Back in the year 2000, before Vin Diesel exploded into worldwide superstardom with all those car movies, he did a mid-budget B-movie sci-fi oddity called Pitch Black. It’s sort of like if someone remade Aliens with Snake Plissken as the main character, but definitely not as cool as a movie with that description. Oh don’t get us wrong… it has moments of pure fun, to be sure,and it is made well. Faint praise, to be sure. However, it knows exactly what it is at every step of the way, and that is most deserving of our faint praise. Is it an ageless classic? No, but it did somehow spawn several sequels and video games, which is way more than most films of this ilk can say. Pitch Black is a good way to kill 90 minutes, and it will certainly leave you entertained. What more do you want?
