Movie Review - Pitch Black

Today is "Pitch Black"

Starring Vin Diesel, Radha Mitchell, Cole Hauser and Rhiana Griffith

First there's a disaster when a cargo/passenger ship runs right through the tail of a comet. Then it crash lands on a deserted planet in a system that has three suns!

The crew (what's left of it) and the passengers (what's left of them) get to trudge through a hell-like desert in search of water and a way off the planet. Well, they find water and even a laid-up emergency space craft to get them outta there...only problem is...there are all these creatures, like bats...that eat everything. Like sharks will eat everything. Shark bats. That's it, they're Shark Bats!

Anyway, the small group of survivors do everything in their power to basically survive but with an oncoming eclipse and an oncoming herd of flying shark bats, everyone is really stressed out. It's down to who can run really fast with as much light and torch and flame to keep the dreaded creatures from feasting on newly crashed people. While Riddick (Diesel) is trying his damnest to keep Johns (Hauser) off his back while trying to get away from being sold to another Merc, the rest of the group try to come to grips with actual grips from the clawed talons of the shark bats. Riddick, who can see much better in the darkness than in light, helps them to safety...well what was left of the survivors of the actual survivors, who got out alive.

This has been my Movie Review. Are you afraid of the dark? Don't be afraid of the dark. On second thought, be afraid. Be very afraid.
