Pretty sure this explanation came from Event Horizon first.

More like A Wrinkle in Time, the 1962 book

Alas, I have not read that book.

It is by no means an exhaustive list. Those are just the ones that sprang to mind.

I wonder if anyone has posted a supercut of this trope on YouTube…

I think remembering that, at least in movies, it originated with Event Horizon is critical because it is the only one that takes into account any downside to transdimensional travel…and what a downside it was.

I will always mourn the loss of any possible director’s cut of Event Horizon where the footage was so insanely over the top that the execs almost shit their pants.

I wonder if the movie still holds up. I haven’t seen it in 20 years, but it was the most terrifying movie I had seen up until that point, and for a long time afterwards too.
