As Seen On Screen

As Seen on Screen offers readers a chance to see film reviews for the everyman, without all of the clutter and nonsense fed to the average filmgoer. Plain, straitforward, to the point. That's our goal. We offer a diverse catalogue of which to choose from, from silent comedies to modern superhero films. Final note: this is a family friendly blog. We only review films rated G through PG-13, plus the unrated films of yesteryear. So if this sounds like your cup of tea, pull up a crumpet and enjoy. Thanks for your support!

     The Black Hole
1979  PG  SCIENCE FICTION  1h 38min
CAST— Maximilian Schell, Anthony Perkins, Robert Forster, Joseph Bottoms, Yvette Mimieux, Ernest Borgnine
MUSIC— John Barry  DIRECTOR— Gary Nelson

     This over-blown sci-fi clone is your basic time-waster when you tear away the fancy trimmings. A deep space exploration team discovers a missing ship, presumably deserted, on the outskirts of an enormous black hole. They land, only to find that the ship is inhabited by a nearly deranged scientist, a Captain Nemo wannabe, who controls the ship using a mass of robotic humans. After learning his plans of entering the black hole, the team decides to split, but not before facing predictable dangers along the way. This sci-fi rip-off is like a 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea for the Atari generation, complete with bad sound effects and enough colorful visuals to put any retro nerd into a trance. Warning: Not recommended for those suffering from migraines.
OUR RATING— **
