4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable Action Flick - Recommended, February 19, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
"The Chronicles of Riddick" is a very watchable Sci-Fi action movie that is the last in the Riddick series (following Pitch Black [Blu-ray] and Dark Fury - The Chronicles of Riddick (Animated)). While it does have a few characters from the the first two movies, it could almost stand on its own since the back-story really isn't too important to the main plot line.

No spoilers from me; Vin Diesel reprises his role as the fugitive Riddick, a very tough, no nonsense survivalist in the truest sense of the word. There are a lot of new elements added the Riddick universe, including a few new races, and issues much grander in scope than the previous movies. While Riddick is a very cold killer who is capable of explosive violence, he also is very loyal to those he considers worthwhile.

The special effects are very impressive in places and I really liked the feel of the environments created for the movie, with some of the Necromonger technology being the creepiest I have ever seen. The various fight scenes are all well done and are some of the best in any movie in this genre.

Recommended!
