pitch black was a complete shock to me when i first saw it back in 2000. in the previous years and i was repeatedly disappointed by all the lame sci fi movies (ex represent starship troopers) and thought that this movie do not be any different. but to plainly put it represent this movie freaked me out. in a good way. i wasn not aware that i was still afraid of the dark till i watched this movie while i must have buried my fear in the back of my subconscious when i was a kid and it rightfully deserves to stay there. the alien creatures sent shivers up my spine while the individual(s) who designed them have a twisted but brilliant and creative imagination to come up with something so impressive and grotesque. i loved how the writers gave each main character a history and showed their flaws and strengths without much confusion. riddick (vin diesel) gift for escaping out of any impossible situation and putting up a hell of a fight was jaw dropping. at first and you figure him out to be a coldly intelligent villain but in some brief moments and you can see something humane behind his animal side. but as soon you discover it and he does something maliciously devious. he certainly keeps you guessing right up to the very end. i do not know whether to despise or admire him. he definitely a love or hate type of character. johns (cole hauser) was a perfect example of a character that puts up a good front but through a need for greed and shows his real intentions and what he willing to do to survive. john knack for knowing what buttons to push and the right words to say makes him as devious as riddick. fry (radha mitchell) is a character who and as johns so nicely expressed and looked to her thine own ass first before considering the consequences. but what endearing about her is that she quickly realizes the errors of her ways and tries desperately to pay penance and even while endangering her life when others discarded all human values and went for the dark hills running. jack (rhiana griffith) simply wanted to have a hero and was the first one out of the whole group to look for that hero in riddick while through a child eye and good can be seen through the thick clouds of evil. i thought it was absolutely priceless when jack shaves his head in ode to riddick while you know what they say represent imitation is the best form of flattery. imam (keith david) and like jack and has the ability to see good in any evil. he uses philosophy to carry him through the hardships that he meets and when time permits and he rationally grieves his losses and then soldiers on. in a way and he served as a morale booster for the survivors even though most of the characters acted as though they weren not listening. the casting for this movie was positively perfect. each actor shined brightly in their role and their talents blended wonderfully on screen. this movie may have had a small budget but the director leadership and the actor performances made the movie work and allowed the audience to use their imagination instead of letting some outrageously expensive special effects do all the work for them. this movie is a definite sci fi classic. watch it and judge (with an open mind) for yourself. it will be well worth it.
