Pitch Black

[Lorelei]

I just watched the movie Pitch Black after a recommendation from my daughter. That was an interesting movie. There weren't any big names in it, but yet it was well done. It's a sci-fi thriller. These people are traveling thru space and end up crash landing on this planet. Conflict comes from a murderous prisoner on board (with special eyes that can see in the dark). The plot thickens as the survivors discover that the planet hides even more danger in the dark. The directing was well done. The eerie "bleached out" appearance of colors made you think of what it might be like to have three suns instead of one shining on your planet. A scene with the rising moon and its rings is spectacular. It's not a movie to watch with the kids. It's pretty scary. In fact, I had a nightmare after watching it that night. But, still I recommend it if you like sci-fi or thrillers.

I also enjoyed the movie. The actors were excellent, the story interesting, and the production creative.

I viewed the DVD version which included some interesting extra features.

I didn't know that the Chronicles of Riddick was a sequel to Pitch Black. I heard my son and husband talk about the movie. In fact, I think they went to see it together, but nobody included Mom in that conversation. They think I only like watching foreign films or dramas. I usually don't enjoy the action movies they like. But if an action movie is done well, then I'll usually be willing to give it a try.
