I have to agree. Just because the special effects are possible and easy to achieve, doesn't automatically mean we should be substituting them for story line.
I don't think I will be adding this to my collection.

Well, this one will be short but not too sweet.
Pitch Black was kinda funky. Dark Fury (animated Chronicles of Riddick series movie) was also kinda cool, but this one was quite disappointing really.
The special effects were top-notch, but that is actually quite normal these days. The toys grow ever bigger, ever smarter, and ever easier to use, so sad spfx are just not on the market any more.
Overall... I think I wasted my money. I plan to get Pitch Black on DVD, but only because I liked the aliens. I won't be getting this on DVD unless it drops below $15 I think. $10 by preference.
