Customer Ratings & Reviews

Vince Diesel's first movie pretty good too. Very good story.

Lots of actions and lots of science fictions which I love.

Had this on DVD and wanted to grab it on Blu Ray to complete my Riddick collection. Can't beat the price!

A fantastic movie would recommend to everyone to enjoy

I purchased this Blu-ray for my daughter, her fiance, and my granddaughter. They really liked it.

I love the Chronicles of Riddick series! Vin Diesel delivers a superb performance.

Good horror movie with action from the beginning to the end

Great movie good action bought again for the steelbook

old but good. like the action and plot. pretty cool idea

I loved Pitch Black cause its a sci-fi/horror mix and i loved the plot. Stuck in a back water planet with monsters after you and your only hope is a killer. Very simple and gets to the point and its the steel case edition. I personally didnt like the sequels.

Pretty underwhelming. Bought this movie to watch on my OLED TV because I remembered it being very dark and thought that it would be perfect for the TV's true black capabilities. However, the movie never even gets dark enough for the OLED to make a difference and it also has some pretty atrocious film grain. The box is also super flimsy.

Decent upscaling of original film. Some grainy scenes. To be expected with the colors of the reference film. Overall pretty good.

I believe this is the first one that came out but there are two more(?). Of course when they made the movies they weren't in order.So this is either the last to second one.

Older show not bad .deals with the future not bad show

classic movie but not much improvement in 4k. save your money

This movie is a little difficult hard to understand but part of Riddick

I love VIN DIESEL> I'm glad that Riddick's character was so well written for him. Origional SCI-Fi plot. Everyone did a very good job acting. They didn't seem like they were acting. Movie was well cast. However CGI monsters created By Pactick T. didn't have enough realism. They needed a bigger budget to let this verrrry creative man let his monsters really come to life. ALSO... studios should have let Director's cut of "Chronicles of Riddick" been released into theaters so the it could have really been appreciated. Now I had to wait all these years for the sequel of "The Chronicles of Riddick" to come out this September. Which might have meant a bigger budget 4 the 3rd Riddick character movie and maybe the plot might have shown Riddick going back to planet Furia with the Necromongers in tow with Riddick as the Lord Marshall.

Awesome Sci-FI / Horror Flick A must see if you like the Genre and to correct JimG944s Review its actually the First in the Riddick series since it came out in 2000 and Chronicles of Riddick Hit the Theatres in 2004 as noted by the item descriptions above lol. Basically Ignore where he says "If you didn't see the first movie of the Riddick series you'd have no idea who this guy is and why he has shiny eyes" they give you a short and kind of nonsensical reason why his Eyes shine in this movie .... since it is the first one. Definitaly a good visceral Sci Fi movie. If you like this one you will definitaly want to check out the second one since it explains alot more of his past.

This movie is excellent science fiction, suspense, and horror that catches you completely off-guard. It's an Australian film, so it pulls out all the stops that ridiculous US filmmakers have been putting in for decades now. I'd watch just about anything by this director now, as long as he builds his films with the intensity and invokes provocative characters like this film. This is one of Vin Diesel's first feature films, but his on-screen presence in this movie is far greater than most of his movies. His character steals the show, an anti-hero: a mass murdering maniac whose eyes are "shined" to give him night vision--and the whole time the audience wonders if he will have some sort of redeeming quality. The aliens are early CG creations but are done well with what was available at the time of production. This film will blow your mind if you like Alien, Aliens, Terminator 1 or 2, or Predator.

I never watched this movie till I bought it in this Blue-Ray format. I would highly recommend this movie for people who like sci-fi / suspense / horror. The plot isn't very complicated, but the cinemetography is as good as it gets for this type of film. The camera angles, lighting, and colors were well thought out in the production. Much to my suprise, VinDiesel did an excellent job as Riddick, as well did all the other actors. Several times durring the BlueRay Disc there are problems with the audio and video being out of sync. They have both theatrical and directors cut versions on the disc, which I suspect attribute to the problems. I would have expected someone from the disc manufaturer to actually watch the completed disc before releasing it. It is possible that I have hardware "lagging" problems , but the audio problems always occur at the same point (and correct at the same point) on the disc. Also, I have not had any audio problem with the 20+ other BDiscs I have watched. Yes, my firmware is up to date on the BD player. Reguardless, I enjoyed watching this movie, and would still recommend this disc if it on sale. If you can get past the audio sync issues (as annoying as they can be), you should get this disc. I have not seen the DVD version which I am sure does not have this problem. If you like this movie, I highly recommend "The Chronicles of Riddick" which is the sequel to this movie. I had NO problems with audio in this release.
