One of the greatest movies ever made...

Rating: 10/10 (23 October 2000)

Let me start off by saying...I saw the trailer for this film when it was broadcast on the SUPER BOWL and I thought (OK, another movie wanting publicity and noone will watch it.) Well when I heard from relatives that it was a great sci-fi/thriller I thought what the hell...I'll spend $10 and me and my girl can either be highly horrified or we can laugh our butts off!!! Well, I went to see the film and it was not one of the best sci-fi/thrillers ever made..IT WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST FILMS EVER MADE!!!! This film has it all: Horror, thrills, action, a great story, comedy, and VIN DIESEL...I saw the man play Chris in "Boiler Room" and I thought the man had terrific talent..As soon as I heard Riddick's voiceover in the beginning of the film I thought (This was $10 well spent). And when the film was over..I had a tear in my eye..(which is uncommon for a film) but I am not gonna spoil anything. I hear people say this film rips off "Alien"..I DON'T THINK SO.."Pitch Black" actually had characters in it and the monsters were at least seen in this film. "Alien" basically only had one character-THE ALIEN!!! I hope everyone goes to their local video shop today and picks up a copy of "Pitch Black"...you WILL NOT be disappointed. As an aspiring actor..I hope sometime in my career I get an engrossing script such as "Pitch Black", and I hope I get the chance to work with Vin sometime in my career.
