The Black Hole (1979)

Director: Gary Nelson
Starring: Maximilian Schell, Robert Forster, Anthony Perkins, Yvette Mimieux, Ernest Borgnine
Viewed: On DVD


A cheesy post-Star Wars sci-fi, but it bears closer resemblance to sci-fis of the 1950s. Complete with pseudo-space-jargon, so-bad-they're-funny one liners, flat cast, dodgy SFX and R2D2 wannabes. Incredibly unexciting, never quite figures out what the hell its getting at. Borderline sleep-inducing, but there's some entertainment value in the all-out cheesiness.

Rating: 3
