Todd Hewitt (Tom Holland) grew up in a dystopia where a pestilence eradicated all females-and left the males subject to "the Noise," an unceasing telepathic cacophony of one another's thoughts. Drawn to an unusual patch of quietude, he discovered it stemmed from crash-landed woman Viola Eade (Daisy Ridley)-and he'd have a fight for their survival, and to learn the truth about his society. Doug Liman's take on the Patrick Ness YA fiction co-stars Mads Mikkelsen, Demi~n Bichir, Nick Jonas. 109 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

THERE'S A NEW REASON TO BE AFRAID OF THE DARK. A sci-fi/horror sleeper hit that birthed a franchise and launched the career of a new action movie icon, Pitch Black holds it's own today as a nerve-shredding creature-feature in which the monsters outside finally meet their match against a monster within. When an intergalactic transport ship crashes on a remote desert planet with no sign of help on the horizon, the survivors, led by Fry (Radha Mitchell), band together to find a way back home. Among the passengers is Riddick (Vin Diesel), a convicted murderer being transported by marshal Johns (Cole Hauser) - and now freed of his chains and on the loose. But as a solar eclipse plunges the planet into total darkness, a threat even worse than Riddick reveals itself, and the last humans standing may have to form an uneasy truce with the cunning fugitive (whose eyes have been surgically altered to see in the dark) to last the long night. Boasting crackerjack direction and a whip-smart script by David Twohy, as well as a star-making performance by Diesel, Riddick's first outing is freshly unleashed in an illuminating, brand new 4K restoration, with hours of exclusive bonus content.
