The review of this Movie prepared by G-funk




What would you do if you were trapped on an alien planet with a known killer, and found out he's not the most dangerous thing there? David Twohy(writer/director)makes this movie amazing. Known psychopath/killer Richard B. Riddick(Diesel), has to use his "shined" eyes to lead a bunch of crash survivors to their only way off planet. With nasty aliens and an eclipse that last for god only knows how long, its not an easy thing to do. This is one movie you have to see for yourself to really get a good idea of the amazing sequences.

When a transport ship with 40 passengers crosses the path of a rogue comet, the ship crash lands on a desolate desert world with not one or two, but 3 suns. No food, no water, no signs of life on the planet. The only crew member still alive (Rhada Mitchell) has to rely on a bounty hunter (Cole Hauser) who isn't as nice as he appears. Then things get complicated when they discover one of the surviving passengers is escaped murderer Richard Riddick (Vin Diesel). Worse yet, he's not what they should be most afraid of. They should be afraid of what comes out at night . . .

Pitch Black is about a group of spaceship passengers that accidentaly land on an unknown planet. Their capatin Caroline (Mitchell) is one of the few who survive the crash. Along with her is a notorious convict, Richard Riddick (Diesel) who is under control by Johns (Hauser), a cop-like individual. On the planet, the crew faces an eclipse that takes place every 22 years. At that time the entire planet turns pitch black and evil creatures dominate the land. The crew depends on Riddick and his eyes that can lead them through the dark and get them back to their spaceship. Pitch Black is a new age Sci-Fi thriller. Very cool film nice spfx.

A small group survive a spaceship wreck including a convicted killer. They discover they are not alone, that the former inhabitants were killed by the aliens during an eclipse,and there is going to be another one.The only one who can save them is the killer because he can see in the dark to guide them to a new spaceship if they agree they won't send him back to prison.
The review of this Movie prepared by Sarah Pollard




The survivors of a crashed transport (space) ship must survive on an apparently empty, apparently eternally blazing world. Events are complicated by the fact that one of the survivors is a criminal being transported to prison, and because what is apparently true about the planet is in fact wrong.
The review of this Movie prepared by Brook Willeford




A transport ship containing 40 passengers heading to other worlds for, among other reasons, settling, New Mecca, and for one passenger, a new prison cell. Their ship gets hit by a tiny meteor storm and crash lands on a barren planet with three suns. Survival is high on the list now that the prisoner is loose, and there's no water in sight. However, come nightfall, there is something even more sinister to worry about.
