Review of Pitch Black (2000) by Dennis S — 14 Jul 2011
This science-fiction movie is surprisingly good. The plot is simple, and has logic - survivors of a long distance space crash fight for survival on a three suns planet. They have to face unknown dangers, but also their own characters.
Acting is good, violence is never cheap, and the effects prove that you can do a lot with little money. It is worth watching. The quality of the cinematography is especially good, from the filtered light of an always lit world to the darkness of an eclipse happening every 22 years.
Another interesting and original concept is presenting a group of Muslims in the future - taken into account the stereotypes too often met in recent movies their presence is fresh and different here. Overall, good science-fiction and good action, worth a watch, certainly for the fans of the genre.
