Vin Diesel. Need I say more?

Rating: 8/10 (13 March 2000)

Pitch Black wasn't what I expected, but that's not a bad thing. It was actually as good as I expected, but in a different way. There were, of course, a couple of cheesy lines, but I think that's kind of tradition in horror and sci-fi flicks now anyway, isn't it? Other than that, the special effects were, no doubt, superb and the cinematography and camera angles were fabulous. The beginning starts out the way I think ALL sci-fi movies should start out. PURE ACTION! I can see how some people MAY not like this movie, but I can also say that I thought it was excellent. I know it's sometimes hard to go by what other people say because everyone has different tastes, but if you are un-sure, then at least go to see it at the discount theater. I don't think it will be AS good if you wait for video, but you won't be disappointed either. I just think this is definitely a big screen movie. Vin Diesel is going to be big (as an actor). I think he really brought the movie together.
