Movie Reviews of The Black Hole
Movie Review: campy classic
Summary: 4 Stars
The Black Hole has something that a lot of supposedly better movies don't - an original idea. That idea may have been too far reaching for it's day but even viewing again, decades later, it was enjoyable.
Best of all for me - The robots. Still wish I had that Vincent model from when I was a kid. - sigh -
You do have to overlook the inconsistencies - great visual effects then a minute later you can see the wires, and I think the actors did the best they could with poor dialogue. If you view it just for fun I believe you should enjoy it.
Would love to see a remake.
Movie Review: Disney in outer space
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't recall Walt Disney making any science fiction movies before the Black Hole.Its a fun movie with the mad scientist and his assistant,which in this case happens to be an evil robot. The monster in this story was in fact the Black Hole itself. The whole story line was good,it had a different look for a film dealing with something we don't know to much about. I enjoyed the entire cast, and the robots also. This is a science fiction movie with a twist,and fun to watch. An interesting thought, I don't believe Disney has ventured into space since the Black Hole.Movie Review: Flawed But Still Classic
Summary: 4 Stars
The budget aloine makes it classic. It's also a pretty original idea and the characters are original. It's also much more frightening than Star Wars... it terrified me at age six. has camp appeal 27 years later, maybe helped by the fact I bought mine in Mexico and it was titled 'El Abismo Negro'. Neck-and-Neck with "Flash Gordon" which came out the following year. Much Better than "Krull", "Dragonslayer" or "The Beastmaster". A must if you saw this as a kid or like overblown scifi cheese with mad scientists.Movie Review: The Black Hole
Summary: 4 Stars
While this movie suffers from the kitsch stylings and acting standard for Disney in the late 70s, it nonetheless remains a brilliant concept and a powerful story. Throughout the movie, the black hole itself provides a backdrop that gives the movie a sense of ominous foreboding. Maximilian Schell dominates the film as the insane doctor Doctor Hans Reinhardt. The movie has powerful themes, but as a Disney film is child friendly. For anyone who appreciates Sci Fi movies before the 1990s, this is a must see.Movie Review: A classic!
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is all about artistic SFX. The dialogue is silly at times and the characters are fairly uni-dimensional. Vincent the robot is really a cheesy looking droid compared to something like R2D2. So, why am I giving it 4 stars? because I like this film mostly for the way it looks. I love the Cygnus, I think it is a very elegant ship and I am in the process of building a 10" model from scratch. Overall: GOOD in a different way.
