Film Perfection

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

*Spoiler/plot- The Black Hole, 2006, With a scientific mishap, humanity is faced with a growing galactic black-hole in St. Louis with an electricity feeding life-form that was unleashed from another space/time dimension.*Special Stars- Judd Nelson, Kristy Swanson, David Shelby *Theme- Science often probes into matters that are better left unknown.*Trivia/location/goofs- TV movie, Watch for the electricity eating alien in this film.*Emotion- It looked like this film was 'cashing-in' on the era's black-hole studies making into nightly news reports. It's very bad and a waste of the starring actor's talents. A rather crazy film with the low-key dramatic situations but somewhat saved by the rest of the film's good horror pacing. The slow and tedious plot make the viewer over-interested in the electricity eating power alien of this film, but it is a buzz-kill plot element too.

I was bad in Physics at school... I admit, I was really bad, and only reason I got "C" grade and not Failed, was because my own grandma was the teacher.BUT - even I was laughing at the scientific side of this nonsense.One must be REALLY, REALLY high, to watch this movie and believe anything in it.Beside the nonsense plot, everything else in this movie is bad. acting, scripting, effects... total waste of time.Before this movie, all I knew about Black Holes was that they exist somewhere out there, and they are bad things... now I know why they say so...

Two weeks before this I read Gregory Bendfords COSM. When the movie started I thought no way, it almost looked that this was going to be much fun. But as you know, there are so many great stories written, than why are the new scifi movies only about special effects, and everybody is forgetting the base, a good story.After watching this, I really thought what did I see, were did the time go. Calling this movie scifi because there is a black hole in it, is a bit mediocre.Better watch 'The day the earth stood still', special effects are simple, and it's black and white. But someone paid attention to the story.

This movie is one of the worst of the "shovelware" the Sci-Fi channel shows. The acting is awful, the plot is broken, the characters are contrived, and the end result screams "Mystery Science Theater." This is a true rotten tomato if one ever existed.On the other hand, if you're a St. Louisan, you're bound to get some entertainment out of this movie, if for no other reason than to see the local landmarks. Of course, you'll be shocked to discover that the St. Louis Science Center is, in fact, a quantum laboratory and that Busch Stadium was apparently not demolished in the way the local news claimed! The local appeal aside, this is an utterly awful movie that is only watchable if your friends like to make snide remarks during the pitiable conversations. If you like movies like "Reptillian" or "10.5: Apocalypse," watch this film. For the millions of others of you out there, run away. Far away.
