The Chronicles of Riddick (2004)

This movie was so different than its predecessor, that some didn't believe it was a "true sequel." But it is, and there is a grand change in action. It moves from fighting some aliens on a deserted planet, to resisting the strongest force in the galaxy.

You'll see some cool new planets, new technology, and new people that fit into the "Riddick Universe" that is being established through movies, anime, and video games.

Riddick = Badass.
This movie = One of my favorites.
You should watch it, if you haven't already.

The movie that caused controversey in Vin Diesel's acting career may have gotten this film more publicity than it deserved (he did not want to do the film but signed a contract to do a sequel before filming Pitch Black). Regardless, Vin Diesel is one badass motherf*cker (BAMF) and the action sequences largely support the stigma of his character. The plot is a little thin and I have some problems with the overall "story" (or lack there of) as I just couldn't comprehend the point and how it relates to Pitch Black. As an action film, it is what it is, very entertaining, but don't look for much more than face value.

Necromongers are a curious combination of true believers and forced believers. Someone commented somewhere that they are like the Borg and they are...conquering world after world and converting them to their way of thinking. If you don't join them you die. They've left the end at a place that could lead to a very interesting sequel if they ever decide to do so. I've always liked the Riddick character and would lov...Read more
