Well, the pacing is a bit sloppy, the acting is flat, and there are a couple of shocking "deus ex machina" moments towards the end, but boy, this has a proper BIG spaceship with BIG engines!
The spaceship "Cygnus", poised on the edge of a black hole, is a pretty unique and visually interesting creation, detailed and convincingly engineered. The hole itself is quite well visualised too. Unfortunately the smaller "Palomino" spaceship looks a lot like a tin can, but that's just the entree.
Sure, it was created to cash-in on Star Wars but the plot, visuals and ideas are quite different. "The Black Hole" is it's own film, not a straight copy.
Definitely worth a look for science fiction fans. Not a lot in it for others.
