Critics Consensus: While lavishly crafted and brimming with ambitious ideas, The Black Hole probes the depths of space with an unexciting story and hokey melodrama.

Reviews

Fat Guys at the Movies

Kevin Carr

A bizarre Disney-fied mash-up of FORBIDDEN PLANET and STAR WARS, this darker existential story is imperfect but also fascinating.

Rene Jordan

If you have a child in need of distracting, take them without fear to this inoffensive entertainment. In any other case, fear this black hole without end. [Full review in Spanish]

For all its undoubted spectacle The Black Hole is fundamentally a disappointment. Buried within it somewhere is a serious picture with an adult theme but only fragments of it remain.

Seeing this film makes it all the easier to appreciate the quality of Star Wars.

In less than 100 minutes, it tells its story well, and the effects are perfectly fine for what it needs to accomplish.
