A beacon draws them to the edge of space and time, but once they arrive at the long-lost ship, the crew of the Palomino discovers a mysterious scientist and that things aren’t always as they seem. Explore deep space in this 1979 Disney sci-fi classic, The Black Hole.
With a budget similar to and success far from Star Wars, this still manages to be a good movie, back in the days when Disney used to do creative and original stuff, It has a great soundtrack, excellent set design, great graphics, good writing and performances, Maximilian Schell (Judgment at Nuremberg) and Anthony Perkins (Psycho) not wasting their potentials. The robots are nicely designed and really fun characters. I know it’s fiction and stuff, but the creators of this movie never heard of the concept “hull integrity”. While the movie isn’t perceived as a masterpiece of some sort, it’s a good space movie, a last hurrah of the 70s age, before the 80s kicked in. Solid four popcorns.
