Summary: Amanda is beautiful, but this movie is not
Review: First, just to make it clear to those thousands and thousands globally who see an R-rated movie starring Amanda Tapping and expect to see more of her than usual, the answer is yes and no. The shots that merited an "R" use a body-double who is listed in the credits and is not artfully edited into the scene.

Second, expecting an understandable plot about "black hole" physics is asking a lot more than a 90-minute made-for-TV (?) can deliver. Still, it moves along as well as can be expected and gives a somewhat different Amanda than appears on Stargate SG-1.

Disappointments include the effects, which appear cheap, and the music, which comes off cheaper.

All that said, as an AT fan, I'm glad I bought the movie. Adrian Paul comes off well and Malcom McDowell again plays a villian, although not an entirely unsympathetic one.

I just wish to see Amanda Tapping in a better film in addition to the oft-discussed Stargate SG-1 feature.

Summary: I liked it.
Review: I just saw this movie on WGN superstation from chicgo,Ill. I liked it it was interesting and fun.Well my family are fans of sci-fi anyway.DR.Who,Stargate SG-1tv show,Highlander Movies and TV shows,The Tribe any way you get the picture. Amanda Tapping and Adrian Paul in the same movie together they were great a lot of fun. Very edge of the seat stuff. Shades of Dr.Quartermass 5 million miles to earth you didn't know what would happen next. p.s. The First thing I saw Amanda Tapping in and I think it was her first credited role in film/TV. Is an episode in the second season of Due South with Paul Gross and David Marciano. The title of the episode No.33 is Starman (or as many of you who have allready seen it on tv might gess CALLING ALL OCCUPENTS of INTERPLANTARY CRAFT.)Amanda Tapping is a scientest who disappers after being proposed to by a travel tour bus guy who tours theretical U.F.O. sights. A lot of fun SEE IT. Thank you Happy New Year 2004!

Summary: This movie will suck you into a void!
Review: I think that this movie is more suited for the Lifetime Channel because the movie concentrates more on Amanda Tapping's personal love life than it does on the "black hole" problem that the characters in the movie face. OK, the movie features two very good-looking characters, played by Tapping and Adrian "Highlander" Paul, but "The Void" feels more like 90 hours than 90 minutes long. I gave it two stars because it has Malcolm Macdowall, who always plays a great villian. However, you should avoid this movie at all costs.

Summary: The Void
Review: The only reason I bought this movie was because I am a devoted AT fan and was not disappointed with her performance at all. She sucessfully pulls off a seemingly stagnant role without imitating her alter ego Samantha Carter. It was refreshing to see her in a new role.

The movie was fairly good but not fantastic. One that you can only see once or twice. Malcolm McDowell was great, as per usual and Adrian Paul was good. Overall, an unbelievable and unrealistic movie but perfect for that sci-fi junkie.

The plot outcome was predictable but that didn't stop a little angst seeping through. Not edge-of-your-seat but good enough. Almost cliched but good enough performances make it acceptable. However, partly ignre the blurb on the back because I doesn't quite make sense. Who is Kat Hicks?

FYO - In the second sex scene the raunchy parts are actually a body double, not Amanda Tapping, called Miranda Hermanson. Also, for those SG-1 fans, note Dan Shea's name in the credits.

Summary: "The Void" not devoid of entertainment value
Review: While I originally watched the movie because I enjoy Amanda Tapping on Stargate SG-1, I was pleasantly surprised. The plot is pretty typical: Will anyone ever invent an alternate energy source that doesn't threaten to blow up the earth?

Though Adrian Paul isn't overly believable as a nerd, with or without glasses, that doesn't take too much away from the overall enjoyment of the movie. Tapping does a pretty good job of playing her save-the-world-scientist character differently from her Stargate SG-1 Major Carter. The two are fairly believable as a couple. Malcolm McDowell gives a standard performance as Adrian Paul's boss, the guy Tapping suspects is responsible for her father's death.

The movie has almost as much violence as one of Adrian Paul's "Highlander" movies, and even a little sex, if you like that sort of thing.
