Negative Positive
Title: Great modern sci-fi thriller
Review: It's not entirely correct to call Pitch Black a sci-fi movie, but it certainly is in the same way as Alien. From a technical point of view, Pitch Black has many original ideas to pull it away from the cheap slasher type. Sometimes it seems kind of hard to catch up, for it is somewhat bumpy in storytelling but not full of mistakes. The quick cuts to different scenes make the film quite short-wave. Action is always an difficult element and though it's not the quintessence of the movie, it's perfectly realized and even comes up with a few surprises. Visually the movie is just great, the difference between day and day, the black night and Tatopoulos' beautiful creatures ensure great popcorn entertainment. The great DTS Surround Sound creates a fantastic atmosphere, especialy at the planets night. One last thing, Vin Diesel ist absolutely great.
