The Black Hole Fun Facts
The Black Hole is named after the 1967 hit song Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden, which has become a cultural reference for its mysterious vibe, even though the song itself isn’t about the astronomical phenomenon.
The Black Hole has the power to distort time and space so dramatically that if you were to fall into one, you could experience time passage much slower than someone outside, leading to a phenomenon known as gravitational time dilation.

Watched this in theaters. Was a fun popcorn movie. I didn't like it as much as the first movie though. The nostalgia moments are a lot of fun for me, but the first movie had a ton of those too.
I need to rewatch this and see if it moves from a like to a favorite for me. I forget about it, see it mentioned, and remember that it was way better than I thought it was going to be. This is a great one to watch if you haven't yet.
Finally got to see this in theaters - it's a lovely movie. One of the higher quality family-friendly sci fi movies in a LONG time. The part I liked least about the book was the humor - movie was the same. Which speaks to how good the adaptation was.
