Pitch Black - Planet der Finsternis Rezensionen & Wertungen
- Jeff Collins15. November 2024better than expected
- mickerdoo17. März 2026Super solid sci-fi. Liked the idea and design. Didn’t love the overexposure day but nights looked good. Diesel is cool. Mitchell grew on me.
- Richard19. Oktober 2025Before Chronicles of Riddick went full space opera and Riddick tried to reboot the grit, there was Pitch Black, a lean, mean survival thriller that snuck into the year 2000 like a low budget comet and left a crater of cult fandom in its wake. And yes, I own it on DVD, because some movies deserve shelf space just for their atmosphere. The setup is simple: a transport ship crash lands on a desert planet with three suns, a ragtag crew and one very dangerous convict: Richard B. Riddick, played with gravelly charm by Vin Diesel. When an eclipse plunges the planet into darkness, the real threat emerges: bloodthirsty creatures that hunt in the shadows. Cue the flashlights, flares and moral dilemmas. The film’s strength isn’t just the creatures, hough they’re delightfully nasty, it’s the tension, the lighting and the way it plays with perception. Riddick’s glowing eyes aren’t just a gimmick; they’re a survival tool, a metaphor and a marketing hook all rolled into one. The cinematography leans into saturated colors and eerie silhouettes, making the most of its budget with style. A sci-fi horror gem that proves you don’t need a massive budget to build suspense. Pitch Black is atmospheric, brutal and surprisingly thoughtful, with Vin Diesel growling his way into antihero legend. On DVD, it’s a must own for fans of survival horror, creature features and dimly lit brilliance.
- ርልዪረ24. Februar 2026🌒While most movies that pit humans against horrendous extra terrestrials end up being cheap imitations of the 'Aliens' series, Pitch Black stands as a fine piece of Sci-Fi, and an excellent movie all around. Perhaps my favorite aspect of the film is the lighting. This movie beautifully employs many different colors, shades and intensities of light which set the mood and lend a unique feeling to the film itself, something different than the 'normal' movie lighting we are generally subjected to. Vin Diesel brings his character to life in an excellent manner, skillfully avoiding the routine portrayal of the hardened criminal. After all, the film is about Riddick's (Diesel's character) personal journey, so thankfully Vin doesn't drop the ball. The remainder of the cast (with the exception of the talented and gorgeous Claudia Black) were unknown to me but all turned in marvelous performances, animating the diverse characters with unique quirks and mannerisms. Pitch Black is a perfect example of making a great film with out the resources of an excessive budget. The special effects are more than adequate, but at the same time they are by no means the sole focus, as in many high budget 'blockbusters'. It's a great movie because it uses Science Fiction as a medium to tell an engaging, provoking story, rather then telling a mediocre story to use the flash of Science Fiction.
- tellum20. August 2025Cool visuals and a suave Vin make for a memorable scifi movie. Some silly concepts but they are portrayed in earnest making the movie better than you’d think.
- ray.wo329. Dezember 2025One of my favs
- Gianni Cavuoto8. Dezember 2025This movie is a nice first installment to the Riddick series. Not a bad movie for a lower budget film. It's definitely worth the watch and see where it all started.
- Razorbitz29. November 2025I love this stupid, wonderful movie. Riddick at his finest form and a great monster to boot. I have no idea why the idiots who made this bleached this movie in the sun but it was the right choice; no other film looks quite like it.
- Amateur Wizard8. Oktober 2025Fun movie from before action was riddled with cliches.
- Mr. D25. September 20254k improves this movie substantially. Especially if you're running through the whole trilogy. Used to leave it out when watching the series cause it was too dark and sucked. DTS-HDMA+4K? ✅️
- disulfiram19. September 2025Hasn't aged well, but it's still a decent watch
- Spencer MB15. September 2025*Got the 4K remaster copy. Having learned about the process of filming and creating this movie and its sequels, it's incredible that these even got made. This first one perfectly balances horror, comedy and drama that has a pretty amazing payoff. There's a few shots in this that are hilarious.
