Great film, 10 times better than anything i've ever done. Great work. 10/10

I don't see how this would teach kids about black holes. It is a film about basic morality with an interesting idea. With real black holes you would get sucked in completely even if you were far away for the centre

I've heard about black holes & how they swallow everything. This is a great "teaching tool" for science classes. It encourages both creativity & criminality--with the crime ultimately receiving punishment. It's a "morality story".
