   neo-john carpenter sci-fi survival western, vin diesel auteurist statement on why space barbarians and swimming goggles are awesome. exists in the same grimy genre nexus that event horizon does, stuffed with tons of great worldbuilding and character-focused drama, really muscular cinema. the definition of ‘they don’t make them like this anymore’.

   “I truly don’t know what’s gonna happen when the lights go out, Carolyn, but I do know, once the dying starts, this little psycho fuck family of ours is gonna rip itself apart.” While the CGI appears remarkably outdated by modern standards, Pitch Black still provided enough of a storyline to somewhat keep my interest. However, a significant issue lies in the characters who failed to captivate or intrigue me. A derivative Sci-Fi film typically doesn’t bother me but it needs to compensate with strong elements in other areas which this one unfortunately lacked. Overall, I suppose this was a watchable film. 🚀 ☀️ 🌖 👓

   A very grainy, lo-fi feel and some creative use of harsh colors and lighting give this a distinct look that’s kinda dated but you can tell they made the most of the budget and it’s pretty cool. I know Vin Diesel is basically a meme now but the man’s always had real presence and it’s more than evident here, Riddick is an instantly memorable character. Really dig this one.

   It’s not just that Richard B. Riddick is a super assassin space mage with infravision, it’s that he creeps up on motherfuckers with all this lithe seductive sneakin and snoopin, slicin off hairs and sniffin em, and all other types of bus pervert rigamarole.

   That shot of Riddick sitting under the umbrella is everything. He’s just a more violent, more macho Bugs Bunny

   SPACEFLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX. probably half an hour heavy, but then Twohy’s extremely admirable, career-long commitment to B-movie thrills has never extended to their narrative economy. turning this character into Intergalactic Conan remains a genius idea even if he and Diesel couldn’t quite pull it off.

    An unassuming science fiction thriller made with ample spirit and inspiration, David Twohy’s “Pitch Black” is a gripping, exciting, and completely appealing genre work. With notes of “Alien,” “The Road Warrior,” prisoner dramas of the past, and even Westerns, “Pitch Black” builds on the foundation of its inspirations to create a reverent and fresh dark adventure. It is an engagingly imagined and riveting ride. Taking place in a future where cargo ships transport passengers across space, “Pitch Black” focuses on one such vessel that crashes on a desolate planet. The planet holds its share of dangers, and the passengers quickly find themselves fighting for survival against them. Add to this the fact that one of the passengers is a purportedly…

    Vin says his full name is “Richard B. Riddick.” Ergo, his name could be Dick Big Riddick.

    After their ship crashes onto an unforgiving and hostile planet, only a disparate group of eleven folk survive under the command of “Fry” (Radha Mitchell). Trying to galvanise her cohort of ten isn’t going to be easy as these are no ordinary crew. Moreover, with pitch darkness descending over the place – quite an achievement as it has three suns – every twenty-odd hours, and with the indigenous plant life proving to have quite a penchant for human flesh, things look bleak. It might be that their only hope of survival rests with the see-in-the-dark enabled convict “Riddick” (Vin Diesel) but can she trust him to lead them to a shuttle that could get them off this arid world? Can she trust anyone? There are plenty of solid visual effects on display here, but the story has a certain familiar, hybrid, ring to it that anyone who has ever watched “Dr. Who” over the years will recognise. Diesel is an imposing and charismatic actor and he very much owns this, but the rest of the cast – including the dreadful Claudia Black whom I blame, entirely, for ruining “Stargate SG-1” in the end, picking up the slack and hopefully ending up triffid fodder. It is a well paced adventure with plenty going on pretty much from the start, and the dingy wind-swept scenarios create quite a claustrophobic atmosphere for this sinister adventure to thrive.

    ‘Pitch Black’ is passable viewing. As a big ‘Fast & Furious’ fan, it was about time I checked out more of Vin Diesel’s other work. I had heard of this character of his before, though didn’t know a jot about the plot. It turns out it’s fairly good, despite minor issues.

    It has a noticeable low budget/low quality feel to it, the special effects haven’t aged beautifully and the acting level is rather mid. Nevertheless, I still did enjoy the creatures and those onscreen do the job. It does attempt quite a bit of sci-fi, so I can respect it.

    Diesel is effective in the role of Riddick, a character I can certainly see the potential for here. Kinda funny that he co-stars with Cole Hauser, who appears in ‘2 Fast 2 Furious’ – the only F&F flick to not feature Vin. Hauser is solid enough, he does suit this sorta role.

    Radha Mitchell and Keith David are the best of the others. I’m intrigued to see where they went with ‘The Chronicles of Riddick’ (of course, the film Diesel chose over 2 Fast). I hadn’t heard of this one before, though do know of the follow-up… so it must be good, right?

    The movie that put Vin Diesel on the map as Riddick, the crooked anti-hero wanted by bounty hunters. This is another movie that benefits from knowing very little before watching the film.

    Wasn’t a big fan the last time I saw this (2000/2001) and didn’t think too much about it this go around, with the shoddy editing particularly early on (seemed to stabilize in the final act), and the direction itself was pretty amateurish with stretching the picture in certain instances. Some interesting elements I guess and the acting was okay but no real standouts including Vin Diesel who shows zero personality that at least has come through in the Fast and the Furious franchise. **2.75/5**

    One of those few movies that most people don’t care for, but I personally think is **criminally** underrated.

    _Final rating:★★★★½ – Ridiculously strong appeal. I can’t stop thinking about it._

    All you people are so scared of me. Most days I’d take that as a compliment. But it ain’t me you gotta worry about now.

    Pitch Black is directed by David Twohy and collectively written by Twohy and Ken and Jim Wheat. It stars Vin Diesel, Radha Mitchell, Cole Hauser, Keith David, Lewis Fitz-Gerald, Claudia Black and Rhiana Griffith. Music is by Graeme Revell and cinematography is by David Eggby.

    The year 2000 was awash with sci-fi movies, not all were stellar of course, but siting at the top end of the scale was this, Twohy’s super slice of action/horror/sci-fi cake.

    Right from the off we are thrust on board the cargo ship Hunter-Gratzner, which as it happens is plummeting through space. The ship has been hit by meteorite debris and junior officer Caroline Fly (Mitchell), after coming out of hyper sleep, manages to crash land on a nearby planet. Only a handful of passengers survive the crash, including infamous convict Richard B. Riddick (Diesel), but as the survivors struggle to cope with the threat from within the group, it becomes apparent that there’s a bigger threat soon to join the party, a deadly alien species, a species that can only operate in the dark. Pity, then, that an eclipse is due…

    Okies, so lets get the obvious out in the open right away, Pitch Black is a variant of Alien, one of a ream of films that grabbed the coat tails of Ridley Scott’s game changer. Yet this is still a fresh movie, a lesson in low budget film making with grace, style, blood, brains and balls – the execution grade “A” from those involved.

    It’s maybe surprising given the synopsis, to find that it’s a very character driven piece, with Twohy continually building his characters even as the carnage and terror is unleashed – and these are a very diverse bunch of characters. One of the universe’s baddest criminals, a spunky lady officer having to take command, a morphine addicted bounty hunter, an Islamic priest and his young companions, a camp alcoholic and a couple of strays. It’s the not so wild bunch, but everyone of them are afforded chance to impact on the story before and during the inevitable picking off one by one at the claws of the beasts.

    The narrative strength comes via Diesel’s hulking convict, he’s double jointed and has had optical surgery so he can see his enemies in the dark! The group must come to rely on him for he is clearly their best hope of survival, but can he be trusted? What is his ultimate ulterior motive? Riddick is the épée to Fry’s foil, it’s at times like a devil and angel trying to become one in the simple name of survival. These crux characters lift the simple premise to greater heights, that Mitchell (sexy/vulnerable/hard/smart) and Diesel (moody/beefy/gravelly/menacing) are bang on form helps no end. As does the work of the tech department.

    The setting created here is a splendid veer from one of the curses of sci-fi films, that of an unbelievable world. Twohy, Eggby and the art department achieve a world of 3 suns, of a scorched barren landscape, with the photography switching between bleached and metallic filters for maximum sci-fi impact. While the effects work belies the budget, check out the pre-eclipse sequence. What of the creatures themselves? They are legion, a sort of pterodactyl nightmare who let out high pitched bleats, they smell blood and move at high speeds, and like Riddick they have special vision in the dark, it’s the light that they are afraid of, thus this gives our survivors a glimmer (ahem) of hope in how to stave them off…

    The science and logic is hokey, but so what? This is a classy and taut sci-fi film brought about by a very under valued director, one that puts many a bigger budgeted Hollywood production to shame. Come the finale, where there’s still time to have your draw dropped, you may be minus nails and on the edge of your seat. 9/10
