The Black Hole (2015)

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

During the 80's there were good films and there were bad. The bad were terrible. This movie is like locking someone in a room, getting them to watch these terrible movies over and over again and then make them write a script.The plot themes don't hold together nor do they tie together. The filming is a little worse than a bad 'made for TV' movie. Cliché after cliché after cliché from the 80's - which is why the acting is so bad...If there's an attempt at lighting? It didn't show. The locations the 'skipping scenes' are shot in have no baring on the plot.It feels like the sci fi 'multi dimension' and 'quantum physics' is an interpretation which fits snugly into a bad 80's movie - i.e. it makes no sense and has no grounding in reality. It feels more like the writer doesn't really understand what these two physics concepts actually are. We are given no reason why they are involved, stay involved or disappear.But... when you see 'the event' scene it is touching and the sound quality is good. The film should be marketed as "Knight Rider' and "The A Team" do loss avoidance.This movie is trying to have a big emotional hit at the end but, because you never emotionally get involved with the characters it simply fails.

First of all, forget the official synopsis. This is not a sci-fi flick about the collapse of spacetime or anything like that. It's misleading and it's a shame, I think that is what has put some people off.What it is though is a rather clever mind screw as the result of a car crash. Stick with it and it all starts to make sense, it was interesting to try to guess what was going on and I almost got it right. There are some very clever and emotionally charged plot changes. The acting is not that bad, especially when the get to the crunch of what is really going onThink of it as similar to the butterfly effect, for a low budget movie this really was a clever storyline if a little too long before it got to the real emotional crunch point of the car crash itself.

I love weird movies, space, time travel, etc. I love all that. This was something that I can't even put into words. The description of the movie is being overly generous. Its like saying Star Wars is about a family squabble. Honestly the best thing about the movie is the music, and thats a stretch also. Maybe it was being filmed in Colorado or that I have seen better home made movies, but this movie was not good. I mean Dean and McDowell were side characters at best. It must have been that legalized pot that made this movie the way it was. And maybe if you were high it would make more sense. But being stone cold sober and not on drugs; well lets just say that I lost the time in watching this movie that no amount of time or space will I ever get back. Skip this all the way to the dump bin.

The summary sounded promising, though vague, but the 4 rating should have been a warning. Decided to watch due to Malcolm McDowell being in the cast. Big mistake! From screenplay to directing and acting, it was mediocre at best. What could have been a good idea, it did not happen: no plot, no script. It is hard to pinpoint were it went wrong. Perhaps when the writer had the idea for the script, or when anyone decided to actually pay for it. I thought about the spoiler alert, but it is hard to write about a plot when there is none. About acting, when the best was the mediocre acting of Mr McDowell (I love him, but here he couldn't help much). Pretty much the same happening all over again, with slight changes in setting, no logic in anything. Sometimes the music can build some suspense, but even that was a fail. 1 star for Malcolm McDowell, 1 for the film.
