If we never ended Apollo honestly we'd be there by now to some degree.

Colony may be generous but a permanent science station for sure.

yeah it might have said station/base not colony and I forgot. I can't imagine the moon being worth colonizing

True. This is why moon base proposals suggest a rotating staff who only visit for a couple weeks.

Alright that was really good. Great sci fi/horror movie all around. I'm surprised I don't see more people mention it more often.

Stark definitely brought The Darkness with her though right? she had the same kind of dream Alan Grant did at the beginning.

The fan theory is that the ship went through the Immaterium, a sort of warp space that is infested with demonic entities and basically brought something back that infected the ship while physically holding it there to also attack the crew.

With Stark, it could be that the demon is still present but we will never truly know.

I wonder if it inspired Doom 3's story any. (Teleport/warp taking people to hell.) I always thought it was closer to that than the actual Doom movie.

Eh, it was back when Anderson was still new and didn't find his directorial "groove" yet. If he made a sequel now days, a. it'd star his wife and b. it'd be garbage.

I think Dead Space was inspired by this film? The film itself is kinda a dark riff on The Black Hole by Disney which was dark as **** and I still dont know how they slipped that one past censors. If you liked Event Horizon definitely watch The Black Hole.

Not to mention moon dust is spectacularly corrosive due to how fine it gets. It can clog and mess with tons of stuff. Its pretty controlled with the samples that have been brought back to Earth.

So having a permanent settlement there would need to have some pretty good ingenuity to make it safe long term. Im sure we can do it some day but Im not sure our tech, as advanced as it is, can stand up to the rigors it would be put under

I looked that up and it sounds pretty interesting.

I've spent the last 3 years watching new movies but a lot slip under the radar.

I loved The Ruins but I feel like I'm the only one that ever says that.

Event Horizon is great sci-fi horror but a lot of the cgi does not hold up at all and that kind of ruins rewatches for me.

I still remember the first time I watched it. Had zero idea what it was about. Also I was by myself at my apartment around 3am and was coming down from something I ingested. I was spooked to say the least.

Sam Neil had a major movie role as the grown up Damien in 1981's "Omen III: The Final Conflict".
