Pitch Black is a movie that is not for the feint of heart. It will leave you sitting on the edge of your seat. Make sure you get your snack and everything ready before putting this DVD in the player. Vin Diesel does an excellent acting job in this movie that lasts 110 minutes. A 110 minutes might seem like a long time. However, trust me; time will fly watching this movie.
Vin Diesel is an escaped convict being transported with other passengers. The ship crashes onto a very hostile planet. The creatures on the planet are allergic to light and it does severe damage to them. The surviving passengers of the ship must escape to a rescue ship without getting eaten by the creatures of the night.
Sounds simple? The first problem is everyone is afraid of the Riddick. He has a horrible reputation and they don’t know if they can trust him. In the end, it’s Riddick that everyone is depending on to get them off the planet and back to safety.
The second problem, the survivors are faced with an eclipse. The entire planet turns pitch black. Riddick has special eyes that can see in the dark. For this reason, he becomes even more relied on for safety.
Do they make it to safety? You’ll have to watch the DVD to find out. If you like Pitch Black, there is a Pitch Black 2 as well. These movies are also known as: The Chronicles of Riddick.
Pitch Black is rated R because of the foul language, extreme violence and blood and gore.
