Some days its 3pm, I'm still hung over, and I just want to watch cheesy science fiction movies and watch stuff blow up. On those days, Supernova still can't cut it, but Pitch Black can.

Features some lovingly crafted effects -- notably director of photography David Eggby's bleached colour palette -- and some vivid characterisation.

[It] may be another Alien rip-off, but it's a rip-off with class, style and a lot of heart.

It may not be original, but it is smart. More importantly, it's scary.
