Frankly I do not understand what all the fuss is about with many of the reviews. Look, if you want to see an Ibsen play, go to the theater. If you expect to be entertained - and entertained well - go watch a movie like "The Chronicles of Riddick". Ok, so you have to be a SciFi friend, especially with a liking for Farscape, Dune or Lexx.

 

The scenery, the ideas, the action and even the one-liners are well worth it. It's been a while that I have been to a movie where the whole audience roared of laughter - especially when it was intended by the director.I won't bore you with the plot, other reviews have done a fine job with that. I liked the ending, too. Should have seen it coming somehow but didn't.I give it 9 out of 10.

 

 

 

 

This movie could get into the same club as "dune".. The "pitch black" movie wasn't all that great. Taking up the "alien" theme once more and creating a movie where people mostly run and scream.. Well its been seen before.

 

So when i watched Cronicles of Riddick it wasn't with the biggest hopes sat for this film. But i was gravely mistaken.The plot, the story everything is perfect. Especially as the writers hasn't used any parts of any other sci-fi /space adventure movies like"warp speed"or stuff like that. This one has its own completely closed universe, and what a universe that is.Okay, maybe some of the story like the "messiah" part could have been in a different way, but still its a great film to watch.

 

The plot is very good, and everything is explained to you. Some things like the technology is not explained but you get the idea as you go along, which makes the movie even better. Cronicles of Riddick could be the next "dune" and the reason for me comparing these two are that Dune also does not use elements seen before. Everything is brand new, as in Cronicles of Riddick. This is why the movie primarily is so great to watch.

 

Riddick. Well Riddick is a one man army, and a bit on the psychopathic side. He got some skills, but still he reveals feelings in this movie. The story of Riddick could be put into a lot of good movies and sequels especially if one where to make a pre-story movie that would take place before "Pitch Dark".This one is one to watch!!
