A space transport crashes on an apparently deserted planet, leaving the crew to reckon with the likes of fellow passenger Riddick (Diesel), a serial murderer.

I must say that I think that the character that Vin Diesel plays is the all-time best fictional character ever. Who's cool? The movie in general is good, better then it's follow up film. But it still has it's dull spots.
Sam gave it an8:
Pitch Black isn't the greatest sci-fi movie of all time, and it isn't trying to be. It is, though, a helluva lot of fun.

(for director's cut) Starts off clunky, like Alien-lite, but Vin diesel steps up to form an saves it at the end. ONly worth ONE watch, though. Won't endure past that.
dan x gave it a10:
I think it's one of the most underrated films. The alien world the action take place in is quite interesting...you won't such sceneries in many films... the acting is also good.
Ryan M. gave it a10:
Honestly, this was an excellent movie on so many levels. The visuals were incredible, and the dark gothic theme of it all was extremely appealing. Though the acting was a bit weak, the movie just unique. This just proves that people have very different tastes in movies, and this one happened to be my cup of tea.
Oliver B. gave it a 1:
This film combines darkness, bad aliens and Vin Diesel, to become one of, if not the most boring tedious and generally terrible film in my lifetime. I can't understand how anybody can find this visually boring film entertaining.
Riddick gave it a 9:
Riddick is a badass and he kicks ass. You need more?
