A sci-fi/horror sleeper hit that birthed a franchise and launched the career of a new action movie icon, Pitch Black holds its own today as a nerve-shredding creature-feature in which the monsters outside finally meet their match against a monster within. When an intergalactic transport ship crashes on a remote desert planet with no sign of help on the horizon, the survivors, led by Fry (Radha Mitchell), band together to find a way back home. Among the passengers is Riddick (Vin Diesel), a convicted murderer being transported by marshal Johns (Cole Hauser) - and now freed of his chains and on the loose. But as a solar eclipse plunges the planet into total darkness, a threat even worse than Riddick reveals itself, and the last humans standing may have to form an uneasy truce with the cunning fugitive (whose eyes have been surgically altered to see in the dark) to last the long night. Boasting crackerjack direction and a whip-smart script by David Twohy, as well as a star-making performance by Diesel, Riddick's first outing is freshly unleashed in an illuminating, brand new 4K restoration, with hours of exclusive bonus content.

Press Quotes

Arrow continues to curate a hugely appealing slate of releases, and their entry into the 4K UHD sweepstakes certainly has a number of fans (including yours truly) understandably excited. This is another fantastic release from the label, one with superior technical aspects and absolutely top notch supplements. Highly recommended.

     —Blu-ray.com

This is a great little sci-fi gem, with an original story and compelling characters. It's never looked better than it does here in 4K Ultra HD from Arrow Video. The disc is worth the upgrade for fans. Recommended.

     —The Digital Bits

Arrow’s 4K restoration and presentation really delivers. Overall, Arrow makes a very strong 4K debut with this edition.

     —Criterion Forum

The highly-stylized space western crash lands on 4K Ultra HD with an excellent Dolby Vision HDR presentation, showing a dramatic upgrade from its HD predecessors. With a few new supplements for fans to sift through, the overall UHD package makes a recommended addition to the library.

     —High-Def Digest

A stunning Dolby Vision-enhanced native 4K presentation, and an utterly comprehensive selection of extras which actually make it onto the 4K disc itself. Fans should consider it an absolute must-have, and Arrow have done us proud with their first 4K disc.

     —AV Forums

The movie’s use of bright sunny sequences and inky darkness is exactly the type of content ideal to demonstrate what High Dynamic Range (HDR) can offer cinephiles. The result is a gorgeous image that really brings this movie alive in a way I don’t remember from when I last saw it.
