About "Pitch Black", I found that by lowering the "Sharpness" on my TV set (42" Panasonic Plasma), it really improves the "black" scenes. The first time I watched it, I also thought that it looked pretty bad, but after some tweaking on my TV, it really improved the way it looks.

Unfortunately this is one of the worst transfers I've seen from Universal. It has a lot of grain in select scenes & while these are not too distracting from the movie itself, this is something that should have been looked at more closely from authors who encoded this disc. Other than film grain, I noticed simular artifacts that we see with SD transfers. I'd say 30% of the video transfer could have been extremely improved, ahh well. Aside from those scenes which make me cringe, everything else shouts out Top Quality HD. I mean there are lots of scenes which really show off the artistic style & color palate used + the CGI never looks phoney. Overall, I was disappointed while watching Pitch Black as the PQ quality isn't consistent throughout. The Audio is aggressive, surrounds & mains boom, but there is one channel missing this quality which just so happens to be the most important.. the center channel output is weak. Other than that flaw, the audio throughout is consistent.
