If I remember right Pitch Black wasn't a tidally locked planet, but rather an _extended_ eclipsed caused by the other planets in their stellar system.
Astronomy nerdship aside, I loved Pitch Black. Such a good movie. I haven't watched any of the sequels, though.
The first game that they released, surprisingly for a movie to game adaptation, was also quite good.
- SmurfJuggler 10y agoThat's because Vin Diesel is a gamer and didn't want games starting him to be run-of-the-mill movie tie/cash-ins, so he founded Tigon and tasked them with making good ones. Fabulously geeky dude, I like his style.
- someone7x 10y agoYes, Escape From Butcher Bay. A gem of game from the first-gen xbox era. Not sure if it holds up, but at the time it was a very high quality release.
- euyyn 10y agoI loved the sequel myself.
- epimetheus 10y agoPitch Black's planet situation reminded me of Nightfall (Asimov/Silverberg)[0], though there weren't six suns like in the book, and the occurrence of the "night" in the movie seemed to be shorter increments?
