A great movie

Rating: 8/10 (14 March 2001)

This was relatively unknown movie in Finland. I don't think it has even been released on the big screen in Finland. So I didn't have much expectations on this movie when I rented the video. (Couldn't find the DVD).
As you can expect from the summary I liked the movie a lot. Pitch Black has a couple of things that makes it stand out. The movie has a great story (although it reminds a bit the Alien and Aliens). There are a few surprises in the plot. Directing and special effects are great (The night vision shots looked fabulous). Cinematography was great too with its blue, yellow and black colors. Atmosphere in the movie is tense throughout the movie.
Acting isn't anything special, but everyone does his/her job. Only Vin Diesel as the murderer stands out. I guess he had that natural bad boy attitude. The cast was unknown, which made you wonder, who is going to die next (Big stars are always heroes).
9/10
