Review of The Black Hole (1979) by Gray C — 16 May 2013
This film for me is haunting, chilling and beautifully retro. The robots are brilliantly animated and the film does not seem to be just a Star Wars clone. The film reminds me a bit of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea combined with 2001: A Space Odyssey, in essence a very good mix.
The scientist is although stereotypically evil has a haunting distressed look and rather interesting view on life and what he will find beyond the black hole which in its final sequence shows some very cryptic but haunting visions of what could happen beyond a black hole.
This film should not have been panned like it was and deserves more acclaim than critics give it with decent acting, a haunting pace which quickens when necessary, spectacular special effects and a interesting incite into the inside of the unknown.
