Left me numb and disappointed

Rating: 7/10 (25 February 2000)

True to the previews, "Pitch Black" had seconds of startling, "night filled with monsters", viewing as a crash-landed group of cast-aways struggle for survival on a heat soaked planet that is part of a solar system in a Trinary Star system (no...I never heard that Binarys and Trinarys couldn't support planets due to the gravitational tension). Forget the massive coincidences (that shall remain nameless) and forget the two-dimensional crew and just focus on creatures that seem to be the ONLY food chain, that fear sunlight, that know, during an eclipse, when to hoard enmass and when to give our heroes a break when the plot-line seems to need it. I won't take away from those of you that enjoyed this little "screacher", but for me, I was left numb and disappointed.
