Explosive, Action Packed Sci-Fi Thriller

Rating: 10/10 (10 October 2000)

From the opening sequence of this film you know it's going to be very different from anything you have previously viewed. You are taken on a rollercoaster ride of human emotions. It has everything, from religion to winged creatures of the night. It was interesting to find a myriad of one liners in this film that actually make you laugh out loud.
All the characters are well defined but the jewel in Pitch Black's crown is Richard B Riddick played by the multi-talented Vin Diesel. It is his portrayal of the pre-judged and mis-understood convict that leaves the biggest impact on the viewer. Even when he is not in camera shot you can feel Riddick's presence. He commands the audience with his powerful on screen magnetism and you can hear a pin drop in the theatre when he is speaking.
A great support cast of both US and Australian actors round out this amazing film. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
