Pitch Black 2000

Riddick is an interesting anti-hero. There's not a lot of background about him. He's strong, skilled and especially unpredictable. He has an effective way of gauging the true motivations and moralities of the rest of the survivors. Those survivors are not nearly as interesting as Riddick is, but none of them, other than Captain Carolyn, have the screen time to be.

The planet they crash land on and its location within its solar system looks very cool and is critical to the story. The survivors do a lot of wandering around and it's a bit frustrating because it's hard to understand the layout of the area which becomes quite important in the final act. By the way, that final act and the quest that the survivors embark upon goes on way too long. The CGI is hit or miss, but this film has been around a while so it's understandable. An extra point for the presence of Keith David!
