I’m all for it. Love the Riddick franchise, so fun.

      I think Pitch Black is a fantastic movie, period. They accomplish so much world building through “show don’t tell,” it’s visually great despite being dark most of the time, and it makes great use of suspense at all stages.

    Encountering videos of him in real-life has had a sort of Steven Seagal-esque effect on my ability to enjoy his movies.

      This. Guy is weird af in real life. I’m willing to ignore it all for 2 hours of another Riddick film is as good as the previous ones but I’m no fan of this guy anymore after some of the videos I’ve seen of his behavior off set.

      Another actor that Hollywood just turned into a freak.

    I’m game. I enjoyed the first 3 quite a bit. they did alien worlds pretty good I second 2, although the whole “bonded with space dog” from the 3rd one had me flinching from the cringe.

    but still a solid B+ overall.

    Chronicles is under-rated. It’s Macbeth in space with Riddick in the Macduff role, but I guess people just didn’t want a movie about Macduff. ;)

      It’s honestly my favorite of the bunch. The Pitch Black /Riddick monster plot style dying one by one has never appealed to me in any genere. I loved the mystic sci-fi space world building that was going in Chronicles. Does it do it better than a movie like Dune? No, but this also came out a very long time ago.

      Chronicles was fun, the last one was meh because it was too similar to Pitch Black but without the interesting characters.
