I watched it as a kid and it scared me because it was so dark, you could sense the evil. It felt like good was in the domain of evil and they were being sucked into the black hole of evil. Quite distressing as there was much more evil than good.
as a kid I hated this movie and anything sci fi but now as an adult I enjoy it every much along with star trek and many more sci fi shows and films, Younger me was retarded.
I have always loved The Black Hole....the characters, the robots, even the dialogue. The ships are beautiful and the lighting is amazing when the Palomino is exploring the Cygnus. Vincent is still my all time favourite robot, I love how smart he is and how he spews philosophy to Charlie all the time.
This film was groundbreaking in many aspects of cinema. It was the first to use a digitally recorded soundtrack. It also developed two film techniques that variations of are now commonplace in modern filmmaking: ACES allowed computer controlled camera and platform movements to film models in more realistic ways and Matte Scan allowed paintings to be better integrated into the scenes with the actors greatly reducing set cost. Part of the films intent was to one up industrial light and magic and put Disney in the lead as a more attractive production house for complex visual effects.
This is essentially a gothic horror story in space, with cute robots bolted on. One of the darkest things Disney ever did. Has more in common with The Clonus Horror or The Stepford Wives than it does with Star Wars, although the core plot is of course structured like 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. Great film? No. But very interesting, and beautiful. Brilliant John Barry score as well.
Truthseeker1515 I could see event horizon being inspired by some elements. Honestly I don’t think I would be mad if there was a black hole remake. That is if done right. Like maybe more about the robots and drones. Personally I’d want to see all of them become these cybernetic abominations. The Cygnus I would keep the same, but I feel the Palomino needs some kind of update, like size wise I would expect a ship like that to be about the size of the main sphere of the Discovery 1 from 2001 a space odyssey or maybe even closer to the millennium falcon size wise, something that would give the idea that this is an exploratory vessel searching for habitual life in space.
In the 70's there were 4 films I saw twice at the cinema, Star Wars (of course), Superman, Grease, and The Black Hole, I may be 50 next year but I'm so glad to have been a 10 year old at the end of the 70's to see all these fab films at the cinema, and also remember being so jealous the night my mum and dad went off to see Alien (Obviously I wasnt old enough).
Gary, sorry to keep correcting you, but Disney's first live action movie was Treasure Island in 1950, if you don't count Song of the South (live action and animated).
I think this is the kind of thing you arguably *should* remake, if you want to do a remake. It's not a perfect classic that you'll never be able to top. It's a movie with a premise that has potential, some good aspects, and glaring flaws that kept it from being a big hit. The closest analogue might be the original "Battlestar Galactica", and of course that was eventually remade as a show that outshone the original and was very successful.
Ernest Borgnine as Harry Booth asking, ‘Are you programmed to speak,’ has to be some of the most ironically dark and chilling words ever uttered. Rheinhart turned his crew into robots, and the. he merged with Max becoming a robot in hell at the end.
It was not Disney's first live action film. They had plenty of live action films (example: Treasure Island in 1950 and 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea in 1954), but this was probably their first space fiction film (and it was terrible).
I believe it was their first film set in space, although they had done science fiction before. The Cat From Outer Space for instance the year before, or Escape To Witch Mountain a couple of years before that. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone, it was Disney's first film set in space right?
Well, Disney did have a series of short semi-documentaries in 1955 which outlined future space exploration. The first was "Man In Space", followed by "Man and the Moon", and finally, "Mars and Beyond". They were narrated partly by animator Ward Kimball and also by Willy Ley, Heinz Haber, and Wernher von Braun.
The ending was weird but the way I see it is this: We don't REALLY know what likes within and beyond a Black Hole. So, in many ways, the most we can do is guess. Instead of doing so, the Disney writing team wrote a very allegorical and artistic sequence that is very much a blank canvas, inviting us as viewers to impose our own interpretation on the scene. Was there heaven and hell within? Was it just Kate hallucinating Reinhardt and Maxemillian's damnation? Was the planet the probe ship was approaching Earth or somewhere else? Were they even in the same universe? It remained in the eye and mind of the viewer to answer those questions within themselves to their own satisfaction and then consider what it says about the universe on its most fundamental level. The writers and director rightly refuse to give us a clue and answer the questions for us. It is Arthur C Clarke-like touches like this that marks 'The Black Hole' as hard sci-fi rather than Space Opera, something done more recently by films like Interstellar, Arrival and, to a lesser extent, Contact.
The black hole is one of those movies I would like to see a remake of if done right. Two of the biggest elements that are a must is the Arthur C. Clarke and HP Lovecraft elements. The black hole itself feels Lovecraftian, much like the monolith from 2001. Things that are beyond our understanding, but it draws you towards it with no idea as to what will happen. One element I feel should be added is the robots, I like the idea of the Doctor turning the crew into drones, but to really add the creep factor, the Doctor turns them into cybernetic monstrosities with them either being turned into the drones, or the sentries giving the main characters the dilemma of killing these poor people, or putting them out of their misery
the Reinhardt and Maximillian in Hell sequence was a dream sequence the woman had when they were passing thru the black hole, the bit where Maximillian merged with Reinhardt, you can clearly seen that the robot didn't have the hole V.I.N. Cent (Vital Information Necessary Centralised, do I get nerd points for remembering this?) drilled into the Big Red Meanie during the escape.
This was a VHS rental classic and a great watch as an 80s teen. One thing to notice, has anyone not found similarities between Maximilian, the robot and recognizers, the large hovering vehicles in Tron?
17:00 The last words of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe were actually 'shit' instead of 'more light'. When Goethe was on his dying bed, he wanted to recite his last words he had prepared - but due to the darkness of night, he was asking for a candle to read. His last words have been 'more light... shit'.
You really have to indulge in fantasy to suspend disbelief with that ending. The destructive energy in a black hole is a million times worse than say falling into the sun.
The Black Hole, Tron, Watcher in the Woods, and the two Witch Mountain movies were often collectively known as the "Disney Dark Five." Parents complained so loudly at Disney for scaring their kids....Tri-Star films was born.
Touchstone Films. Yeah, Disney was torn for years between their desire to branch out into more adult movies and their need to protect their kid-friendly brand. Eventually they figured out they could just spawn a different brand, and Touchstone was the result. That was very successful, and then they did it several more times, and started acquiring outside studios. In many ways it was the beginning of the Disney octopus as we know it today. Tri-Star was an offshoot of Columbia Pictures, HBO and CBS (now owned by Sony).
Saw this at the cinema and loved it! I was only 8, and Perkins death stuck with me for years. I can happily watch this film now, and apart from the crazy ending it's quite an atmospheric and engaging experience. There was talk of a remake/reboot when Tron Legacy came out, but I think that's been canned now. :(
You guys were correct about this one forgotten. I remember Space 1999, Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars (of course), etc from this era of my childhood. This one I could never remember! I remember Maximilian, characters and the scenes well, but could never remember this movies name! I was watching a review for Space 1999 and they mentioned this movies name. Why Im here! This was a cool flick and I really enjoy watching it again and your reviews! Thanks guys!
Seriously, I truly believe that Disneys '"The Black Hole " is the best single science fiction adventure movie ever made , the opening score is stunning ,and you can never forget the black hole itself , being a constant presence in the film . I am so glad that they did not make a boring continuing saga out of it. Just let it happen to you without any preconceived ideas ,It is "BRILLIANT'", there true creative imagination at work here, like in the 50s ,60s , and 70s episodes of The outer limits, the twilight zone , the night gallery, the untouchables , Combat ...
I loved the fact that the probe ship was programmed to enter the black hole and the heroes were unable to escape. It would have been simple and expected to just have them escape. The religious imagery at the end did not really fit the rest of the movie but at least it was thought provoking.
The part you guys didn't point out the irony when it is revealed that Reinhart was now the guardian of hell inside Maximillian. Maximilian Schell would be spending eternity inside....Maximilian's shell. LOL!
"More light!" is the final words of Spinoza, not Goethe -- or at least, it's the attributed last words of Spinoza. (In the Internet Age, though, I'm pretty sure it's attributed to either Einstein or Gandhi.)
Many of us grew up on the 60s watching Disney "live action" films and TV programs, so not sure where that comment came from. Also, you state that it "preceded" Star Wars, but since that was released in '77, the math doesn't work, but you seemed to have sorted that out later.
Like "Star Trek: The Motion Picture", the project was in development before Star Wars came out, but the success of Star Wars meant that it got a lot of money thrown at it and was obviously retooled to add some Star Wars-like aspects (which mostly made it weaker, since this story is very much not Star Wars--it's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea crossed with an eschatological horror story).
Besides from the production company, the movie itself doesn't have much resemblance to the usual Disney productions. It is much darker and more adult, not being ruined for childrens entertainment. It isn't close to be comparable to "Blakes7", as suggested. If a straight comparison - the drama in "Blakes7" is more similar to "Prisoner" than "The Black hole". I totally missed the christian end theme when I first saw it. I try not to watch movies with my symbolism goggles on, as it tends to lessen movie plots. The end could be interpreted many ways. I'm not so sure it's showing a flesh and blood type of ending as much as an existence on another plane where there are more existential possibilities (which are built upon your personal experience/baggage up to that point). The black hole is essentially a christian allegory for the Pearly Gates (without the stupid gatekeeper). I'm surprised the 'reviewers' missed that. Well worth watching. They don't make movies like this anymore, with memorable, truly dark villains, memorable scenes and specialfx using real cameras and real casting light.
I do like this movie, though it has a LOT of flaws, it still has a unique feel to it. Something very few modern sci-fi movies have atm (Rogue One excluded) is any real distinctiveness to them to enable you to tell them apart.
Love this movie so much. Got it in dvd then recently decided to get it on blu ray. Unfortunately it seems like its impossible to get it on blu ray. I think it was actually released on blu ray but not recently.
Does anyone know the metaphysical and / or religious meaning expressed through the black robed android clones sitting and bowing at their control panels.
I'm not sure that there is a clear or consistent metaphysical or religious symbolism. It may be more choices to play up atmosphere and mood in different ways. Raised as a catholic I've never really understood where the zombified crew fit into the heaven and hell images at the end. I would have expected them to be released/freed from their existences, rather than populating hell. Hell would have been their existence on the Cygnus before it approached the black hole.
So unfairly maligned by many, it's a pretty good sci-fi adventure. In many ways far better than Event Horizon, which clearly stole a lot in the way of mood, concept, and visuals.
Great movie! But I always wondered why the need for armed robots and sinister Maximilian if Dr Reinhardt was the only person on board? I get it - the script said so.
Hey guys I think your facts might be off, Disney had ithe life action films before The black Hole, movies such as Twenty thousand leagues under the sea and Swiss Family Robinson and treasure Island were all before The Black Hole I think The black Hole was Disneys first time trying sci Fi At tleast I think so .
Habitable life...lifeforms that could be brought from one planet to another...brought back to Earth because all the livestock and the plants were dead or something...
Very rare to find other people who enjoy this beautiful movie.
There are too few intelligent people in the World.
Russell Thompson Amen.
I watched it as a kid and it scared me because it was so dark, you could sense the evil. It felt like good was in the domain of evil and they were being sucked into the black hole of evil. Quite distressing as there was much more evil than good.
as a kid I hated this movie and anything sci fi but now as an adult I enjoy it every much along with star trek and many more sci fi shows and films, Younger me was retarded.
BigGator5 ......i am one of them
I have always loved The Black Hole....the characters, the robots, even the dialogue. The ships are beautiful and the lighting is amazing when the Palomino is exploring the Cygnus. Vincent is still my all time favourite robot, I love how smart he is and how he spews philosophy to Charlie all the time.
This film was groundbreaking in many aspects of cinema. It was the first to use a digitally recorded soundtrack.

Part of the films intent was to one up industrial light and magic and put Disney in the lead as a more attractive production house for complex visual effects.
This film is the Disney PG version of "Event Horizon"...I love it!
This is essentially a gothic horror story in space, with cute robots bolted on. One of the darkest things Disney ever did. Has more in common with The Clonus Horror or The Stepford Wives than it does with Star Wars, although the core plot is of course structured like 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea.
Great film? No. But very interesting, and beautiful.
Brilliant John Barry score as well.
+KingKaitain The Cygnus reminds me of the ship in 'Event Horizon'...

Saw this when I was 13. Always loved it.
Gary, sorry to keep correcting you, but Disney's first live action movie was Treasure Island in 1950, if you don't count Song of the South (live action and animated).
Primed for a re-make - if you don't count 'Event Horizon' as a kind of 18 (Hard-R) re-make.
I think this is the kind of thing you arguably *should* remake, if you want to do a remake. It's not a perfect classic that you'll never be able to top. It's a movie with a premise that has potential, some good aspects, and glaring flaws that kept it from being a big hit. The closest analogue might be the original "Battlestar Galactica", and of course that was eventually remade as a show that outshone the original and was very successful.
That opening regarding the ship I even thought "did Anderson see this before making Event Horizon" and then cut out shortly after that shot?
Andy with no beard and glasses. No. I was not ready for this.
Ernest Borgnine as Harry Booth asking, ‘Are you programmed to speak,’ has to be some of the most ironically dark and chilling words ever uttered.
Rheinhart turned his crew into robots, and the. he merged with Max becoming a robot in hell at the end.
Its not Disney's first live action film, it is the first PG film though
I guess it was their "habitable life" moment
It was not Disney's first live action film. They had plenty of live action films (example: Treasure Island in 1950 and 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea in 1954), but this was probably their first space fiction film (and it was terrible).

Particularly loved how they actually made space dark, you don't see that very often but you should. If you're not close to a star it's dark in space.
omg Nostalgia overload as soon as I see Maximillian. That robot scared the shit out of me.
GTwo
I had the Maximilian action figure... He used to kick the crap out of my Star Wars action figures!
I saw it in 1979 and loved it since then.
The final sequence was indeed scary to watch as a child, not to mention confusing. To think the bearded dude merged with the robot...
KingFossilFER you could say he was in... Maximillion’s Shell!
I’ll see myself out.
The Ultimate maximilion schell in maxamillion's shell, good one
aelitadelarobia thanks. I couldn’t help but notice your profile pic. Is it who I think it is?
This is the best review of The Black Hole I've found on RUclips. Thank you for actually talking about the movie.
the BLACK HOLE is a CLASSIC!
This movie has some very iconic music that I've heard before.
John Barry was likely best-known for scoring the James Bond films. This is some of his best work, though.
17:17 Maximilian Schell is in Maximilian's shell!
the Reinhardt and Maximillian in Hell sequence was a dream sequence the woman had when they were passing thru the black hole, the bit where Maximillian merged with Reinhardt, you can clearly seen that the robot didn't have the hole V.I.N.

I was 10 years old when this came out in theaters. By the end I was very confused, but loved it.

Disney can definitely do scary. The banshee in Darby O'Gill was scary as balls!
Atypical The Black Cauldron is a scary film too! Love that one!
+Midgetwithahacksaw saw Black Cauldron 9 times a child back in the eighties. Didn't get released til' 20 something years later.
I saw Darby way back in the 60's when I was little. That Banshee scared the shit out of me!

Best Roddy McDowall role: Dr. Mellon in “Laserblast.” HAHAHAHA

Disney's first live action movie? Holy FUCK you're high! Good CHRIST!
Yeah, that would be "Treasure Island" in 1950.
You failed to acknowledge the best part of the film, John Barry's wonderful score.

Careful! There are "SPOLIERS" ahead. 😆
Um...no. Disney's first live action movie was "Treasure Island"(1950). Their next one was "20,000 Leagues under the Sea."(1951)
The "dark age" for Disney
The zombie face freaked me out - I saw this movie when I was 11 or 12.
Besides from the production company, the movie itself doesn't have much resemblance to the usual Disney productions. It is much darker and more adult, not being ruined for childrens entertainment. It isn't close to be comparable to "Blakes7", as suggested. If a straight comparison - the drama in "Blakes7" is more similar to "Prisoner" than "The Black hole".

Well worth watching. They don't make movies like this anymore, with memorable, truly dark villains, memorable scenes and specialfx using real cameras and real casting light.
Everyone should enjoy Blake's 7
The beginning creeped me out as a kid
I do like this movie, though it has a LOT of flaws, it still has a unique feel to it. Something very few modern sci-fi movies have atm (Rogue One excluded) is any real distinctiveness to them to enable you to tell them apart.
First to have an "A" rating. saw THE BLACK HOLE at the Bournemouth, Gaumont 2, Dolby Stereo with side/rear mounted surrounds and overhead surrounds.
My God... I was there too... I think it was February 1980....? I bunked school that afternoon!
I remember seeing this, but I never knew what it was. I remember that shoot out explicitly.
Love this movie so much. Got it in dvd then recently decided to get it on blu ray. Unfortunately it seems like its impossible to get it on blu ray. I think it was actually released on blu ray but not recently.

Absolutely love this movie. Its a shame Disney couldn't make their Star Wars movies as good as this movie.
16:54 was creepy.
6:15 - lol 14:45 - haha
Liked this move
The Black Hole was pretty interesting and cool when we saw it on Disney+.
And now Disney is planning to remake this late 70's cult classic.
Yeah, Disney's "Treasure Island" came out in 1950... twenty-nine years earlier.
one of my favorite films of all time, in spite of (perhaps even because of in some cases) it's faults.
This was an awesome movie I watched as a kid! I still appreciate it and enjoy watching it today! :)
So unfairly maligned by many, it's a pretty good sci-fi adventure. In many ways far better than Event Horizon, which clearly stole a lot in the way of mood, concept, and visuals.
Great movie! But I always wondered why the need for armed robots and sinister Maximilian if Dr Reinhardt was the only person on board? I get it - the script said so.
About time!!
the score is still creepy af,..
Hey guys I think your facts might be off, Disney had ithe life action films before The black Hole, movies such as Twenty thousand leagues under the sea and Swiss Family Robinson and treasure Island were all before The Black Hole I think The black Hole was Disneys first time trying sci Fi At tleast I think so .
Good Stuff :)
Also Moonraker and cheers this movie is great
Yes good film, I agree, bit childish but also dark and dreamy - with fab music. Unique!
Have you guys done the Lord of the rings animation? I saw a poster of it in the background. You can't be having that and have no review. Attend to it.
Fun movie from my childhood. 6.5/10. 20,000 leagues in space.
Who can't spell Spoilers?
I'd like to point out one word. Just one word... "Spoliers"" Should have been "Spoilers"
This is a review what do you think. Lol
Stuka
Whirlwind
Spoliers
Wow the top looks like a bottom and the bottom looks like a top
Visually this is a gorgeous film, but the science is batshit stupid.
Indiana Jones boulder
Habitable life...lifeforms that could be brought from one planet to another...brought back to Earth because all the livestock and the plants were dead or something...
Sounds naughty
"Spoliers" ^^
Singing animals
Good example of a bad movie with a lot of great stuff in it.
Country
Remake the movie.
Awful film. The Disney mob were clearly out of their element.
