I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Highly Overrated But Still Good
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
I am sure that "The Void" ended up angering a lot of B movie fans when it was first released on video. You had that title, along with video box art that seemed to promise it would be filled with action and special effects. Plus, the movie boasted in its cast TV action star Adrian Paul and cult movie legend Malcolm McDowell.But for the most part, the movie seems to be avoiding doing anything that would entertain its audience. For the first hour of the movie, I estimate that there is no more than five minutes of stuff that would be considered entertaining. For almost the entire first hour, the movie is devoted to talk - boring, pseudo-scientific talk that will have viewers wriggling in their seats and wonder what they got themselves into.I will admit that in the last half hour of the movie, things pick up considerably. I wouldn't say that the action and special effects that happen are anywhere near first rate, but they are a relief to see after that incredibly boring first hour.To sum up, "The Void" was the wrong title for this movie. They should have got rid of the "The", and placed an "A" directly in front of the "Void" to have an accurate one-word title that would clearly tell viewers how they should treat this movie should they come across it.
I watched this movie only because Amanda Tapping was cast in it. Although she did show great acting skill and proved beyond a doubt that she is NOT a bimbo, I was disappointed by the obvious use of a body double for the brief nude scenes. I hope Amanda will get an opportunity to star in a higher budget movie soon and that she will not be so shy about nudity. From a scientific standpoint, this was a plausible movie. From a point of reality it is a bit foolish. For example, when they are both tied to chairs and expecting to be executed, the dialogue and behavior seemed unreal. Amanda's character showed conviction and perseverance to show the data error, but then surrendered so easily when captured. Just not consistent behavior for the character. This movie is a must see for all Star gate fans, as the movie does prove Amanda's acting skills.
The 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.
"eat, 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."A whole in the wall? "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."The Black Hole, by Walt Disney Pictures, starred Maximillian Schell, not Max Von Sydow.Thank you for playing, though...
