Movie Reviews of The Black Hole
Movie Review: Twenty thousand light years under the universe
Summary: 2 Stars
1979 ... let's see, STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE, METEOR, MOONRAKER, BUTCH & SUNDANCE THE EARLY YEARS, THE FRISCO KID. Ok, not exactly timeless classics. It also brought this very, very strange and dark entry from Disney. Incredible work by Peter Ellenshaw on this intended space version of Verne's classic. Two stupidly "cute" robots -- the voices of Roddy McDowell and Slim Pickens. My sharpest memory of this movie upon seeing it at a theatre at the time was, "Jeez, I can't believe it was only 90 minutes! It seemed like forever!" The ending, I guess, is some strange play on 2001. Good cast but stilted dialogue undoes everything. I'm not saying this movie is the worst thing ever done. Hardly. But Disney touted this as their modern 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA and Schell's character as a modern Nemo. It just doesn't make it. It does have a terrific cast: Schell, Ernest Borgnine, Yvette Mimmiuex, Robert Forester, Anthony Perkins, Joseph Bottoms. A pity.
