Great special effects, mediocre plot.

Rating: 7/10 (18 February 2000)

Pitch Black starts out on a positive note with awesome special effects. It takes several simple undeveloped characters onto a dead planet inhabited only by quick creatures of the night. Though the plot has much to be desired and isn't much different than the typical horror/suspense/sci fi movie (i.e. Deep Blue Sea), it still comes across as a watchable entertaining movie. It is well worth watching as long as you are not expecting much, and you thoroughly enjoy mind blowing special effects.
