Owing a major debt to Alien and its cinematic spawn, Pitch Black is a guilty pleasure that surpasses expectations. As he did with The Arrival, director David Twohy revitalizes a derivative story, allowing you to forgive its flaws and submit to its visceral thrills. Under casual scrutiny, the plot's logic crumbles like a stale cookie, but it's definitely fun while it lasts.
A spaceship crashes on a desert planet scorched under three suns. The mostly doomed survivors include a resourceful captain (Radha Mitchell), a drug-addled cop (Cole Hauser), and a deadly prisoner (Vin Diesel) who quickly escapes. These clashing personalities discover that the planet is plunging into the darkness of an extended eclipse, and it's populated by hordes of ravenous, razor-fanged beasties that only come out at night. The body count rises, and Pitch Black settles into familiar sci-fi territory.
What sets the movie apart is Twohy's developing visual style, suggesting that this veteran of B-movie schlock may advance to the big leagues. Like the makers of The Blair Witch Project, Twohy understands the frightening power of suggestion; his hungry monsters are better heard than seen (although once seen, they're chillingly effective), and Pitch Black gets full value from moments of genuine panic. Best of all, Twohy's got a well-matched cast, with Mitchell (so memorable with Ally Sheedy in High Art) and Diesel (Pvt. Caparzo from Saving Private Ryan) being the standouts. The latter makes the most of his muscle-man role, and his character's development is one more reason this movie works better than it should. --Jeff Shannon

ANOTHER REASON TO BE SCARED OF THE DARK!!!.......2007-09-04
man this movie was hard core, since the first time i watched it, and even now after many many times of seeing it. it's still a good one for me. man especially since vin diesel was up in there. my hero. movie does him justice. he's great, his acting, and his skills. let the world know who he was. he's been unstoppable since. another one of my favorites is cole hauser. i give him props. this was a thrill ride. you never know what's in the dark. there's always a scare of the unknown. don't venture in the dark alone. "i'm not the one you gotta worry about", nicely spoken. riddicks not the bad guy here, he's going to turn out to be the hero, the leader, their hope. good movie, if you haven't seen it you definitly should.
amazing movie.......2007-07-25
pitch black makes you love the bad guy and want the "good guys" to die. not many movies can do that. pure badassery...
Excellent Movie.......2007-07-07
However, not widely viewed prior to the release of Chronicles of Riddick. This is a sci-fi thriller! People marooned on a desert planet with a surprise when the sun goes down ("Pitch-Black). Riddick as always is a tough guy whose character you will like and want to see him in more movies. The choice of characters was very good. You develop distinct feelings towards each one and the writers did not let those emotions go to waste. Excellent cinematography. You will be on the edge of your seat waiting for the boogey men!
Director's log.......2007-05-02
(Pitch Black) is an unrated movie about transporting forty passengers and one Furian murderer. The ship gets caught in a meteor shower, kills the captain. The ship crashes on a baren desert planet. Soon the as lights go off, the only one they can trust is the murderer,because he's the only one who can see in the dark so I hope you're not afraid of the dark.
Great movie even better on HD-DVD.......2007-03-24
The extras are sparse, but the transfer really shows how much better HD-DVD looks over DVD. I have both and side to side you can see the lifelike coloring of the flashlights in the dark, details are clear. The movie is one of my wife's favorites and one of Diesels best.
Average customer rating:
- NBC Universal is a joke.
- Best buy, IMHO
- Well done science ficition
- awesome awesome awesome
- Now we need a pre- and post-Riddick trilogy...

Dark Fury - The Chronicles of Riddick (Animated)
Taking a page from The Animatrix, Dark Fury is part of a new trend of bridging theatrical sequels. As an official product of a franchise, the 35-minute anime benefits from having the original actors voice the characters, including Vin Diesel as Riddick. This story opens with the new action hero and the two other survivors of Pitch Black already caught by a giant spaceship filled with dread. The sinewy leader has a unique--and creepy--jail for master villains and she has her sights set on Riddick. The film--indeed the series--is indebted to animator Peter Chung, who brings his techno style from his Aeon Flux series. His smooth animation for Riddick doesn't reinvent the character as much as give him a new, appealing fluidity. As anime goes, there's nothing really new here--plenty of action, cool killers, and dramatic spurts of blood--but it's a building block for how this genre might enliven movie series and sequels in the future. --Doug Thomas
Description
Journey to a remote, hostile planet with a group of marooned passengers who learn that escaped convict Riddick isn't the only thing they have to fear in Pitch Black. Then, see him battle ruthless soldiers of fortune and vicious creatures in renowned animator Peter Chung's The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury. And finally, Riddick finds himself humanity's unlikely champion in the special effects-fueled The Chronicles of Riddick. Join Riddick in three times the action, three times the adrenaline and three times the adventure as the Riddick Trilogy makes complete one of the greatest sci-fi epics of all time!

NBC Universal is a joke........2007-09-14
These are three really bad movies. If it shows anything, it is that NBC/Universal wants to make money, and they will make the very worst products to do it, wither it is this, or the political trash they do on MSNBC.
Best buy, IMHO.......2007-09-10
...cause it costs only 9.99 and includes all three movies. That's good. And plenty of addons... that's also good.
Well done science ficition.......2007-08-03
The third movie is production wise the best for me, but all 3 are for lovers of action movies a la alien, matrix, etc...
awesome awesome awesome.......2007-07-09
I finally got around to seeing "Chronicles" on cable, not being a big Diesel fan, and loved it. So I picked up this collection, and it's great plain great.
Now we need a pre- and post-Riddick trilogy..........2007-06-05
This big winners in this series were Crematoria, Elementals, the Under-verse, Necros, and Riddick as a surviving Furyan. Anything that helped in understanding these five essential elements of the Riddick Trilogy were greatly appreciated. The rest was just...entertaining.
I watched and read The Chronicles of Riddick (III) before watching Pitch Black, although I had read the book Pitch Black. The Chronicles was a better film than Pitch Black, but I know Pitch Black helped make sense of some of The Chronicles. There were a number of ah-ha moments... Riddick's relationship with the Imam and "Jack", why he is on the run, "Jack's" statements that were repeats of what she learned and heard in Pitch Black, and more.
Dark Fury is an animated short that really does a number of neat, but non-essential things: introduces Toombs the merc, demonstrates Riddick's fighting abilities, and explains the tightness of him, Imam, and Jack.
The Chronicles of Riddick (III) was great. As I mentioned, the concept of and cinematography "on" Crematoria was worth the price of the movie.
There's what is missing. We really need to know more about the pre-Pitch Black portion of Riddick's life. What was Furya really like... a futurist Sparta? And then, given that Riddick got to "keep what he kills," what does he do with the Necros when he becomes Lord Marshall? What happens to their search for the Under-verse?
Oh, right... this is fiction, science-fiction. But I still want to know what happens next!

The Farrelly brothers continue their good-natured winning streak with Fever Pitch, a romantic comedy charmed by fate and last-minute improvisation. The movie was originally written with a bittersweet ending, but something unexpected happened (kismet, or perhaps divine intervention?) when the Boston Red Sox scored miraculous victories in the 2004 playoffs and World Series, and Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon were there, in character, to celebrate love and baseball as a pair of amiable lovers who learn to share their lives while accommodating Fallon's life-long passion for the Red Sox. You really have to love baseball to forgive the formulaic romance by veteran Hollywood screenwriters Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel (who also wrote A League of Their Own, and could write this stuff in their sleep), but the codirecting Farrellys make it work, along with the easygoing chemistry of Barrymore and Fallon. The movie bears little resemblance to Nick Hornby's source novel (which was more faithfully adapted as a 1997 British comedy starring Colin Firth), but anyone who enjoyed High Fidelity or About a Boy will recognize Hornby's keen understanding of men and women, and the hazards we all endure when playing the game of love. --Jeff Shannon
Description
According to Red Sox super-fan Ben Wrightman (Jimmy Fallon), finding romance is about as likely as his beloved team winning the World Series. But when Ben scores a beautiful new girlfriend (Drew Barrymore), suddenly anything is possible. Now the two passions in his life have a chance to go all the way... if he doesn't strike out first.
Customer Reviews:
Great Romantic Comedy!.......2007-09-04
I'm not one of those movie-goers who sees the words "The Farrelly brothers" and has to rush out and see the movie. I couldn't tell you anything else that they've done other than this movie. What I do know is that THIS movie was very well done from script to screen! The writing is taut and believable. The dialog is humorous when it needs to be, serious when it has to be. It's just REAL. The entire movie has a sense of realism to it that most in this genre seem to lack.
I could spend a whole review just talking about the on-screen chemistry between Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon. Of course, I am starting to believe Drew Barrymore could have on-screen chemistry with a mop and bucket. She's simply one of the greatest actresses of our time. She can do drama, Thrillers, and comedy. She can do Action and Romance. She can simply do anything and make it believable. But she goes beyond believable in this movie. As with so many of her recent films, she goes right to ENJOYABLE! and even that is an understatement.
My fiancee' was not a big baseball fan when we first watched this movie. After watching it, baseball has become something over which she and I bond. It truly is a family night now and I have Fever Pitch to thank for it. Now if they'd only make a football movie with the same effect!
One of my all time favorite baseball movies ..........2007-08-23
You already know the plot - up and coming Yuppie businesswoman Lindsay (Drew) falls for schoolteacher Red Sox fan Ben (Fallon). But like a lot of Farrelly Brothers films, there is more depth, character complexity and charm than first meets the eye. The relationship between Ben and Lindsay seems REAL - replete with all the challenges and adjustments and compromises necessary to make a relationship work. The baseball scenes are pure magic. A film of utter charm guaranteed to make you smile and warm your heart.
Really Charming Romantic/Sports Comedy.......2007-08-17
Not being a baseball fan (I am a HUGE hockey fan) I caught this one on HBO, and I ordered the DVD as soon as the credits rolled. It is a charming romantic comedy.
Cute and Fun.......2007-08-17
Since I live in Boston, Red Sox had been everyone's topic during each summer. It was actually quite amusing to see a red sox fan being depicted in a major motion picture. I think the story is very cute and well thought. I really enjoyed watching this movie.
Even Yankees Fans Enjoy This Movie.......2007-08-14
I saw this movie in theaters a few years ago when it first came out. I was with my best friends, one of which a fellow female Red Sox fan who I knew would love it because, after all, it is a romantic comedy involving the Red Sox. My other friend is male and a die-hard Yankees fan. We eventually started dating and he's come to tell me he loves this movie and wants to buy it. The movie centers around a very perfect couple, Barrymore and Fallon, who have their relationship tested when the baseball season begins and Fallon finds himself torn between two loves. If you like the Red Sox and romance movies, you will love this movie. Even if you don't love the Red Sox, I'd recommend giving this film a shot!

Owing a major debt to Alien and its cinematic spawn, Pitch Black is a guilty pleasure that surpasses expectations. As he did with The Arrival, director David Twohy revitalizes a derivative story, allowing you to forgive its flaws and submit to its visceral thrills. Under casual scrutiny, the plot's logic crumbles like a stale cookie, but it's definitely fun while it lasts.
A spaceship crashes on a desert planet scorched under three suns. The mostly doomed survivors include a resourceful captain (Radha Mitchell), a drug-addled cop (Cole Hauser), and a deadly prisoner (Vin Diesel) who quickly escapes. These clashing personalities discover that the planet is plunging into the darkness of an extended eclipse, and it's populated by hordes of ravenous, razor-fanged beasties that only come out at night. The body count rises, and Pitch Black settles into familiar sci-fi territory.
What sets the movie apart is Twohy's developing visual style, suggesting that this veteran of B-movie schlock may advance to the big leagues. Like the makers of The Blair Witch Project, Twohy understands the frightening power of suggestion; his hungry monsters are better heard than seen (although once seen, they're chillingly effective), and Pitch Black gets full value from moments of genuine panic. Best of all, Twohy's got a well-matched cast, with Mitchell (so memorable with Ally Sheedy in High Art) and Diesel (Pvt. Caparzo from Saving Private Ryan) being the standouts. The latter makes the most of his muscle-man role, and his character's development is one more reason this movie works better than it should. --Jeff Shannon

man this movie was hard core, since the first time i watched it, and even now after many many times of seeing it. it's still a good one for me. man especially since vin diesel was up in there. my hero. movie does him justice. he's great, his acting, and his skills. let the world know who he was. he's been unstoppable since. another one of my favorites is cole hauser. i give him props. this was a thrill ride. you never know what's in the dark. there's always a scare of the unknown. don't venture in the dark alone. "i'm not the one you gotta worry about", nicely spoken. riddicks not the bad guy here, he's going to turn out to be the hero, the leader, their hope. good movie, if you haven't seen it you definitly should.
amazing movie.......2007-07-25
pitch black makes you love the bad guy and want the "good guys" to die. not many movies can do that. pure badassery...
Excellent Movie.......2007-07-07
However, not widely viewed prior to the release of Chronicles of Riddick. This is a sci-fi thriller! People marooned on a desert planet with a surprise when the sun goes down ("Pitch-Black). Riddick as always is a tough guy whose character you will like and want to see him in more movies. The choice of characters was very good. You develop distinct feelings towards each one and the writers did not let those emotions go to waste. Excellent cinematography. You will be on the edge of your seat waiting for the boogey men!
Director's log.......2007-05-02
(Pitch Black) is an unrated movie about transporting forty passengers and one Furian murderer. The ship gets caught in a meteor shower, kills the captain. The ship crashes on a baren desert planet. Soon the as lights go off, the only one they can trust is the murderer,because he's the only one who can see in the dark so I hope you're not afraid of the dark.
Great movie even better on HD-DVD.......2007-03-24
The extras are sparse, but the transfer really shows how much better HD-DVD looks over DVD. I have both and side to side you can see the lifelike coloring of the flashlights in the dark, details are clear. The movie is one of my wife's favorites and one of Diesels best.

The Farrelly brothers continue their good-natured winning streak with Fever Pitch, a romantic comedy charmed by fate and last-minute improvisation. The movie was originally written with a bittersweet ending, but something unexpected happened (kismet, or perhaps divine intervention?) when the Boston Red Sox scored miraculous victories in the 2004 playoffs and World Series, and Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon were there, in character, to celebrate love and baseball as a pair of amiable lovers who learn to share their lives while accommodating Fallon's life-long passion for the Red Sox. You really have to love baseball to forgive the formulaic romance by veteran Hollywood screenwriters Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel (who also wrote A League of Their Own, and could write this stuff in their sleep), but the codirecting Farrellys make it work, along with the easygoing chemistry of Barrymore and Fallon. The movie bears little resemblance to Nick Hornby's source novel (which was more faithfully adapted as a 1997 British comedy starring Colin Firth), but anyone who enjoyed High Fidelity or About a Boy will recognize Hornby's keen understanding of men and women, and the hazards we all endure when playing the game of love. --Jeff Shannon
Description
According to Red Sox super-fan Ben Wrightman (Jimmy Fallon), finding romance is about as likely as his beloved team winning the World Series. But when Ben scores a beautiful new girlfriend (Drew Barrymore), suddenly anything is possible. Now the two passions in his life have a chance to go all the way... if he doesn't strike out first.
Customer Reviews:
Great Romantic Comedy!.......2007-09-04
I'm not one of those movie-goers who sees the words "The Farrelly brothers" and has to rush out and see the movie. I couldn't tell you anything else that they've done other than this movie. What I do know is that THIS movie was very well done from script to screen! The writing is taut and believable. The dialog is humorous when it needs to be, serious when it has to be. It's just REAL. The entire movie has a sense of realism to it that most in this genre seem to lack.
I could spend a whole review just talking about the on-screen chemistry between Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon. Of course, I am starting to believe Drew Barrymore could have on-screen chemistry with a mop and bucket. She's simply one of the greatest actresses of our time. She can do drama, Thrillers, and comedy. She can do Action and Romance. She can simply do anything and make it believable. But she goes beyond believable in this movie. As with so many of her recent films, she goes right to ENJOYABLE! and even that is an understatement.
My fiancee' was not a big baseball fan when we first watched this movie. After watching it, baseball has become something over which she and I bond. It truly is a family night now and I have Fever Pitch to thank for it. Now if they'd only make a football movie with the same effect!
One of my all time favorite baseball movies ..........2007-08-23
You already know the plot - up and coming Yuppie businesswoman Lindsay (Drew) falls for schoolteacher Red Sox fan Ben (Fallon). But like a lot of Farrelly Brothers films, there is more depth, character complexity and charm than first meets the eye. The relationship between Ben and Lindsay seems REAL - replete with all the challenges and adjustments and compromises necessary to make a relationship work. The baseball scenes are pure magic. A film of utter charm guaranteed to make you smile and warm your heart.
Really Charming Romantic/Sports Comedy.......2007-08-17
Not being a baseball fan (I am a HUGE hockey fan) I caught this one on HBO, and I ordered the DVD as soon as the credits rolled. It is a charming romantic comedy.
Cute and Fun.......2007-08-17
Since I live in Boston, Red Sox had been everyone's topic during each summer. It was actually quite amusing to see a red sox fan being depicted in a major motion picture. I think the story is very cute and well thought. I really enjoyed watching this movie.
Even Yankees Fans Enjoy This Movie.......2007-08-14
I saw this movie in theaters a few years ago when it first came out. I was with my best friends, one of which a fellow female Red Sox fan who I knew would love it because, after all, it is a romantic comedy involving the Red Sox. My other friend is male and a die-hard Yankees fan. We eventually started dating and he's come to tell me he loves this movie and wants to buy it. The movie centers around a very perfect couple, Barrymore and Fallon, who have their relationship tested when the baseball season begins and Fallon finds himself torn between two loves. If you like the Red Sox and romance movies, you will love this movie. Even if you don't love the Red Sox, I'd recommend giving this film a shot!

Owing a major debt to Alien and its cinematic spawn, Pitch Black is a guilty pleasure that surpasses expectations. As he did with The Arrival, director David Twohy revitalizes a derivative story, allowing you to forgive its flaws and submit to its visceral thrills. Under casual scrutiny, the plot's logic crumbles like a stale cookie, but it's definitely fun while it lasts.
A spaceship crashes on a desert planet scorched under three suns. The mostly doomed survivors include a resourceful captain (Radha Mitchell), a drug-addled cop (Cole Hauser), and a deadly prisoner (Vin Diesel) who quickly escapes. These clashing personalities discover that the planet is plunging into the darkness of an extended eclipse, and it's populated by hordes of ravenous, razor-fanged beasties that only come out at night. The body count rises, and Pitch Black settles into familiar sci-fi territory.
What sets the movie apart is Twohy's developing visual style, suggesting that this veteran of B-movie schlock may advance to the big leagues. Like the makers of The Blair Witch Project, Twohy understands the frightening power of suggestion; his hungry monsters are better heard than seen (although once seen, they're chillingly effective), and Pitch Black gets full value from moments of genuine panic. Best of all, Twohy's got a well-matched cast, with Mitchell (so memorable with Ally Sheedy in High Art) and Diesel (Pvt. Caparzo from Saving Private Ryan) being the standouts. The latter makes the most of his muscle-man role, and his character's development is one more reason this movie works better than it should. --Jeff Shannon

Owing a major debt to Alien and its cinematic spawn, Pitch Black is a guilty pleasure that surpasses expectations. As he did with The Arrival, director David Twohy revitalizes a derivative story, allowing you to forgive its flaws and submit to its visceral thrills. Under casual scrutiny, the plot's logic crumbles like a stale cookie, but it's definitely fun while it lasts.
A spaceship crashes on a desert planet scorched under three suns. The mostly doomed survivors include a resourceful captain (Radha Mitchell), a drug-addled cop (Cole Hauser), and a deadly prisoner (Vin Diesel) who quickly escapes. These clashing personalities discover that the planet is plunging into the darkness of an extended eclipse, and it's populated by hordes of ravenous, razor-fanged beasties that only come out at night. The body count rises, and Pitch Black settles into familiar sci-fi territory.
What sets the movie apart is Twohy's developing visual style, suggesting that this veteran of B-movie schlock may advance to the big leagues. Like the makers of The Blair Witch Project, Twohy understands the frightening power of suggestion; his hungry monsters are better heard than seen (although once seen, they're chillingly effective), and Pitch Black gets full value from moments of genuine panic. Best of all, Twohy's got a well-matched cast, with Mitchell (so memorable with Ally Sheedy in High Art) and Diesel (Pvt. Caparzo from Saving Private Ryan) being the standouts. The latter makes the most of his muscle-man role, and his character's development is one more reason this movie works better than it should. --Jeff Shannon

ANOTHER REASON TO BE SCARED OF THE DARK!!!.......2007-09-04
man this movie was hard core, since the first time i watched it, and even now after many many times of seeing it. it's still a good one for me. man especially since vin diesel was up in there. my hero. movie does him justice. he's great, his acting, and his skills. let the world know who he was. he's been unstoppable since. another one of my favorites is cole hauser. i give him props. this was a thrill ride. you never know what's in the dark. there's always a scare of the unknown. don't venture in the dark alone. "i'm not the one you gotta worry about", nicely spoken. riddicks not the bad guy here, he's going to turn out to be the hero, the leader, their hope. good movie, if you haven't seen it you definitly should.
amazing movie.......2007-07-25
pitch black makes you love the bad guy and want the "good guys" to die. not many movies can do that. pure badassery...
Excellent Movie.......2007-07-07
However, not widely viewed prior to the release of Chronicles of Riddick. This is a sci-fi thriller! People marooned on a desert planet with a surprise when the sun goes down ("Pitch-Black). Riddick as always is a tough guy whose character you will like and want to see him in more movies. The choice of characters was very good. You develop distinct feelings towards each one and the writers did not let those emotions go to waste. Excellent cinematography. You will be on the edge of your seat waiting for the boogey men!
Director's log.......2007-05-02
(Pitch Black) is an unrated movie about transporting forty passengers and one Furian murderer. The ship gets caught in a meteor shower, kills the captain. The ship crashes on a baren desert planet. Soon the as lights go off, the only one they can trust is the murderer,because he's the only one who can see in the dark so I hope you're not afraid of the dark.
Great movie even better on HD-DVD.......2007-03-24
The extras are sparse, but the transfer really shows how much better HD-DVD looks over DVD. I have both and side to side you can see the lifelike coloring of the flashlights in the dark, details are clear. The movie is one of my wife's favorites and one of Diesels best.
