Title relating to character traits.

Rating: Null/10 (6 February 2002)

The title of Pitch Black is really right on the nose as far as the situation that the passengers of the ship find themselves in. This movie could just as easily have been called In The Dark as well because not only do these people find themselves dealing with the obvious demons in the dark, they deal with their own demons and fears on a personal basis as well. No one is entirely sure who is capable of what and (without giving anything away) who is capable of surprising even themselves in the end.
I completely enjoyed this movie because not only does it keep your attention with it's pace, it is not overly gory and leaves quite a bit to your imagination. I also left the theater thinking that maybe you can't judge people by what they have done (or are capable of doing) but rather if you put a little faith in them and yourself, you just might be surprised. Besides, if sci-fi isn't your cup of tea girls, Vin Diesel is just pure eye candy with a lot of talent.
