The Black Hole Ratings & Reviews
TIME Magazine
Richard Schickel
It is good to see the Disney craftsmen doing what they do best on such a grand and risky scale. If one has time for only one space opera this season, this is the one to choose.
TV Guide
The problem...is that the protagonist, Schell, is nuts, and we find it difficult to root for him. The other characters are never fully developed, and so the picture becomes a triumph of style over substance.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Is let down by the weak script.
Turner Classic Movies Online
Sean Axmaker
The science of this fiction is as hokey as the drama, but the imaginative art design and excellent special effects are magnificent.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
An elegant, if stubbornly unexciting, popcorn-muncher that flips into a chin-scratcher, with a crew of mostly bland heroes.
eFilmCritic.com
David Cornelius
Ranks among the very best films to come from the post-Star Wars sci-fi boom.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...ultimately revealed to be an underrated and surprisingly dark Disney effort.
Kansas City Kansan
Steve Crum
For-its-time state of the art effects help flat story and acting.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
It cost half as much as Star Trek and looks better -- not as lavish, perhaps, but more original. The special effects are fancy, and the design even more so.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Takes us all the way to the rim of space only to bog us down in a talky melodrama whipped up out of mad scientists and haunted houses.
Creative Loafing
Matt Brunson
Even as a fantasy-lovin' boy of 14, I was bored silly by this movie, and a repeat viewing just last week revealed that the film has, if anything, gotten worse over time.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
...with so many great fantasy and sci-fi films appearing in the intervening years, I doubt that too many adults are going to find the Disney flick of much interest. I didn't.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
Disney's first PG-rated film was pioneering for its time (integrating special effects better than any film before it), but it suffers pretty badly today.
