and adequate effects make for a fun show, but the plot feels rushed and like it’s subjects, it fails to have any emotional pulse. Simultaneously darker and brighter than Twilight.
