Reviews:

nice movie

**(Note: This review is of the theatrical version, I have seen the uncut version and it is an improvement, but have not reviewed that edition)**

In this latest incarnation, Riddick goes boldly goes where no previous entry has gone before: Nowhere.

Say what you will about the previous film (_Chronicles of Riddick_) at least it had the guts to take some risks. Sure, almost all of those ended up being complete misfires, but they were still taken. Riddick on the other hand plays it safe. It’s a path not entirely without benefit, but one that was not expected from the series spawned by Australian cult-classic _Pitch Black_.

Shoot me for saying it but I’m actually a huge fan of Davind Twohy (_The Arrival, Waterworld, G.I. Jane, A Perfect Getaway_) so I actually sort of hoped for more from the piece. Sure _Chronicles_ was silly and disjointed, sure _Dark Fury_ was totally unnecessary and _Dark Athena/Butcher Bay_ were only intermittently decent, but overall the Riddick franchise will always be compared to _Pitch Black_, and against this prodigy, the latest movie is simply subpar.

The Necromonger storyline has been all but dropped, any connections to previous characters (sans Riddick) are completely unbelievable and the events are a shameless rip off of the first film. Seeing a more “survivalist” and intelligent Riddick is nice, as it’s always been sort of more insinuated than outright shown. The entire world that the events of the film take place on is even moderately interesting, and none of the actors or characters are outright let downs, but overall Riddick falls much closer to the “barely watchable” category than the “brilliant” one.

It’s “cool”, it’s pretty and it’s most certainly entertaining, but it’s not new, it’s not clever, and it’s most certainly not as good as _Pitch Black_.

Riddick: Crippled by one poorly chosen scene
I’ve been unimpressed by the Riddick franchise, I think Pitch Black (2000) was both where it started and it peaked.

This final entry was rather a surprise, who’d have thought that they’d have made another movie considering how badly Chronicles of Riddick (2004) bombed? Partially funded by Diesel himself it’s hard to argue his commitment to the project.

So almost a decade after the last full entry (Not including the animations) we pick up where we left off. Riddick is Grand Marshall of the Necromongers but things quickly go south after they turn on him and leave him for dead.

The plot is actually sound as is the general creation of the movie. I found myself impressed which I certainly didn’t expect. The movie is more akin with Pitch Black than Chronicles of Riddick, they clearly went back to the drawing board and the movie is considerably better for it.

On a budget out about quarter of the previous movie it’s shocking just how much better it all looks, in fact every aspect is superior. Also starring the excellent Katee Sackhoff I was gripped more than I had been since the first movie, it was really quite enjoyable.

Fairly early on however I was hoping that a certain death wouldn’t occur, I knew if it did then the movie would be damaged beyond repair and about halfway through my fear materialised. Had this event not transpired you’d have me just ranting about how much of a wonderful surprise Riddick was and how much I enjoyed it. Instead I’ll say it’s the second best movie in the franchise, but should have been the best. Poor decision making killed the film and has left it merely passable.

Good addition despite the hefty flaw.

The Good:

Katee Sackhoff

Looks considerably better than the previous film which had 4 times the budget

Well played out story

The Bad:

“That” death should not have happened

Sets up for a sequel that will never come

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Even in the future on other planets people are stupid enough to smoke

A solid return for Riddick
Having been betrayed Riddick is left for dead on a sun scorched desert planet. He isn’t entirely alone though; there are plenty of dangerous creatures who see him as a tasty snack. He fights past these, and even makes a pet of one doglike creature before finding an abandoned outpost where he activates an emergency beacon. Two ships respond; the first a group of mercenaries who wand Riddick’s head for the reward, the second captained by a man who wants Riddick for more person reasons. These two groups don’t initially want to work together but after Riddick reduces their numbers somewhat they are forced to. They don’t realise that there are more dangerous things than Riddick on the planet until after he removes their ability to leave.

After the slightly disappointing ‘Chronicles of Riddick’ this film is a return to form. It has a similar central idea to ‘Pitch Black’; namely a small group of people on a planet with dangerous creatures which predominantly appear under certain conditions. It starts well with Riddick surviving against various creatures and befriending his ‘dog’. When the mercenaries arrive they become the centre of attention rather than Riddick which was a pity as they were a fairly cliché group of hard-men, and one woman, who are constantly posturing as they work to catch Riddick. Things get better again in the final act when it is the survivors struggling against some nasty creatures. The effects are pretty good and there are plenty of exciting and scary moments. The cast is decent enough; Vin Diesel stands out as he does what his fans want. Of the others the most memorable is Katee Sackhoff, the only woman in the film to have anything other than a tiny role. Overall I think fans of the previous films should enjoy this although it isn’t absolutely necessary to have seen them to enjoy this.
