Summary: This movie is just .....Amazing!
Review: This movie is impossible to explain!It is nothing short of a 5 star movie. This is one of my favorite movies i own on DVD! Ive taken my liking of this movie so far that Ive even given out two copies for birthday presents. Well i'ts a movie in between action, thriller, horror, sci-fi, and Oscar material. The main character is a person who had an eye operation which allows him to see in the dark. He seems to be part animal and has superhuman strength. A group of people become stranded on deadly ground, and him, the bad guy, must try to save as many of them as he can before the dark-dwelling creatures catch them. I strongly reccomend this movie to people who are just starting their DVD collections and want good movies as well as for people with large DVD collections.

Summary: Vin Diesel kicks ...........
Review: The critics that trashed this movie are truly ignorant!The storyline is deep and the special effects are awesome.There are underlining storylines active for each character.Everyone in the show has some sort of secret.This movie goes into the true human psyche unlike most that claim to.Its also nice to root for the quote"Bad guy", who in actuallity is the only one person who knows whats really going on.The feel and the cinematography are incredible.I personally find this to be one of the best new Sci-Fi fliks created.Some people just can't deal with true human nature and for that reason, you may not like this movie.Pitch Black is AWESOME!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pitch Black Delivers The Fear
Review: With no more genuinely scary movies produced lately, this movie delivers the fear. Pitch Black has to be one of the last greatest scary movies in recent years. The film keeps you on the edge of your seat at all times and it delivers the suspense. Set on a distant planet in the future, this sci-fi film gives you everything you want in a movie-suspense, action, and drama.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pitch Black
Review: This a sci-fi movie that actually thrills the viewer from opening scene to the credit roll.

During a journey, a ship carrying many paasengers is caught in a metor shower and the pilot must make an emergency landing on a seeming deserted island. During the crash, many of the passengers die but a hand full survives. Among them are a convicted killer, the cop that arrested him, and a monk.

The survivors soon learn that the planet is far from deserted. Beings that live in the dark tunnels and underpassages inhabit the planet. Fortunately these creatures can only live in darkness and the planet is surrounded by three suns. Unfortunately, an eclipse that occurs once every 22 years is about to happen.

This is one of the best alien sci-fi films I've seen since the orginal Alien.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Effects
Review: I saw this movie in the Theaters. The acting was pretty poor but the visual and sound effects more than made up for the lack of believable characters. Every character had some flaw that was pushed to the max. If you love your sight and sound, this movie is excellent. 5.1 a must. Surround sound in a grand scale. You feel like you're surrounded.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie - You've Gotta See It!
Review: This low budget SciFi thriller is one of the best to be release in the last year! The story was great! I especially liked how the story and characters were introduced and how the movie didn't let out all the secrets right away. I thought the main characters did a fantastic job. Some plot and story holes exist, but it doesn't take away from the movie. It goes to show you that you don't need to spend big bucks on a SciFi movie to make it interesting or exciting.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sleeper of The Year
Review: I went into this flick not expecting much. But, right from the start I was glued to ths edge of my seat. It's a cool, well written, well directed and well acted thrill ride. Clearly the best sci-fi horror flick since Aliens.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Almost as bad as Battlefield Earth!
Review: Just off the top of my head, here is a list of impossible or very stupid things that happen in this mindless rip-off of the Alien series: 1 - a trinary star system with multiple planets in seemingly stable orbits (at least they were stable enough for life to develop). 2 - a starship flying through the emptiness of space on autopilot, happens to end up a stone's throw away from not one, but TWO large planets. To top that off, not even a single beep from the computer to warn the human crew about this dangerous course. 3 - in one of those great examples of Hollywood's "what can we do to establish that this is a 'SCI-FI' movie without bothering to do any tedious research, or actually having to come up with a culture for these people to live in?" thinking, one of the planets has a ring near its north pole. I would be grateful if the writer would explain to me how something like this happens. 4 - how exactly did these creatures manage to wipe out every trace of life on the planet, working on a ten-hour day once every twenty years? And what have they been living on since then? 5 - how did a creature that's deathly afraid of the light manage to become a top player on this world in the first place? ........ Please don't bother telling me these are minor plot holes. They aren't. I won't even go into the minor plot holes right now. The physics of the planetary system basically ARE the premise of the story, so it would have been nice if somebody had stopped to think about them. Maybe about fifty years ago this kind of story would have been accepted as SF, but we know a lot more these days. You can't just make things up and say "hey, it's sci-fi." This is not a science fiction movie. It's a horror movie, and a pretty dumb one too. It uses every one of the standard superpredator movie shots, included heavy-handed misuse of the Creature POV "isn't it cool how the creature visualizes differently from a human" shot. All the usual people die for all the usual reasons, no surprises and no emotional involvement.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: VISUALS
Review: I saw this 4 times in the theater. Its such a cool sci fi flick. Aliens is my #1 movie of all time and nothing can compete with it...but this one comes pretty damn close.

Put everything in the movie aside for a second and just notice the visuals. Not necessarily the special effects, but the visuals. I just remember how the desert scenes had all the highlights blown out, it was so blaring and bright in the theater....with a yellow tinge. And then cyan later...it was like some kind of film experiment it seemed like. Its so incredible. Ive never seen anything like it before.

The crash scene in the beginning is increible too. Very intense and realistic. I felt like i was crashing with them. Theres subtle things to it. I remember the camera going from the girl's eye to the crash, and back again....and the sound drops out....and hits you again...and drops out. Very very intense.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Creepy Sci-Fi Fun!
Review: The buzz surrounding this sci-fi horror flick was uniformly strong here in L.A. earlier this year, and my friends and I weren't disappointed when we went to the theater. For a genre picture with no stars, it's better than you'd expect, with fiendish, dinosaurlike monsters and hold-your-breath suspense.
