** The answer to this is relatively simple. Say you have a ship that has its engines craps out and its roughly the size of the Event Horizon. To put it simply, there's no way in hell that the dinky little ''Lewis and Clark'' could probably move that thing without destroying its own engines in the process and further FUBARing the situation. Thus, it would be necessary to totally destroy the ship because it would be a menace to navigation.

**** Weir plays the original transmission, which is incomprehensible. Then he says that they put it through audio filters to reveal the voice speaking, and he says no one was able to figure out what it was saying. Weir is clearly presenting it as a conundrum that experts on Earth were never able to solve even though they had years to do so. DJ picks up on the fact that it's Latin instantly. He has no established superhuman translation or hearing abilities. The implication is simply that he speaks Latin, and no one on Earth who listened to the recording spoke Latin. You'd think that in all the years they spent studying the recording, they'd have tried to figure out what language was being spoken. Latin might be a "dead" language, but it's pretty easy to identity.

*** Setting aside the EldritchAbomination stuff, presumably part of the reason the initial test of the ship was done 3 billion clicks away from the nearest human outpost was in case something went wrong with the gravity drive. Presumably there is some risk (however small) that the drive fails catastrophically and a renegade black hole shows up in the solar system. Better that kind of thing happens out by Neptune rather than, say, Earth.

*** It's not just the mechanical function of things; that alone is enough to make the Doom connection, since Doom is very light on plot, but not 40k, since 40k has a lot more to dive through than "mechanics of FTL travel." What sells the idea is the fact that, beyond that, the film has an extremely similar design aesthetic to 40k; the note on the YMMV page that it wouldn't be hard to fool a 40k fan who's never seen or heard of the movie into thinking it's intended to be 40k isn't much of an exaggeration, if at all. No, no one thinks it's ''supposed'' to be a 40k film, but you wouldn't have to change anything for it to be one.

*** It also explains why the guy giving the DistressCall in the hell dimension was speaking in Latin instead of the more common and understandable English. It was a way to lure people in.

*** There's a far more mundane possibility to consider: when the Lewis & Clarke was docking alongside Event Horizon, Smith ignored Weir's protests that an antenna array near Event Horizon's airlock wasn't a load-bearing structure and just clamped Lewis & Clarke onto it, destroying the antenna in the process. That means it ''was'' possible for Event Horizon to send the message, as the communications system wasn't busted until the Lewis & Clarke arrived.

*** Is possible that possessing Justin only to doom him in the airlock is another way for the ship to torture its victims: not only does it get to kill one of the crew members horribly, but also destroys the morale of the rest, along with the effort spent in trying to save him.
