When their ship crash-lands on a remote planet, the marooned passengers soon learn that escaped convict Riddick 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.

Too bad Vin Diesel didn't get more roles like this where he could show off his much-eese-moe without much cheesy dialogue and enough tough-guy-ness to make the movie action enjoyable. I look forward to getting this rental, if it ever comes. That's what makes this service sad in my opinion is not being able to watch what you want when you want it, talk about false advertising.Pitch Black - AppsScraps
A film built on the back of its predecessors, Pitch Black roots itself on the whatever-can-go-wrong-will-go-wrong vein of alien movie-making. Cue spacecraft on deep space mission. Cue crew on said spacecraft in hibernation. Cue one member of the crew actually a mean prisoner who should have been executed eons ago. Cue children. Cue crash landing of said spacecraft on creepy planet with too many suns and a perpetual Saharan look. And, of course, cue alien wasplike creatures that are hungry for them all when the suns finally drop below the horizon and plunge our actors in Pitch Black. Directed by David Twohy, the film is essentially a vehicle for Vin Diesel (as bad guy with no morals or heart Richard Riddick) and - frankly - it all works well. Diesel is good going about his duties and the film uses light and dark and shadow perfectly. While the character development pales|fails (take your pick), there is enough suspense and alien creepiness to make even the die hard tough guy turn on a light to rid themselves of the black.
My rating 7 out of 10.a classsic - addictedtomovies
I have probably seen this movie about five times now and it still is such a good movie. For all those action sci-fi geeks it is an unusual movie with good special effects. Even though it is a few years old now, the effects are still quite up to todays standards. I think it will be one of those movies that stays around like Aliens or the Abyss. If you have not seen it, I would recommend. Unusual storyline and pretty good acting.
