Considering Disney won the first Oscar for special effects for the Science Fiction classic "Forbidden Planet," this movie put Disney out of the space adventure movie business. Special Effects: First you have to consider that this movie came out two years after "Star Wars," and the special effects of "Black Hole" look like something just ahead of "Lost in Space." The cute robots Vincent and Bob would look more at home on a Saturday morning cartoon. The other robots look like guys in robot suits that could learn something from "Lost in Space." The Cast: The cast is wonderful, and I have enjoyed watching them for years before this movie came out. Howeer they look like their jobs would be in their retirement home play. They are old enough to Luke Skywalker's parents. Maximillion Schell was the only person who looked the part. The Plot: I would put spoilers in here, but the plot in so lame there is no point. There is a robot gone wrong a la HAL 9000. There is a long "lost" ship with a crazy leader. Have you heard that before? Also why is the old space ship more advanced then the new one?
I love Science Fiction. I can sit through and enjoy what most consider bad Science Ficton. One of the things I love about it is that it stretches the imagination. This movie is just insulting.
