Trying to be everything and ending up with nothing

The Black Hole (1979)

Directed by Gary Nelson this film stars Maximilian Schell, Robert Forster, Joseph Bottoms and Yvette Mimieux. A spaceship travelling near a massive black hole discovers a long missing research vessel and goes to investigate.

Disney attempted a hard science fiction film trying to mix Star Trek, 2001: A Space Odyssey and some cute Star Wars robots but comes up with a complete stinker. This is more like the sci-fi film of someone whose only experience with the genre is reading a one paragraph synopsis, there is really no science at all. Compared to Star Wars or 2001 the production values are pretty terrible leaving it hard to find anything to enjoy about this film.


1/5
