The glorious three percent

Rating: 10/10 (27 January 2007)

97% of all sci-fi is pure crap, but that 3% is what I live for. Pitch Black falls into the later grouping, and is one of the best sci-fi movies made. It's all about character or if convincing enough lack of character. Expecting the run-of-the-mill alien world survival story, I was very elated that it exceeding my expectations. Fry(Rhada Mitchelle) as a very self centered(you can't blame her) cargo pilot thrust into a position of authority wrongly accused of doing her best to save lives. Cole Hauser as a Bounty Hunter with no concern for anything but his cut and his drugs. Vin Diesel as a very cool and dangerous killer with little interest in anything else besides his survival. Vin Diesel is the highlight of this movie, with a complex character. He does an outstanding job and exceeds expectations. This was the role he was made for. Excellent movie for anyone-Except maybe little kids, but hell I probably would have loved this movie as a kid.
