Five years after the conclusion of Pitch Black, Richard B. Riddick (Vin Diesel), sporting dreadlocks and living in self-exile on a frozen planet, finds himself once again being hunted, this time for a 1.5 million dollar bounty. Tipped off to where Riddick is hiding by Abu "Imam" al-Walid (the cleric Riddick saved in the first film), a merc (mercenary) named Toombs (Nick Chinlund) arrives to collect our antihero and the bounty on his head. Riddick eludes capture, steals Toombs' ship and flies to New Mecca where he confronts the backstabbing cleric. Imam (Keith David) tells Riddick that Toombs was used to draw him out, because New Mecca is being targeted for takeover by Necromongers (a legion of armor-wearing storm troopers who will kill you if they can't convert you to their evil ways) and he is the only one who can save them. According to an Elemental named Aereon (a ghostly seer who can appear and disappear at will), Lord Marshal (Colm Feore), the Necromonger's half dead/half alive leader (who can pull the soul right out of your body) has systematically destroyed a race of people known as Furions, because it was prophesied that Lord Marshal can only be defeated by a Furion warrior… Riddick, it appears, is the last remaining Furion.

The Chronicles of Riddick (2004)
I thought this movie was riveting. It did start a little slow, but soon thereafter caught my full attention. I had to change mental gears from expecting a Pitch Black sequel/clone, but not in a bad way at all. And there ARE tie-ins with Pitch Black plainly evident unless you aren't particularly observant or haven't seen Pitch Black. I thought the special effects were some of the best I have seen in a very long time, and after I began to become adjusted to the more involved background story, I found it engrossing. I felt that the characters had some depth to them. Enough for me to care a little about a few of them anyway, and Riddick became a little less of a cardboard cut-out, and a little more intricate in this movie. Some of the action sequences are also pretty impressive. I find it quite disappointing that this did not do better in theaters, and intend my rental to become a purchase. I hope that they continue the series with the next one? or two? movies that have been rumored to be following.

Those who found the movie itself disappointing, I would guess would be: 1) Hardcore sci-fi, or action movie fans who spent way too much time making mental comparisons to their favorite storyline/universe, or acting star during a movie to actually just enjoy the movie. 2) People who just wanted straight up action without all of the intricate details of a sci-fi storyline. 3) People expecting a sequel to Pitch black that didn't grow or expand on the storyline or character, who couldn't switch gears.

I took this film as THIS film, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I did not spend the entire movie making mental comparisons to other sci-fi or action movies or stars. Yes some of it's ideas have been used before. So what? Plumbing was an idea used by the ancient Greek and roman civilizations. Should we not use plumbing, because someone else used it before? If you spend all of the time during the movie making comparisons, then you might not give the movie the full attention it deserves.
For any who enjoy a good sci-fi action movie with a little thought behind it, and don't have some holy grail to compare it with, I would highly recommend this one.IMDB Reviewer
