    I really like this movie, by far one of my favorites. The camera placing was expert, the acting fenominal, and the story line was hard to resist. There are also sequals to this movie, the second one is titled 'The Chronicals of Riddick'. I also hear rumors of a third sequal to pitch black, 'The Chronicals of Riddick: Return to Furia' definetly a great set of movies, propts to director David Twohy and actor Vin Diesel.
