A crippled spaceship lands on a planet with three suns that only experiences darkness once every 22 years, things come out in the dark, and the crew must fight for survival, or die - that pretty much sums up "Pitch Black". The concept of a planet bathed in (almost) continuous light was the premise of Asimov's classic short story "Nightfall", but rather than being our own worst enemy, the "Pitch Black" planet is home to fierce, flying nocturnal carnivores. As space adventures go, this one is pretty good. The look of the glaringly illuminated desert planet is very well done and the various backgrounds (the bone filled canyon and the hollow towers for example) look great. The acting is what one would expect for this kind of movie, lots of gruff tough-guy posturing, semi-comic relief from the less-heroic characters, and the usual alien-chow that only live long enough to establish the threat. Vin Diesel's 'Riddick' character was so popular that he front-lined a couple of less-than-stellar 'sequels', but I didn't find that he was any more interesting that the rest of the main cast. Of course, the raison d'etre for this kind of film are the aliens, which, although usually only seen briefly, in the shadows, or through Riddick's enhanced eyes, are excellent. The plot does hang on some coincidences such as the crash occurring just hours before one of the rare eclipses and the abandoned geology base having an orrery (a somewhat archaic tool for an interplanetary mission) that conveniently explains the whole three-sun eclipse scenario, but those are minor problems in an otherwise pretty good story.

This a great movie. It very scary. It is scarier then Alien and that is not easy to do. This movie has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. 7.1 is a good ratting. But this is such a great movie that 7.1 is underrating this underrating this movie. This is a 10 not a 7.1. This is scarier then The Exorcist and that is not easy to do. This is scarier then A Nightmare on elm street and that is not easy to do. This is scarier then Halloween and that is not easy to do. This is one the scariest movie I have seen. This is movie. It has a great movie. It is one the scariest movies I have seen.

Plot; A ship crash lands on a planet where deadly, night roaming creatures may not be the greatest threat.There are several elements that keep Pitch Black from being just another in a long line of Alien knockoffs, but the strongest of these is the character of Riddick. Vin Diesel may have the range of a spitball, but when it's in his wheelhouse he can crush it, as he does here. His Riddick is more than just an antihero, he's the straw that stirs the drink. Riddick is surrounded by some strong characters, all with satisfying arcs and little sections of turf to call their own. The film itself is tight and lean, with no wasted motion. The f/x are shoddy at times, but that's to be expected from a low budget sci-fi/horror film from the early 00's. What really matters is the execution, and here it's nearly pitch perfect.

Loved the movie. The two leads did a heck of a job to carry the movie. Captivating story and great execution. The best bits of the movie in order are 1. Vin Diesel: I don't think I have seen him pre-Fast Furious franchise but if this is his prowess then FF have absolutely not utilized his skills. The shoulder dislocating scene alone..! (some effects were used, but it was real). His portrayal of a psychopath is really good. 2. the Imagery. LOVED IT. The colours, the lighting, the negative scenes, all really good. The aliens themselves could have been better but hey. 3. The soundtrack keeps a good pace with the movie. Overall, totally enjoyable.
