Description of Pitch Black [Blu-ray]:
Owing a major debt to Alien and its cinematic spawn, Pitch Black is a guilty pleasure that surpasses expectations. As he did with The Arrival, director David Twohy revitalizes a derivative story, allowing you to forgive its flaws and submit to its visceral thrills. Under casual scrutiny, the plot's logic crumbles like a stale cookie, but it's definitely fun while it lasts.

A spaceship crashes on a desert planet scorched under three suns. The mostly doomed survivors include a resourceful captain (Radha Mitchell), a drug-addled cop (Cole Hauser), and a deadly prisoner (Vin Diesel) who quickly escapes. These clashing personalities discover that the planet is plunging into the darkness of an extended eclipse, and it's populated by hordes of ravenous, razor-fanged beasties that only come out at night. The body count rises, and Pitch Black settles into familiar sci-fi territory.

What sets the movie apart is Twohy's developing visual style, suggesting that this veteran of B-movie schlock may advance to the big leagues. Like the makers of The Blair Witch Project, Twohy understands the frightening power of suggestion; his hungry monsters are better heard than seen (although once seen, they're chillingly effective), and Pitch Black gets full value from moments of genuine panic. Best of all, Twohy's got a well-matched cast, with Mitchell (so memorable with Ally Sheedy in High Art) and Diesel (Pvt. Caparzo from Saving Private Ryan) being the standouts. The latter makes the most of his muscle-man role, and his character's development is one more reason this movie works better than it should. --Jeff Shannon

Pitch Black [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Buy the regular version of this DVD
2009-11-16 - The quality of this Blu Ray DVD was not so great. This movie was so-so. I personally liked the Chronicles of Riddick better. So I would recommend buying the regular DVD if you really liked this movie.

Very slick sci-fi.
2009-11-15 - I love this movie. Too bad in the sequel (and video game) they deviated from the original concept of Riddick being an anti-hero badass from some space ghetto to being a supernaturally powered alien(?) from furia or wherever. Sequel is still fun, but this movie is where it's at.

Pitch Black
2009-10-17 - This is Vin Diesel best movie this is what got him started this was so good that everything else he put out doesnt compare. A little about the movie... a crew is travelling when all of a sudden the captains on the ship are awaken to their space ship falling apart and are forced to land on a mysterious planet where there are creatures that only come out at night and the planet is about to go dark and then mayhem occurs this movie rocks!
