Pretty good science fiction film. (spoilers)

Rating: Null/10 (16 June 2001)

Pitch Black is a pretty good science fiction movie. It has a pretty good premise and the acting is well done. Vin Diesel is great in this movie. He plays a convicted murderer who doesn't give a damn about anything or anyone. His character is a little off his rocker and that just adds to the appeal of the character. Special effects are great in this movie. The various species of meat eating aliens in the movie are well done. They don't look like CGI creatures at all they look totally real. One good scene is when Vin's character fights a creature hand to hand. If you are going to be attacked by aliens it's always a good idea to have a psychopathic killer on your side!
Now, for the bad part. There are a few clichÃ©s in the movie. One is the religious zealot who thinks his God will save them. Another is the crewmember who wants to sell everyone out to save his own hide. I won't say who it is but it's probably not whom you think.
If you like science fiction you will probably like this movie. It's not up there with Aliens but it's worth a look
