Description

When their ship crash-lands on a remote planet, the marooned passengers soon learn that escaped convict Riddick (Vin Diesel) isn't the only thing they have to fear. Deadly creatures lurk in the shadows, waiting to attack in the dark, and the planet is rapidly plunging into the utter blackness of a total eclipse. With the body count rising, the doomed survivors are forced to turn to Riddick with his eerie eyes to guide them through the darkness to safety. With time running out, there's only one rule: Stay in the light. Pitch Black is the original sci-fi hit that introduced the world to the character of Riddick, the ultimate anti-hero. Take a ride on the pulse-pounding adrenaline rush that USA Today calls "the best excuse to root for the bad guy since Arnold in the original Terminator."

    I actually thought this was pretty good overall. Also, in my opinion Vin Diesel did a fantastic job as Riddick.

    With such a limited number of characters is such a dangerous situation, it's important that you get to know the main characters quickly, and Pitch Black does that, but then the subtlety begins. There's a back story here that you never get to hear, but the hint of it adds an air of psychological mystery to this low-budget, sci fi thriller that pushes it, IMO, from B to E-xcellent! Even the planet has its secrets. Some details are revealed, some are left to tickle your imagination, but none should prevent you from enjoying the action. RE: Mr. Diesel. I'm not one to watch a movie just to see muscles flex. I'd rather have a good story with interesting characters, and I thought this one delivered. The muscles were, however, a nice bonus ;). Vin Diesel does a singular job portraying Riddick, and this movie is among my favorites for those centered on character rather than sets. My only complaint is the unnecessary number of F-bombs. The movie would have been far more enjoyable if such language had been used sparingly to add impact to the appropriate scenes rather than liberally sprinkled throughout to ensure an R rating.

    This is where I fell in love with this character and stayed with him. Please come back for revenge on "Sam" and the praying man. Sorry, I can not spell the name.

    This is a really fresh sci fi story and one of my favorites. Vin Diesel plays a really good villian who is not so bad. The whole premise of the movies explores a planet that is not earth like and very different in the evolution of it's creatures. I also recommend the chronicles of Riddick. If your a sci fi fan at least rent these and see them once.

    Vin diesel was amazing this movie. I hate horror movies but it was amazing! The creatures whistles were so deliciously freaky. I loved it from start to finish.
