Product Description

THERE’S A NEW REASON TO BE AFRAID OF THE DARK.

When an intergalactic transport ship crashes on a remote desert planet with no sign of help on the horizon, the survivors, led by Fry (Radha Mitchell), band together to find a way back home. Among the passengers is Riddick (Vin Diesel), a convicted murderer being transported by marshal Johns (Cole Hauser) – and now freed of his chains and on the loose. But as a solar eclipse plunges the planet into total darkness, a threat even worse than Riddick reveals itself, and the last humans standing may have to form an uneasy truce with the cunning fugitive (whose eyes have been surgically altered to see in the dark) to last the long night.

Boasting crackerjack direction and a whip-smart script by David Twohy, as well as a star-making performance by Diesel, Riddick’s first outing is freshly unleashed in an illuminating, brand new 4K restoration, with hours of exclusive bonus content.

A movie of its time but is still good.
5 out of 5 stars
A movie of its time but is still good.
Pitch Black is definitely a movie of its time but is still a fun watch, especially in this steelbook version.As a movie that came out in 2000, it has cheesy on-liners and the early days of cgi, however this movie holds up 2 decades after its release. Vin Diesel isn't the best actor but does a decent job in this movie, along with the supporting cast. The ending is satisfying and the action is good.The actual steelbook case is nice to hold and the metal is cold to the touch, and definitely worth getting.

Vin Diesel's Riddick character begins with this film. My favorite of the series.
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2013
Pitch Black is a wonderful combination of science fiction, horror and drama all in one movie. This is the first time the Riddick character is seen in a movie. Vin Diesel was born to play this tough, vicious and strange anti-hero Riddick character. He is a prisoner on a space ship which crash lands on what first appears to be an uninhabited planet with two suns. After the crash landing, Riddick was no longer on the ship. After one of the bounty hunters was killed by an unknown thing, the group began hunting for Riddick, who they think killed the bounty hunter. This quickly changes when the group discovers the planet is not uninhabited and there vicious creatures who are sensitive to light, but come out in the dark. The planet also rotates so that it becomes "PITCH BLACK." This is when the horror begins for the group. Riddick winds up leading the group in the dark to someplace safe, but as you know, things never go as planned.

This movie sets the stage for the sequel, "The Chronicles of Riddick" as well as the animated version, "Dark Fury" to come out. Since I am looking forward to the newest Riddick movie to come out in two weeks, I again watched Pitch Black, Dark Fury and The Chronicles of Riddick.

In conclusion, if you have not seen Pitch Black yet you may want to check it out before seeing the newest Riddick movie due out soon. In fact, you may want to check out all three previous Riddick movies. I like all the Riddick movies thus far and look forward to seeing the newest one.

Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Predator Hunter: A warrior's memoir)

With the release of The Chronicles of Riddick (2004) aka Pitch Black 2, Universal Home Video has decided to try and squeeze a bit more juice from the original film, releasing a Special Wide Screen Unrated Director's Cut edition. Is it worth it, for all of you out there who've already bought one of the numerous previous releases? I'll answer this question later. Pitch Black (2000) was directed by David Twohy, better known to me for his writing credits, specifically the Kevin Costner suck fest Waterworld (1995). Despite that particular credit, he did write and direct The Arrival (1996), which I did enjoy, but when the hole you're trying to exhume yourself from of is Waterworld, you have a lot of digging ahead of you. The most notable star in the film is Vin Diesel as Riddick, and, while not his first film, this is probably the one that really got him and his bald head noticed by the public. The film also stars Cole Hauser as William Johns, an actor I most recall from the 1993 film Dazed and Confused and sometimes get confused with Ben Affleck, who was also in that movie. Also appearing in the film is the delicious Claudia Black, a woman that any sci-fi aficionado would recognize as Aeryn Sun from the popular Farscape television series and Keith David, popular character actor I recognize mostly from John Carpenter films like The Thing (1982) and They Live (1988).

Anyhow, the film opens on a giant ship traveling through space. We see a number of people in cryo sleep, as since we all know, space travel takes a long time, so in order to pass the extended periods of time, people must be partially frozen, like green peas, and then thawed out when needed. Well, something goes wrong with the ship, and various peoples begin popping out of cryo sleep, as the computer, who probably screwed things up in the first place, now needs people to fix matters. But there's no fixing these particular matters as the ship makes a crash landing on a pretty crummy desert-like planet. As the surviving members of the ill-fated cruise extricate themselves from the wreckage, soon begin to learn more of these individuals. There's the Skipper, Mary Ann, the Professor...wait, that's not right...ah skip it...anyway, we do get to meet Riddick, the only passenger chained and bound during cryo sleep, who manages to escape his bonds, to which Johns begins to run around looking for him. As the others begin looking for water, a couple stay behind, one in particular to begin burying those who didn't survive the landing. As he's digging, he finds a hole, decides to stick his head inside, and poof, he's gone, leaving an awful lot of blood behind...where did he go? We see Riddick standing over the hole, to which everyone assumes he killed the man, but we learn pretty shortly afterwards that's not the case. An investigation turns up some pretty hideous (and hungry) creatures that can only venture out when the sun (or suns, as there's three of them on this world) is down. The stranded individuals eventually find water, in the form of a deserted mining camp. Also in the camp is a space skiff, a small ship capable of getting them off the planet and into space shipping lanes where they would most likely be picked up by a passing freighter. Only problem is the skiff needs power to operate, so heavy power cells from the crashed vessel must be transported to the skiff, and the distance is more than a hop, skip and a jump. Oh yeah, night is falling, causing the indigenous inhabitants to stir, and stir they do...by the millions...by the way, did I mention Riddick has some strange modification to his eyes that allow him to see in the dark? You can see where this might come in handy in the darkness of a planet inhabited by big, hungry, scary, carnivorous nocturnal creatures...

So, is this film any good? Being so inundated by B-movie flicks over the many years of my movie viewing existence, I was pleasantly surprised to find this was actually a very good film with better than average special effects. Okay, originality isn't its' strong point, but certain elements within the story makes it better than most, the key being that there is a coherent story throughout. And real, honest to goodness character development, to the point where I became unsure who was actually going to make it to the end of the film. The presentation of the character of Riddick, the anti-hero, was fun, and the notion of fighting evil with evil, as the tag line states seems a misrepresentation, as I really didn't see the creatures as being evil, only doing what they would normally do...the one character I found most annoying was that of Jack, given his whining and such, and sacrifices made to accommodate him. The element about the story I enjoyed most was that very little seemed to be what it appeared to be, specifically with the major characters and plot lines. Things get a bit topsy-turvy as revelations are made.

So, is it worth buying this version if you've already bought a previous DVD release of the film? Probably not...the special features included are commentaries by the director and stars Diesel and Hauser, additional commentaries by the director, the producer, and the guy in charge of the special effects, which were available on previous releases. The list of new features is listed on this website, but I found very little of them really worth my time, so if you already own a previous version (I didn't), you're not missing much. There was a free movie pass included in the DVD case, one for the new movie The Chronicles of Riddick (2004), so that's pretty sweet, give that going to the theater to see a new film has gotten so expensive.

By the way, did they rename this film The Chronicles of Riddick - Pitch Black? Was this done to help people remember it was the first film with the Riddick character? If so, it was a daft manuver...it will always be Pitch Black to me..

This is the first time I saw Vin Diesel and I knew it certainly would not be the last. His character is perfect (like that incredible body and voice) and the special effects are primo. Diesel OWNS this picture, even though he is backed by an exceptional cast of characters. Whoever chose the virtual unknown for the part should have gotten a hefty bonus. He was absoulute perfection in a damn good movie. Definately a thumbs up.

We have a space ship crash landing on a barren planet. Oddly enough, they just happen to land near the ONLY settlement which probably has the ONLY water on this blasted place. Plus, they manage to do it at a time when monsters are lurking about, which is a trick since it only happens once every twenty-two freakin' years!

Aboard we have an odd assortment of characters (not to mention first-rate actors): Besides the usual expendibles, we have a captain who tries to kill everyone, a good guy who isn't, a bad guy whos the hero, and a little boy who's a girl. You still with me?

Faults: If the beasties come out every twenty-two years and ravage the entire planet, where did the big animals come from whose skeletons we see? What the heck did animals that freakin' big drink? Or, even, where? There appear to be millions of the flying monsters -- what have they been eating UNDERGROUND for the last 22 years? How is it that they suddenly flew like bats after living in a hole all their lives? How come one expendible gets sucked in the hole from just sticking his head in, when the captain manages to climb in the thing and wander around, then get out with barely a scratch?

Do these faults really matter? Only if you're a bit anal like myself. The acting and effects are so bloody good you forget about the problems and just get involved in the film.

By the way, I loved the kid. He/she is perfect, much like Diesel. (I wish they'd taken the same actor and used her in the sequel, CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK, instead of going for the "pretty face".) Also, the sudden appearance of an expendible (who is promptly mistaken for the escaped convict) was an unexpected kick.

My movie ratings are as follows: 1) Just don't bother, 2)Borrow it if you MUST see the thing, 3) Rent it, 4) Pay to see it on the big screen, and 5)BUY IT ASAP. This one gets a 4 and a 5.

The highest praise a movie can get is is kept my total attention throughout. This one did.
