Stunning visuals aren't enough to help this film

Rating: 4/10 (24 February 2000)

One word can sum up my "Pitch Black" experience at the movies this past weekend. Dreadful. This movie suffers from a severe lack of talented actors/actresses and the script seems to have been written by a 9th grader with a potty mouth. The only thing that saves this film is the visuals. The landscapes, ships, and other planets all look amazing. The biggest treat here is the aliens themselves. Unfortunately they don't get enough screen time. The movie's not a total loss, but USA Films should stick to their tv movies (which still suck, but at least you don't have to pay to see them).
