Pitch Black ...i remember watching it on tv (between about a million commercials) and thinking it wasn' t much more than a typical cookie clutter horror/sci fi movie... ...somehow i managed to get the DVD, but left it unwatched (still in its cellophane wrapping) for around two years...
...last night i actually bothered to sick it in my x-box and was..
...pleasantly surprised...
...it' s actually a very good film, which takes those typical stereotypes and builds upon them... ...i really enjoyed the whole darkness/fear/primal instinct underpining of the story...
....i' m having difficulty trying to think of any other recent sci-fi film which is as good...
...anyone have an opinion about Pitch Black' s sequel,
The Chronicles of Riddick?.... ....from the trailers, it looks like the director has abandoned all the cool themes and subtexts of the first film and decided to create some sort of sub-standard Flash Gordon save-the-universe crap[:' (][:' (]....
....is it worth picking up?...
