Black Hole

Rating: 2/10 (29 April 2013)

After watching this for about 2 or 3 hours, and not understanding anything, I felt obliged to look at my watch. Yumping Yiminy ! Only 20 minutes had passed by ! At this rate it was going to feel like 24 hours before I got to the end. So I'll confess: I accelerated the action. I might have missed a few plot points, but it didn't seem to matter much. Many of the visuals were rather amazing, but they, too, grew repetitive, and I wasn't at all sure what they were meant to be telling me. Also, there were vast crowds of zombies from another world, like things from outer space, hanging around. I could tell they wanted something, but I wasn't sure what. Was it Get A Life ? Aw, yeah, they wanted our planet. I seem to remember that plot from another film, long ago. Was it called The Bodysnatchers from Another World? War of the Worlds? Mars Attacks? Seems to me this story has been done to death. Some SF is brilliant: Bladerunner, Back to the Future, Terminator etc. Other SF is schlock and dreck. This is the latter, but I feel sad to say so, since there was evidently a lot of effort put into it. But it was boring: I just didn't care what it was about.
