if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

I watched this movie for the first time when I was fourteen, and my quality filter was not quite developed yet. As a fourteen year old, I thought that this was the most boring movie ever. I have just watched it for the second time six years later, and this time I was still able to enjoy it a little more. The acting was only a little better than Arnold from Troll 2. The CGI special effects were worse than the original Jurassic Park (which was completely passable for the time, it was released ten years earlier). The science regarding the black hole was so absurd that Wile E. Coyote would laugh at it. The characters don't even try to be interesting. The entire movie was just boring. I liked it better the second time because I could laugh at the problems, but it was still a very flawed movie, and not very memorable.How could they make it better? I see two ways of fixing the issues with this movie. The first way would be to up the budget, get better special effects, actors, editors, and writers. The writers need to make the characters interesting. They also can't refer to it as a black hole. If a black hole spawned on earth our entire planet and solar system wouldn't last three seconds, let alone ninety minutes.My other idea to fix this mess would be to make it campy. Have the scientists use stupid alternatives that somehow work. fill the movie with one liners. make the special effects over the top and even more ridiculous. In other words, make me laugh. This movie is so serious and is uninteresting. It's as if the writers had the time to write a script, but not the time to go over it again. If you thought Michael Bay was good, but he needed less skimpily dressed women, and a lower budget than this movie is for you.

*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.
