"Pitch Black" released 2000


There are worse ways of spending two hours than watching Vin Diesel in his breakout role in the movie Pitch Black, released February 18, 2000.  The story follows a group of survivors who have crash landed on a desert planet with three suns.  They soon find out every 22 years, the planet undergoes a total eclipse, plunging it in complete darkeness for two months.  And a host of carnivours creatures come out in the night to feast on anything they can find.

Although it received mixed reviews from the critics, Pitch Black was a box office success and won two awards from the Australian Cinematographers Society.  It was nominated for a Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction movie.
