Pitch Black is a good sci-fi film, as a fan of the genre I really enjoyed it. The story is one that has been done more times than I can count, a ship crashes on a baron planet. The thing that makes Pitch Black worth watching is the characters, fot the creatures are not that impressive. You have your space cop, master criminal, holy man, troubled ship pilot, and your required character with a sense of humor. The film is well directed, and overall is suspenseful. There are two dvd versions, the unrated and rated. The unrated version is much better, it restores scenes cut for time(it only adds a few seconds of violence and gore). The scenes cut for time I thought were important, and it adds greatly to the character development. The transfer is Anamorphic widescreen, and this is one best I've seen. The film is very dark and uses a long list of colors, but all the images come through perfect. Images are sharp, detailed, and near perfect. The audio has both Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS tracks. The DTS will give your subwoofer a workout, and at moments is thunderous. The Dolby Track is very good also, but I thought both tracks could have been a better surround experience(The rear speakers could have been used more). The extras include 2 commentaries, (the track with the actors is fun to listen to), theatrical trailer, production notes, the standard "Making of"(which is basically a extended trailer). My ratings out of 5 stars:
Film-****
Transfer-*****
Audio-****1/2
Extras-***

As for Highlander Endgame: mediocre movie, terrific DVD. It looks and sounds great, and the extras added a lot to the experience. Here's a link to my full review:
