OK after watching it all, I gotta say no other video has inspired quite that feeling on constant vertigo and unease... i would be dead on the first attempt to do this

Ah 1993, U2's last gasp of greatness for me. Achtung Baby and the ZooTV tour were brilliant and Zooropa had its moments but after that I lost interest. Although Elevation was a great rock song, why can't they write more like that? I kept hoping U2 would do what R.E.M. did with Monster, put out a CD with loud guitar songs and stop over thinking everything. But it aint gonna happen, that song Vertigo sounded so forced and perfunctory. But I digress.....

Thanks for posting this.

Ugh. There's something really vertigo inspiring about this.

Yeah, Event Horizon does the sci fi horror damn well. The problem with the way sunshine does it, is that it tries to be something different and then sorta falls back on blood and gore. That's sorta my main gripe with battlestar galactica, it tried really hard to be a story about people with realistic sci-fi, and then suddenly veers off and becomes something completely different.

Event Horizon is a sci-fi horror flick and it knows it. The same way Lost is supernatural, where it doesn't feel bad the way it does in BSG.

Event Horizon's idea of hell reminds me a lot of Warhammer 40k, with living ships and chaos and so on.

Event Horizon is pure badace. I saw it originally on a humongous screen with a bass system so loud the seats shook when the asteroid at the beginning passes in front of the camera.

The spinning shot of Daylight Station actually gave me a sense of vertigo.. then the scary parts eventually came.

Then I got to go home to my little cabin like home in an area that had no street lights, and my roommate was out of town.

Very few movies get under my skin, that one did.. big time. I cry a little inside whenever I hear a fellow geek bash that movie.

...oh and I love the little connections to Hellraiser.

I liked this movie apart from the last part, where it goes all slasher/horror, which is at odds with the rest of it, I think.

In related news, Event Horizon is the most awesomest spacy scifi slasher horror movie ever made! (Apart from alien.)

It's like watching WWF Vertigo.

Or the ultimate nightmare for someone with vertigo...

Wow, I didn't know so many people suffered from migraines.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migraine#Epidemiology
I'm glad I don't have it, I would like to experience the aura though.

Why would you want that? When I get hit with an aura I'm nearly incapacitated because I cannot see anything infront of me and only see the edges. It really sucks and makes driving impossible. The video doesn't show it but for me that area in the C shape actually ceases to exist. I cannot see anything inside of it just the shimmering edges.

Thankfully I don't get the pain component however I do sometimes get vertigo 1 to 2 days after it. I'm told it's rare but it happens and it is very very bad.

Sweaty palms as well. Counter-intuitive response, right, since it would hurt your ability to grip?
Dangerous or steep overhangs will trigger vertigo (weak knees, lack of balance, sensation of swaying) in me. It's similarly counter-intuitive. Why lose balance in a situation which so critically requires it?
Maybe these reactions are evolutionarily advantageous because they steer us towards completely avoiding the situations (at the expense of coping badly if we have no choice).

Seeing as how we're bipedal with a high center of gravity and a slender base, it'd serve us well to steer clear of heights. Those of our ancestors that were afraid of heights lived to see another day in most cases while those with no fear had a higher chance of a fatal fall. Or maybe it's just something that happens because we're not used to being in those situations any longer. Can we change this response to this by becoming more familiar with it?

"I'm alright!" *face slams into the ground* lol
you got me there, I've no clue what this guy was on...
looks like he had vertigo pretty bad, and sudden loss of motor control under the illusion that he was just fine....
pretty funny

Well, the best way to avoid this kind of excitement is to stay at home and never travel any further than Disneyland/your local torture museum.

Note to self, next time I travel beyond my daily commute: make a video and get my 5 min's of fame at the Youtubes!

Seriously, I've been laughed at by my friends for decades because of my sissy vertigo, but I would take this bus anytime.
