Advantages: different from the normal comedy and horrors, clever ideas

Disadvantages: bad storyline, predictable

Alien Films recently seem to be lacking something, the certain mysterious unpredictable buzz that used to feature on the very best supernatural films. Although my friend and I decided to take the risk and attempt to sit though the new alien flick 'Pitch Black'. The basic storyline is that a type of spaceship carrying passengers make an impossible landing on an unknown planet. The planet has deadly creatures in the form of bat and spider-like creatures which can only appear in the dark. The crew (complete with convicted murderer turn hero) now have to face the eclipse. They struggle to find power cells and to transport them to the ship without a run in with thier creatures. This film has a clever way of adding in the old fear of the dark. I think this film is more for younger children, Although the brief and attetion-seeking moments keep you fixed its definitly not a film that i would see again or suggest to a friend.
