Thank you for the upgrade!
Thanks RL. Saturn 3 (1980) dir. Stanley Donen has the more entertaining factor of Farah-Fawcett against the sinister doctor (Keitel) and his demigod robot Hector but here Maximilian Schell shines as the German-sinister doctor with his demigod robot …”Maximilian” doing human experiments on his crew, undertones right down to WW2 camps. Intelligence on the verge of madness (Perkins perfectly side-cast) at the edge of a collapsing world from which it ultimately cannot escape. Great cult sci-fi and a worthy addition. Now let’s go for Saturn 3!

I take on board what tak says, but at the time, as a 15 year old kid bouyed up on Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Close Encounters, off the back of Dr.Who & Star Trek – this seemed brilliant. You have to remember then that we were limited by what was on at the cinema, and whatever got shown on the 3 TV chanels. I loved the soundtrack albums too and still have Black Hole on vinyl – yes I’d seen THX1138 on a bw portable telly late at night when my parents thought I was asleep – similarly with Dark Star & Silent Running. You had to get what SF you could then. Yes, it’s Disney, but good on them.

This was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid.
During the ’70s, after seeing THX 1138, Silent Running, Logan’s Run, Star Wars, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and Alien, I wasn’t at all impressed by The Black Hole, which was basically 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea in outer space, and promoted as a “space disaster”.
In the end, The Black Hole didn’t continue as the franchise Disney had hoped for, as it sadly was a “space disaster”, being the expensive gamble that it was.
After the BR came out, I tried watching it again, but it was still how I had remembered.. yawn. I guess for some there’s at least nostalgia with it, but not for me.
Yet if you’re a fan of lower rated ’70s sci-fi movies such as Zardoz, Damnation Alley, Starcrash, Message from Space, Laserblast, and Star Odyssey, then I expect you should enjoy The Black Hole even more so.
Thanks again Rarelust!
You could just say thank you instead of pontificating bullshit on something others are fan of and was shared with you for free. Good god.
It’s a fun movie review. Can no one say anything that isn’t blowing sunshine up your butt?
@Jonathan Sheen
Thanks. I likewise had fun writing it.
@J
Thanks for your thoughtful comment, as it helped make things much more entertaining here for me. Also, if you feel offended then no worries, as I take great pleasure in pontificating my blasphemies to the extreme devotees of this sacred film. Take care and enjoy!
Eat a bag of excrement malcontent troll. It was shared with for free. What a cretin.
When it’s a forum of things shared for free I have the good taste to just say thanks. One day rare could just say screw it. I don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.
Thanks! Great Movie…One of the darker ones from Disney…
Right! Vincent, BOB, Maximilian.
Thanks! I’ve been looking for this one for a long time!
One of my all-time favorite Dark Age Disney movies! Thanks for posting this!
I’ve wondered why this Disney marvel never came out in hd earlier. Finally some respect it deserves.
Thank you, Rarelust.
Shell, Perkins, Borgnine, Mimieux – all in fairly predictable roles but still a great movie! The Ellenshaw father and son duo (along with others) did beautiful special effects and the ending is quite trippy. Thumbs up! Thanks RL!
