Naturally, evolution would permit creatures who are able to travel long distances quickly to hunt for food and then rapidly return to their subterranean caverns. I imagine there could have been a few generations of really fast sprinting monsters, however the scorching 3 suns probably canceled out their evolution fairly quickly. Flying is faster and more efficient than sprinting, The initial climb is calorically taxing, however being able to use gravity/air currents and glide long distances saves a lot more energy and time.

This movie was a great example of a science fiction action flick, and deserves a place up there with other classic actions and science fictions. Gun fights, macho attitudes, butting heads, the occasional big boom or two, with an iconic leading man. A while bunch of surface things that make Die Hard so attractive and capable of having meat to it. Space travel, foreign alien worlds, limited resources, hostile native threat. I'd say this deserves a spot next to the Aliens franchise Even though so much of the movie takes place outside, it's the middle of the desert where's there's no place to really hide, and the scenes in darkness cause the party to huddle up and stay together, giving the same effect of close-quarters horror and tension without actually being in close-quarters. It's just brilliantly done and I could gush about this movie forever.

Pitch Black was cheesy as hell but holy shit, did it have THE BEST cinematography in the first half of the movie I think I've ever seen. The multiple suns casting the most bizarre light patterns and the coolest color changing I've ever seen in any movie. The suns were different colors and changed the background, overbearing lighting in every scene. I saw this in the theaters and it was something incredible to behold. The audience collectively gasped when the the planet crossed in front of all the suns and darkness started coming. Absolutely sublime. The acting was passable and the anti-hero Riddick makes his first movie appearance but this film was in a class of its own for the camera work and special effects alone.

@hstone39

I agree, seeing this in the movie theater during the time it came out was really impressive. The storyline was really captivating.

Gotta admit - the pitch black t-head creatures were scary looking. Whoever dreamed those up had a vivid imagination and a warped concept of things that go bump in the night! Good stuff.

I saw this at the movies. I loved it so much. I can't count how many times I've watched it.

Fr I miss movies with that feeling. Idk how but everything produced nowadays feels so artificial to me and nothing beats the classic movie plots and storytelling. I think that's a major reason movies feel artificial today, it's like they're recycling the same plots and characters but without the emotions involved. Or maybe I just grew up and I see movies as they are, to produce money for the people behind the movie. Before I thought they were magical in the same sort of way a book can transport you into the author's imagination but now it's not even about the creativity anymore, it really just feels like it's about the money.

The most badass line Riddick gave in this movie was when Jack is being attacked by one of those creatures and Riddick manages to catch it's hands and cut his stomach then breaks it's neck and says " Did not know who it was F***ing with"

For me, one of the more memorable scenes from the movie is from 13:50, when Carolyn gets stabbed & dragged into the darkness, with Riddick watching in shock, saying "Not for me... Not for me!" Meaning that Carolyn wasn't "meant" to die for trying and help Riddick get back into the ship. That scene is as powerful as it is because of how well the characters were written.

Pitch Black is a classic. The move that first introduced Vin Diesel as anti-hero Richard B. Riddick. Riddick is a mix of John Rambo. Snake Plissken and Conan.
