Good movie, unfortunately not that great of an overall transfer.
Not to mention it has no audio upgrade.

I saw this opening night before it had become a cult classic. Probably my favorite opening night for a horror flick after Bram Stoker's Dracula.

One of the things this movie had going for it is the short length. I don't think extending the scene that was most famously cut would have added much.
I guess as an extra on the blu-ray, but I think maybe it's best that it was lost.

There is no audio upgrade, but from the link you provided:

"Paramount brings Event Horizon to the UHD format with a spectacular 2160p/Dolby Vision transfer that is worlds away superior to the original 2008 Blu-ray. I do not have access to a copy of the Shout! Factory release and cannot make a comparison, but it's safe to say that this is the current pinnacle for the film on a home video format.

Compared to the 2008 release, this UHD offers a significant improvement to the film's natural grain structure rendering. It's beautifully organic and smooth, well defined and never appearing clumpy or processed; spikes in intensity are rare (see the 45-minute mark for one). This is a particularly nice filmic texturing that is certainly the base for an excellent image. The picture is sharp and clear, and textures are complex. Though the film is fairly dark, with grays and blues and greens and browns dominating the ship interiors, there's no mistaking the exacting clarity with which the set pieces and the various costumes are presented to their fullest visual potential. Faces enjoy robust sharpness and intimate definition as well to pores, lines, and hairs, well beyond the reach of the 2008 Blu-ray. There are some inherently softer shots, and the visual effects lack that razor edge definition by their dated design, but the core film elements look stunning. Fans are going to be ecstatic! "

Seems like the video is quite the improvement?

This was such a good movie. I saw it when I was way too young for it and it gave me nightmares. 😂

Anyone know if this transfer is different compared to the Shout Factory / Scream Factory release? I own that one already, but love this movie so much, I'm tempted to double dip (the former was Blu-Ray only).

Well you should always read reviews with a grain of salt. It also said: "This is neither the best-looking movie by its nature nor one that lends itself to total UHD reference bliss, but this is absolutely a fine presentation of the film that does every second of it justice.". I've watched this and yes the PQ is better than the BR version, overall not a great transfer to say the least.For me I won't pay for half an upgrade especially when the better half is the one excluded. Especially when I own the BR version.

Haha, ditto. Saw it on HBO when it was first released to cable and it was somewhat mis-billed as a Sci-Fi thriller film but it definitely crosses over into the horror genre.

So yeah, it stuck with me and I didn't like walking down my home's dark hallway for days afterwards but man it's still such a good movie.

This and Pandorum are my favorite space movies... Lost in space too.

Watched it release night at the theater. This is the only movie I've gotten nauseous watching. Probably didn't help that we were seated from row.
