Horizon

This "Thing" should be Burned at the BBQ...Everything about it is Rubbish I went into it with Great expectations....What a Waste of time...Do Yourselves a Favour...watch a Mickey Mouse Cartoon instead.... Arrrrrrggggg !!!

The basic story that unfolds in Horizon is interesting enough, and could have been the basis for an above-average sci-fi flick. Unfortunately the screenwriters did not exhibit similar rigor and creativity when fleshing it out. Plot holes abound, especially towards the end. Lines voiced by actors range from cliched but reasonable, to cliched and awkward, to, in some cases, idiotic. ("Give them hell!" "I intend to" is an instance of both--extremely commonplace-boring, and at the same time, it makes absolutely no sense in context.)

The acting ranged from reasonably good to awkward to cringe-inducing. There were too many fistfighting and gunfighting scenes, going on for far too long. And one or two scenes near the middle added nothing to the story.

I don't regret watching it, but would only recommend it to someone with a taste for B-grade or lower sci-fi.

... and watched the whole thing in the hope that perhaps the plot took some amazing twist that may have made up for an overall very substandard viewing experience. It didn't.

The plot is too much based on dumb people with dumber reactions. Man, I hate stupid, screaming people. Five minutes in and I was rooting for everyone to die... horribly. The CGI... well, just try and ignore the CGI. Was this a "let's use some town budget and make a movie around here" kind of production?

Lots going on in this one, mates. Lots of subplots and cross references and... blah. Lots of overly hysterical characters, gasping and grasping. No one central character to follow. So, lots of people to not care about. A big old spaceship, but lots of micro-action instead of the big picture. Fairly good fight choreography, but not much else going on. Seen on Tubi, the free streaming site, which has many indies, foreigns, older major studios, and now, live TV.
