I wouldn't bet against it.

Its called karma

@@louisanthes Actually no, Event Horizon also featured the idea that Hell was inside the Black Hole. But that was Paramount instead of Disney.

Have you seen my eyes.???

@@bartleygerba In Disney’s Black Hole, you don’t need eyes or a brain to live…

Visually it's good and the main villains good.

D'oh!

@@augusthawks6576 That kill's me every time I read it.

God that's good

R.i.p. herr Shell

I never thought of it like that. Good one, dude.

Bro didn’t you watch the video? You end up as a robot in hell. Hello?

No real sci-fi film quite like this

Who is evil there ?

I love it when that kind of stuff happens lol!

Yess!!! Such superb acting. What powerful delivery & characterization!!

If only he had not given that command, the Cygnus may have survived. The meteor storm was over mere moments later, yet the overloaded reactor and structural stresses from the engines running at maximum power after all the damage sustained spelled the demise of his ship.

Er... nothing coulda stopped that. Ya do realise how a blackhole behaves, right.

@@mikemoore2791 Considering what happened to the Probe Ship, in the universe this movie inhabits (which is obviously not real life) the Cygnus would have emerged on the other side the same way

@@mikemoore2791 Like a giant whirlpool in space!

I too imagined as a kid that the survivors made it back to Earth thanks to the angel.

Except they weren't in the "Palomino" at the end of the movie. They were in Reinhardt's Probe ship. The Palomino was destroyed by Reinhardt when Harry Booth tried to escape in it by himself, just before the Cygnus actually entered the black hole. Also supposedly, the "Angel" at the end was Dr. McCrae using her psychic ability (which they barely touched upon in the movie) to lead them through and home. Remember in the movie she used it to communicate with V.I.N.C.E.N.T. a couple of times. The book adaptation of the movie has a wealth of explanations in it and I also saw the movie three times the first week it came out. (and many multiple times since then) 👍 😁

I see it another way, the black hole is basically a allegory spiritual awakening for the crew of the Palimino , they went through the black hole which is a portal to go back home but they had to go through hell to see the light which is why you see a angelic being guiding them through the black hole .

@@godstomper I understood that angel figure to be dr Reinhard. My interpretation was that he got a glimpse of hell before he was ultimately sent to heaven.

Always thought of that sequence as Dr. Reinhardt's journey through the realms between/beyond time and space as we know it. Reinhardt was a religious man, a man who believed in God, but acted devilishly in his selfish pursuit of attaining his ultimate goal. The sequence begins with the camera focusing into the eyes of the only psychic character in the film. She witnesses him adrift in the tempests of broken matter for some ungodly amount of time, his hair whitened by the time he runs into Maximilian, who then takes possession of him within him to his own hell where Maximilian is now lord, and over the broken flaming remains of the Cygnus and the damned souls that live there, leaving him trapped and helpless to observe the horror beyond the prison of his own creation. Eventually, after an unknown time, he finds freedom, either at the merciful hands of the God he once worshiped, or because he finally relented all that was keeping him there and was finally free, his spirit flying into the true beyond and finally beyond the black hole. Also, the background to the film was that these spaceships were sent out to find another habitable world for humanity as Earth was either not enough or could no longer sustain life indefinitely. So them finding an earth-like world at the end was the completion of their mission and of all those other ships out there, including the Cygnus. Either through chance or maybe because a repentant Reinhardt helped guide their vessel at the end. Just an interpretation.

@@Yeet_Tsavo Interesting.

We don’t know. All we know is that they came somewhere else in space, literally accomplishing what Reinhardt was thinking of, only Reinhardt ended up in Hell

Kinda postulates that black holes could be wormholes or dimensional portals.

It was a representation of what the soul witnessed & experienced while the body was traveling through the black hole's crushing reality-warping singularity, but I totally get how that would have flown over people's heads & made them laugh heh, poor guys.

@@tubefan10 ......it was a stupid ending, just tacked on, because they had written themselves into a corner....the whole theater was laffing at it.

Laughing at seeing a whole crew of people burning in hell... wow, what a good group of people in the theater that day....

Just like the ending of 2001: A Space Odyssey ... people left the theater wondering what they just saw. And it was meant to leave one thinking, not answer any age old questions. Also, the movie was never meant to be scientifically accurate, it was based on the general knowledge that the public had about Black Holes back in the 70's. It was meant to be Entertaining, not Educational. At the time, it was quite impressive to most movie-goers. (including myself)

@@David_B_Dornburg When a black hole was referred to as a quasar in the 1970s[There is a black hole behind every quasar, but not every black hole is a quasar.]. Some ask why the flyby of Pluto wasn't a slow down and orbit. And in 2021 some ask why, can't we have a 'clearer pic' of the accretion disk. People in the 80s and 90s weren't about to watch B&W Olympic satellite video bounced from a Telstar. This layperson is still unpacking Interstellar's visual representation. Or what Michael Caine's character, Professor Brand, is half owning up to about through the blubbering. People don't get the Calculus right away. I've lost it again. And Mathematica use doesn't magically reel it back in.
