Pitch Black (2000) Unrated DC *DTS* *NTSC* - DVDRIP - ThP

Oh boy... When your NFO says the movie runtime is 81 mins (it's actually 112 mins), Downsampled - Yes, and the only things that was cut from the DVD are the 5.1 sound, you know your there is potential trouble brewing.

I was looking forward to this version for a while now. Unfortunately THP got to it first. I really don't know what they are thinking keeping only the DTS, when there have been flames of anger last time someone did that (PAL version of Mindhunters). Personally for me, 99.9% of the time 5.1 is good enough. But I know alot of people (including most of my friends) don't have DTS decoders. So this really is a speciality release catering to a smaller group of people.

"everything else is here" is another line that scares me. This thing is supposed to have a lot of extras and the movie is a pretty heafty 112 mins + DTS track. I bet this is not even a CCE encode. When it is a CCE encode, people make an effort to mention something as important as that in the NFO.

I am personally going to trust my instinct on this one and stay away. The video store is 5 mins away from me, I'll rip it myself. If the price is right ($18-22), I'll just buy it and save the 10 hours.

The movie is great though!! Not sure what to think of the new one coming out in theatres (Chron. Of Riddick), but this one is definintely worth a watch. So if you're not picky download this release, or rent it for sure! Older movie (1999), but still a classic.

Ya definatly a dvdshrink release no doubt, pitch black doesnt mean gray squares inside the black scenes. Total garbage.

The DVD doesn't look that bad here. I have DTS so I even prefer it.
