Director : David Twohy
Running Time : 127 mins
Riddick (Diesel) is stranded on a remote abandoned planet, which is only inhabited by wild dog like creatures and mud demons. After spending a while healing from his injuries, he resorts to setting off his emergency beacon to seek help, attracting the attention of two orbiting ships. He makes them an offer – leave on one of the ships together, leaving him the other to escape on, or die horribly at his hands.
I hated The Chronicles Of Riddick. It was over the top, looked too expensive for what it was, it was slow, and nothing really happened. It was nothing like Pitch Black which was slow in a well-paced sort of way and had a coherent storyline, and Riddick is similar in this vein. Diesel may not be the best character actor, and the supporting cast might be almost entirely absent for half the film, but the action is well done and even the dog character who could have easily been annoying served a vital purpose to the plot.
