Vin Diesel-good; Pitch Black-bad

Rating: Null/10 (2 June 2001)

I rented this movie because I love Vin Diesel. I think he is one of the most talented actors out there. Well I read some of the user comments on Pitch Black, and since they were mostly positive, I went out and rented it. I watched it with my brother, and we both agreed that it was an absolutely terrible movie. It makes no sense. **SPOILER** One character is a closet morphine addict for no apparent reason, one pretends to be a boy while really being a girl for no reason, scientifically none of it makes sense,etc. **SPOILER** The acting was awful. The stereotypical Arab-type characters were almost offensive. Vin Diesel was, as usual, superb; he was the one shining light (pun intended) in the film. The aliens looked really fake and dumb. A mind-numbing experience. I give it 2 stars, and those are for Vin.
