Owing a major debt to Alien and its cinematic spawn, Pitch Black is a guilty pleasure that surpasses expectations. As he did with The Arrival, director David Twohy revitalizes a derivative story, allowing you to forgive its flaws and submit to its visceral thrills. Under casual scrutiny, the plot's logic crumbles like a stale cookie, but it's definitely fun while it lasts.
A spaceship crashes on a desert planet scorched under three suns. The mostly doomed survivors include a resourceful captain (Radha Mitchell), a drug-addled cop (Cole Hauser), and a deadly prisoner (Vin Diesel) who quickly escapes. These clashing personalities discover that the planet is plunging into the darkness of an extended eclipse, and it's populated by hordes of ravenous, razor-fanged beasties that only come out at night. The body count rises, and Pitch Black settles into familiar sci-fi territory.
What sets the movie apart is Twohy's developing visual style, suggesting that this veteran of B-movie schlock may advance to the big leagues. Like the makers of The Blair Witch Project, Twohy understands the frightening power of suggestion; his hungry monsters are better heard than seen (although once seen, they're chillingly effective), and Pitch Black gets full value from moments of genuine panic. Best of all, Twohy's got a well-matched cast, with Mitchell (so memorable with Ally Sheedy in High Art) and Diesel (Pvt. Caparzo from Saving Private Ryan) being the standouts. The latter makes the most of his muscle-man role, and his character's development is one more reason this movie works better than it should. --Jeff Shannon

When I bought this dvd, I gave it to someone and couldn't see it myself. But I was told that this is pretty interesting movie, you might be interested. I can't say much but you need just to try, it's not that expensive and you'll see it yourself.

The space transport vessel "Hunter-Gratzner" carrying 40 people on-board crashes on a desert planet when the ship is struck in a meteor storm. There are only 10 survivors, among them are pilot Carolyn Fry, who has assumed command after the ship's captain is killed, bounty hunter William J. Johns, religious man Abu "Imam" al-Walid, Antiques dealer Paris P. Ogilvie, runaway teenage girl Jack, settlers John 'Zeke' Ezekiel and his lover Sharon 'Shazza' Montgomery and Richard B. Riddick, a dangerous escaped ... Read More

David Twohy's follow-up to '96's The Arrival is one of grave circumstances and underappreciated symbolism. After sustaining heavy damage from a meteor storm, a spacecraft transporting numerous people crashes on a hot, desolate planet. Once the sunlight fades into darkness, however, the survivors of the crash become prey to a species of flying, nocturnal alien, against which there is only one chance for their survival: Riddick (Vin Diesel), a convicted murderer who was being moved by their craft to a far ...

Why would anyone purchase this Blu-ray 2 pack of Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick? The SRP is $59.98 and, as of this writing, it's on sale for $31.49. On the same page is a link to the individual titles. Pitch Black on Blu-ray SRPs for $26.98 and is on sale for $13.49. The Chronicles of Riddick on Blu-ray SRPs for $26.98 and is on sale for $12.49. Isn't the purpose of bundling titles together to sell them at a lower price than if you purchased them separately? It makes you wonder about the quality ... Read More

Pitch Black players perfectly, but for some reason Chronicles is still terrible in this set. Most of the reviews I saw for this product were from almost a 7 months ago and this set still is having the same problem. Basically the Chronicles disc freezes up about 14 mins in and then jumps 4 mins forward and won't even allow for you to rewind from there. What the heck? So much for QA testing. Amazon needs to stop offering this set since this is clearly still a problem.
