Not bad, not bad at all.

Rating: 7/10 (28 September 2009)

Pitch Black starts out exciting, stays mysterious almost the whole time and delivers a surprising and conclusive ending.
It tells about a space ship that crashes on a planet. Three suns constantly shine down on it's surface, making it a planet of never-ending daylight. The survivors of the crash make it to a base where they find out that something's not right about this place. When a few strange murders take place, the crew starts to get suspicious. It seems that strange, hostile creatures dwell deep in the caves below the surface. They cannot survive in daylight, thankfully. But then something becomes clear that will put the whole cast in great danger...
I really liked this movie. It pulled me in right at the start and I was glued to the screen the whole time.
There's great acting, good characters, good effects, well-directed scenes and dialog and a nicely-paced script. There aren't any insignificant scenes.
When you go watch this, take extra note of the character Riddick. He's one of the most bad-ass characters I have seen in any movie the past few months. You really start to cheer for him as you progress through the movie. Strange how that works, doesn't it? Pitch Black is a great movie. I recommend it for sci-fi/thriller fans.
7 out of 10 stars.
