Bigger isn't always better, but for anyone who enjoyed Pitch Black, a nominal sequel like The Chronicles of Riddick should prove adequately entertaining. Writer-director David Twohy returns with expansive sets, detailed costumes, an army of CGI effects artists, and the star he helped launch--Vin Diesel--bearing his franchise burden quite nicely as he reprises his title role. The Furian renegade Riddick has another bounty on his head, but when he escapes from his mercenary captors, he's plunged into an epic-scale war waged by the Necromongers. A fascist master race led by Lord Marshal (Colm Feore), they're determined to conquer all enemies in their quest for the Underverse, the appeal of which is largely unexplained (since Twohy is presumably reserving details for subsequent "chronicles"). With tissue-thin plotting, scant character development, and skimpy roles that waste the talents of Thandie Newton (as a Necromonger conspirator) and Judi Dench (as a wispy "Elemental" priestess), Twohy's back in the B-movie territory he started in (with The Arrival), brought to vivid life on a vast digital landscape with the conceptual allure of a lavish graphic novel. But does Riddick have leadership skills on his resumé? To get an answer to that question, sci-fi fans will welcome another sequelRead full review
EXCELLENT! Vin Diseal shines in this movie. More action sequences and suspense in the galactic universe promotes a polished film. Good Replay Value. 5 out of 5 Please vote for the effectiveness of my reviews thank you
I liked the action and special effects. I decided to buy it to see the effects in high def, and it was worth it! I thought it was to contrived, and not really a sequel at all. It wasn't as good as Pitch Black, but I dig the special effects.
Excellent fim with execelent actors. A story that keeps our attention for the whole time. Very recomended for those who apreciate quality
I bought it because a love the enviroment and the story of the movie, and of course because is in hddvd. I love the fact that i can see every detail of this gigantic movie in special effects. I really don't dislike anything of this product.
A great action flick with a nice story, wouldn't call it a tour de force, but it is worth watching for great fights.
Saw it for the first time on tv. Don't know how I missed it, but bought the dvd. Good movie, can watch it more than once.
