They could've made the film a bit more interesting if they showed more action, as it was they did leave it a bit late and didn't put much in and therefore lost out in a way.Although some major sci-fi fans maybe disappointed by not seeing the actual black hole for very long the rest of the film is really good.This type of storyline has been used many times before but even so I found the film interesting from start to finish.Amanda Tapping (Stargate's Major Samantha Carter) is a favourite of mine and Malcolm McDowell is great as "the bad guy"I would recommend this film, I maybe easy to please but it's one of my favourites
... View MoreThe Void is a standard, formulaic movie that everybody has seen before. Some scientist, general, etc. wants to do something dangerous, the heroes try to stop them. The heroes sneak around; there is a cover up and conspiracy. The black whole element of the movie can be substituted with any other vaguely understood scientific principle- in no way is it essential to the plot that it has to be black holes.The acting, by the two somewhat known stars (Adrian Paul, Amanda Tapping) is in no way embarrassing (ok- maybe a little, when they are tied to chairs), just unremarkable as everything else in the movie. Skip this one unless you are really bored.
... View MoreOh, huh, sorry you woke me up.This movie sucked on all levels. If you went by the cover - you were turned down, if you went by the ideas - you were turned down, and if you went by the science - you were turned down.Great, make a movie about black holes and then don't really show one until the final minutes of the movie and then it's nothing but a whole in the wall sucking up everything in the room.If this movie had a bigger budget, maybe it would of been a lot more fun. Ms. Tapping was excellent, Adrian Paul was certainly very cute and funny in this movie. He had a lot of little one liners that I thought were just funny.Other than those two, the black hole effects were yawnnnnsish. I saw a better black hole in the movie black hole with Max Von Snydow.
... View MoreI basically watched this movie for Amanda Tapping. I'm a huge fan of her. And I wasn't disappointed. I agree with some of the other comments that the storyline was disappointing, but what Amanda did with her character was quite amazing especially considering what she's been given. While her character in some ways reminded me of her Stargate SG-1 character, she gave her a completely different behaviour and much more softness - surpassed Adrian Paul and Malcolm MacDowell by far. If you're a fan of her, rent/buy it now. At least that's my suggestion.
