The unofficial trilogy is Event Horizon (1997), Sunshine (2007), and Pandorum (2009). Three entirely different takes. But, Ironically, I watched The Black Hole (1979 Disney response to Star Wars) and Event Horizon back to back. It’s the same damn plot.
I thought they had confirmed that they intended it to be a 40k movie but never got the rights to the name so they made it a “generic” future but kept the script essentially the same.
Having just finished Event Horizon, I’m gonna go with that. Great cast, very interesting practical effects, silly plot, senseless gore.
I recently saw a video essay that argued that Event Horizon should be considered WH40K. They made some decent points.

Yep, the first time humanity flew through the Warp and realized the necessity of a Gellar field.

Maybe. I never looked into it, just kinda went “huh, that’s neat,” when I ran into the video.
One of my favorite movies.
