Usually I have great expectations for Vin and his SciFi movies... Pitch Black was great. With this movie... the action was supercharged, but the story inched toward predictable and bland. I expected a thing and I got a thing, so no edge-of-your-seat theatrics. I did enjoy the movie, and happily display it next to the rest of my Near-Future SciFi's... and I'm eager for a sequel, which it needs. This movie needs a sequel to give it the "happy ending" it needs. I should give it three stars, but settled for four, since it is Vin Diesel.
