Movie: Pitch Black
Main Actors: Vin Diesel, Radha Mitchell and Cole Hauser
MPAA Rating: R
Passionate Expressions: There are some of these
Useless Vulgar Language: Not as many of these as I was expecting, the ones that were there were used as catchphrases.
Sex in a Good Light: There is very little sex in this movie
Sex in a Bad Light: Some sexually charged scenes, but nothing that is worth mentioning.
Manly Violence: A good amount of this
Action Violence: Surprisingly not much of this because most of the movie takes place in the dark. What a great way to save on your special effects budget
Pointless Violence: Also not much, the gore was turned way down from what I was expecting. Still, it is a movie about killer aliens so watcher beware.
Manly Rating: B

Review: This is an awesome Sci-Fi movie. Good story, driven plot-line, enough side stories to keep it interesting but not enough to overwhelm it. First time I saw Vin Diesel act and I thought he was awesome. The writers did a good job making it a bit more then a pure action movie by having all the characters react in different ways to their situation and were smart enough to not have all of them act like idiots. I found the performances and ideas portrayed believable and I was happy to see that the crooked cop was not actually a cop but a Merk. There was a little bit of confusion surrounding Vin Diesel's character; is he good, is he bad and I think this was intentional. I think their goal with his character was to make him mysterious and a bit scary (even if you don’t know why) and they succeeded. Overall, good Sci-Fi movie that was made for men.
Life Lessons: Beware muscular bald men with goggles and always know who you are messing with.
Summary: Great movie that is fun to watch at night in the dark.
Would I Watch This Again: Absolutely
