Good idea, bad work

Rating: 3/10 (21 February 2000)

Pitch Black is a good example of a movie with a good idea but was down poorly. It has all the elements of a excellent movie, but it was down so half-assed that it ruins the movie-going experience. I was extremely dissappointed with Pitch Black. The special effects were astounding, but they weren't good enough to mask the emotionless and static acting performances. This movie could have been great if only it was directed by someone with a little more experience in the genre. It's a little sad to think that a film with so much potential could have been an excellent movie if it was directed by someone else.
