This movie is on the borderline of mediocre. It is way better than The Chronicles of Riddick. The story is mediocre, the acting is decent and Vin Diesel is great, as always. The direction is very flat and the visuals are... Full review

This is one of my favorite sci-fi flicks. It features a good story, good acting, good SFX, etc. This film established Vin Diesel as a solid action anti-hero and his character made this movie as good as it is. He was... Full review

I loved this film because it shows how the comings and goings of Riddick first began. With many other sequels including the exact amount, including this one, four films, they are not official until you see the Chronicles of Riddick. In... Full review

In a time when movies all-too-often celebrate the triumph of weakness over strength, good over evil, Pitch Black slaps some reality into the face of the viewer, even in a sci-fi setting. Diesel delivers convincingly as Riddick, the convicted killer and... Full review

Slightly clichéd, it's still a cool sci-fi B-movie with a great gimmick and a charismatic star-making performance from Vin Diesel.....It remains a fun ride with absolutely no pretense about its B-movie thrills and action.....The director/cast commentary is, unsurprisingly, the more fun of the two..... ...

it's as if the film were afraid of taking itself to seriously....the result is a fairly efficient science fiction monster film, somewhat in the mold of an old 1950s B-movie.....In the film's perverse moral scheme, we're supposed to relate to Diesel's homicidal convict....The special effects are strong overall....with improved production values, special effects and performances..... ...

Pitch Black is really well made escapism, with an ending that may surprise you (for a studio picture).
What a shame, the movie is so good!

Radha Mitchell, who proved capable of carrying a stylish B-movie with the excellent Pitch Black , stars as Rose, a well-intentioned mom whose adopted daughter has some issues.
Sadly, when it comes to such fundamental things as story, character, dialogue, or plot, it falls completely apart.

With its photogenic stars, gorgeous scenery and skinny-dipping supermodels, writer/director David Pitch Black Twohy's sun-kissed serial-killer thriller should make for undemanding escapism. Not so.
