In this science fiction thriller, a spaceship is transporting a disparate group of people to a far-away galactic outpost called New Mecca. Mechanical failures cause the craft to crash-land on an abandoned planet that has three suns and no night. The only member of the crew to survive is junior pilot Carolyn Fry (Radha Mitchell), while the passengers who climb from the wreckage include a police officer (Cole Hauser) and the prisoner he's transporting, Riddick (Vin Diesel). As Fry and the other survivors survey the abandoned dwellings of the desert world while trying to decide what to do next, one of them is killed by a mutant creature living in an abandoned mining site. The vicious and bloodthirsty mutants, who live underground, have killed all previous inhabitants of the planet; they cannot stand sunlight, but research reveals that the planet has a total eclipse every 22 years, and the latest one is due any moment. Pitch Black was directed by David N. Twohy, who also made the sci-fi cult item, The Arrival. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

David Twohy's sci-fi-action sleeper hit comes to DVD with this feature-rich release. Not only are fans treated to a making-of featurette, theatrical trailers, and the Raveworld Pitch Black Event, but they also get not one, but two audio commentary tracks. The first commentary track features director Twohy along with actors Vin Diesel and Cole Hauser, while the other includes Twohy with producer Tom Engelman and visual effects supervisor Peter Chiang. The disc doesn't waste time with pan-and-scan transfers either, opting for a lone widescreen 2.35:1 anamorphic transfer. The impressive transfer is complimented by two English audio tracks in Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1. French subtitles are also available. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide
