The Void

Okay, its got no budget, that said. Its pretty dang impressive. The chemistry between Amanda Tapping and Adrian Paul is endearing and believable. Their scenes together are utterly believable, and okay yeah the black hole doesn't actually appear until the last ten minutes or so of the flick and it's pretty silly but hey its a low budget flick, I mean if you pay attention there's only like three locations. That said, its a lot of fun, well worth renting or buying if its under $10. Plus for any Adrian Paul fans its well worth it as he has numerous entertaining one liners. So don't go into it expecting Armageddon and you're good to go. And Amanda Tapping has a great line, "I guess that's what you get when you build a relationship on sex and tuna fish sandwiches".

I 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.

There's no black hole sucking down a city street as depicted on the video box cover, so let's dismiss that from the start. There's something sort of like that in the floor of a laboratory.

As it starts, a particle accelerator lab is doing an experiment that its chief does not approve of, but which the physicist played by Malcolm McDowell has somehow pulled rank and gotten through - though he is 5,000 miles away. Lucky for him he wasn't there, too, since everybody dies.

Years later, he's up to the same thing, expecting it to work this time (he's actually on site). The daughter of the chief who died in the previous experiment hopes to find proof of what happened, and learns it's about to happen again, only worse.

It's not a bad movie, though overlong. I thought on its apparent budget it did make good use of special effects. Not worth seeking out, though, unless you're a particular fan of any of the lead actors.

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

I would like to see this idea or movie redone with a budget and some decent special effects.

Lets start on a positive note..Adrian Paul and Malcom McDowell are as always very charismatic and take there rolls pretty seriously.

The story is cool...endless energy but at what cost or risk.

The fact that there is some "hardball players" but no real evil characters is sort of a nice change.Just people doing whatever it takes to accomplish what they believe in. So that is the gist of the movie without telling you what it is about.

The effects a few and far between and this movie does not cut in as a drama...so I do not recommend it in-spite of some decent acting.
