    I confused myself by thinking of Event Horizon instead of The Sphere because the stories are fairly similar. Also the Event Horizon’s engine was basicslly a sphere of black goo 🤷‍♂️

    I should watch both again. They’re pretty awesome.

      Event Horizon is the one where spacecraft lost in some warp experiment reappears. But the spacecraft in Sphere was also human and from the future. Should definitely rewatch both.

          In reality, they likely inspired each other.

          When Event Horizon came out, Games Workshop was still a somewhat niche hobby that few people had heard of, they were still developing lore.

          I imagine the writers saw some ideas about the “dangers of the warp” and decided to incorporate those ideas, then games workshop saw the movie and was like “Hell yeah, that’s what we’re talking about, lets lean into this warp shit even harder.”
