  Pitch Black - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pitch Black is a 2000 science fiction movie, directed by David Twohy.
Pitch Black was surprisingly successful for a B-movie, especially upon release to the DVD format.
While the film's visual effects were not ground-breaking, it made excellent use of ambient lighting to wash scenes in yellows and blues to simulate an eerie, alien glow from a three-sunned world.

The rest of "Pitch Black" follows the familiar pattern of a desert-island or haunted-house movie, as our plucky band, trapped in the darkness with their batteries and fuel supply rapidly fading, feud among themselves as they're picked off one at a time.
If "Pitch Black" is ultimately a formula picture in which the rogue outsider must learn the value of sacrifice and togetherness, the formula is dispatched with a nimble, respectful touch.

During the entire running of "Pitch Black" there was a cold and penetrating feeling that an unavoidable malevolent force was getting closer and closer to our shrinking band of survivors.
"Pitch Black" is the perfect example of a film that clones most of its elements from a previous classic (in this case it's "Aliens") and yet still manages to be entertaining and amazingly appear somewhat fresh.
But the star of "Pitch Black" is undoubtedly Vin Diesel as Riddick, an escaped prisoner that the rest of the crash survivors rightfully fear.

His next effort, "Pitch Black," turns the emphasis from science to action and horror, and succeeds wonderfully as a nonstop thrill ride, showcasing up-and-coming star Vin Diesel as the anti-hero Richard Riddick.
His performance showed he could be a leading man, and pushed him from indie films and supporting roles into leads in movies like "The Fast and the Furious." He oozes style and charisma, and while both his acting and his part are a shade one-dimensional, he offers just enough nuance to nail the part.
But in many of the darker scenes, particularly under the blue sun in the early part and in the nighttime that follows, there is often a surprising amount of grain, even considering the relatively low budget.
