Pitch Black
Sci-fi fans buckle up, you're in for one far out thrill ride that will glue your eyes to the screen and your butts to the edge of your seats. Reminiscent of Alien, fans of that series are in for something fresh and exciting as we board the Hunter Gratzner, a transport ship on auto pilot, traveling across the vastness of space.
Crew and passengers deep asleep in cryo, the ship crosses paths with a rogue comet, its debris bombarding the ship and leaving it hurling towards a nearby planet.
Crash landing, the surviving crew and passengers discover a barren world with three suns and never-ending daylight. Disappointed in the lack of night's cool and refreshing break from the suns' blaze, a 22-year astronomical event soon has the planet eclipsed by a nearby planet and in "Pitch Black." Now the suns couldn't let their light shine soon enough as from below the planet's surface erupts a terrifying plague of flying nightmares.
Although dark by nature, Pitch Black blazes across the screen with all the incredible special effects and camera work needed to support a great story and give birth to a whole new generation of sci-fi thrillers. This could very well be the Alien or Predator series of the new millennium.
