The Black Hole
Disney’s first PG-rated release tries to combine Star Wars and 2001 into one expensive but rather muddled package that doesn’t quite know which one it wants to be. Still, a seminal experience for many 1979 kids which has a dedicated cult following despite its mix of childishness and attempted profundity.
