Blu B I like it better than Chronicles and is defintely more in line with the first, but that's still not saying much. Oddly enough even though I like this more, it feels more forgettable in a way than Chronicles. Everything is just alright. The strongest part is the first 20 minutes showing Riddick suriviving on the desolate planet but it just becomes very forgettable when the mercenary gang lands and becomes the main focus. They all pretty much just blend in aside from a psycho and a girl being the only standout traits. Riddick just straight disappears in the middle and it just ins't as interesting. In a way you could cut the opening with Riddick and just start with the space marines and not much is lost. It also sometimes gets so dark in the second half you can barely see it and the CGI is terrible overall. Things this does get right is it trades mindless fast paced action for a slow burn survival story at first. Than becomes like the space marines in Aliens investigating and becomes more of a horror surival like the first one. It tries to merge these 3 aspects together and it isn't the most cohesive thing in the world but it works enough. It still feels like 3 completely different films though. The slow burn, immersion in the world, and the horror elements are positives and defintely the strong sits here. Riddick is alright but doesn't really have much character devlopment. In a sense this is sort of like a repeat of the first in certain aspects. While more in line it still isn't anything special. Most people could skip this. Just stick to the first. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/02/24 Full Review Sean S I know this movie isn't perfect, but it's unpredictable and action packed, I re-watch it every couple years! It's got a bit of everything, he befriends a dog, makes you want to protect the woman, revenge on the bad guys, battles monsters, etc. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/20/24 Full Review alan g Fitting end to the trilogy. Wish there was more. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Tina K Really cool other-world set, creatures and costume design. I appreciate that VD talks slowly and carefully otherwise I wouldn't understand what he's saying with his Jersey? accent.
