The Black Hole

It is too bad that the best part of this movie is the orchestral soundtrack,which I listened to often as a teenager. As for the rest, it is kind of frustrating to watch for a few reasons.Maximilian (the red cylon-like... Full review

*Spoilers* This movie has the best ending of any film I can remember.Let me clarify my position. It doesn't seem to make sense the first few times you watch the film, and the "official" explanation (Heaven / Hell) isn't really... Full review

With the advancement of movie technology today, I am awaiting a re-make of this film as I can see the enhancement of the Armageddon-like atmosphere of this movie.Even though this film came out on the heels of Star Wars I... Full review

I saw this movie in the theater when I was 6 years old. So you have to remember that frame of reference when you read these comments. I saw The Black Hole when I was six years old and, of... Full review

I have actually gone in here and altered and added to my original comments to make them a little less one-sided.Did you ever have one of those mutant pets, like a cat with six toes on its front paws, or... Full review

This was Disney's big Christmas release in 1979--a big budget, the first PG rating and big stars. It was a huge bomb which is too bad--it's pretty good.A spaceship's crew (Anthony Perkins, Robert Forster, Joseph Bottoms, Yvette Mimieux) find a... Full review

The Black Hole is probably the only Disney live-action movie (with the possible exception of Cool Runnings) that is even watchable. So the fact that it's incredibly fun just makes it all the more odd.Perhaps it's the overabundance of mediocre... Full review

Back in 1979, when this first came out, this could be seen coming down Main Street as a "Star Wars" cash-in. Even I could see that (being 14 at the time).At the time, it was being hailed by everyone whom... Full review

This movie does fall absolutely dead center in the middle of the road for me. On the one hand, you have decent F/X, great model work, some good performances (Maximilian Schell as the Nemo-like bad guy and Perkins as the... Full review

Not only is The Black Hole beautifully made from a technical aspect, it has marvelous performances. Robert Forester (Jackie Brown), Anthony Perkins (Psycho), Ernest Borgnine, Maximillian Schell. It does get a little campy but it is a Disney movie after... Full review

The performances work in The Black Hole 's favour.....Because this takes some time, the film has some difficulty suturing the audience in.....the film is all the better for it.....During the action scenes, the score is effective enough in livening the audience up enough to make them emotionally invested in what's happening onscreen.....The story of The Black Hole is very intriguing..... ...

And, of course, there is the supremely egotistical mad scientist, Dr. Hans Reinhardt, played by a supremely mad Maximilian Schell.....There's the beautiful female scientist, Dr. Kate McCrae, played by the beautiful Yvette Mimieux..... ... Full Review

The Black Hole also features some great character actors in some interesting roles. Unfortunately the story has too many holes for The Black Hole to be considered a classic science fiction movie the way something like 2001: A Space Odyssey ... Full Review

Much more attention to detail on some of the special effects.....Atmospheric sci-fi, but with poor special effects and a more adult theme that sits uncomfortably with the Disney style.....while his evil counterpart, the intimidating giant robot Maximilian, is wonderfully creepy..... ...

And such begins the series, that is being spawned from the success of the Trek Tribute Series, with "The Black Hole. As mentioned before, most of the cast really didn't pull off good dialogue. The movie has a pretty fair share of action and drama. ... Full Review
