Ignore the naysayers

Rating: Null/10 (2 May 2003)

Listen people. This movie is excellent, hands m-f'ing down. I cannot even comprehend the reasons some people are giving for not seeing it.
-"Pitch Black is 'overdirected'. Man, I've never heard this one: points for creativity there. You're bashing the director for giving us creature vision. For god's sake, he only does it 3 times, and nowhere near to the effect of Daredevil or Predator. Basically, you are saying that the director should sit passively by, with his thumb up his crack, and leave out special effects in a SCIENCE FICTION MOVIE. Are you looking for something innovative? Maybe like, showing us crotch cams every 30 seconds just so they could be first?
Now, I know that not everyone will agree on whether this movie is above-par for the genre or not. Just go into it with open eyes, and push away your bias and pointless criticism. I swear to you I could pick apart any movie out there based on minor unimportant details and use that as my sole argument for it sucking - but that just doesn't cut it.

This movie is very formula in some parts. It is when it breaks tradition that it gets noticed. It mixes the psychology into the action so well and SO subtlely, that it never forces it's theme down your throat. What is the theme? Redemption.
9/10
