Not dissatisfied with this movie. It has all the energy and surprise that Riddick offers. Great beasts and as usual the Meeks do not know to whom they are messing with.

Awesome movies all the franchise is completely worth the watch if you’ve never seen them!! Now I hear they scripted the next and will be working on it next year!

Riddick, a sequel to The Chronicles of Riddick, takes place some time after that film with Riddick getting "fat", as fat as a buff Vin Diesel can be, and complacent. The necromongers are conspiring to oust Riddick as their leader by dangling the carrot of his homeworld "Furia" in front of him. After being betrayed and left for dead on a planet call, well "not Furia" Riddick must regain his animal side with the first 30 dedicated to a long form montage of him learning the land and fighting some monsters. Later Riddick finds a Merc station and hit's the emergency button to call someone to get him off the plant. The remainder of the movie is a cat-and-mouse game between Riddick and the mercs in an attempt to steal on of their ships to get off the planet before an impending storm, which will bring with it blood thirsty "mud" monsters, (It's actually less stupid than is sounds). This movie is clearly made for the fans, in fact Vin even mortgaged his house to finance the film, don't worry he turned a profit, and actually Universal wants him to make another. A good film worth a buy for fans of the franchise, even if it is somewhat forgetable.

The family thoroughly enjoyed movie. I lots of twists.

Riddick picks up after the Chronicles of Riddick, which tried really hard to be "epic" and only partly succeeded. This story quickly relocates our hero from the throne back to being abandoned on a planet to die with bad guy bounty hunters looking for him, so fortunately the "epic" nature has been thrown out (good riddance!) The movie is really more of a rehash of Pitch Black, which is good and bad -- good, because Pitch Black was actually a really good movie, and bad, because, well, I've seen this movie already. Weird planet has once-in-a-while special weather that herald the coming of monstrous creatures. Riddick must survive and get off planet. Much blood and stalking of bad guys ensues. Sound familiar? Yeah, exactly. Aside from bad language, bloody violence, there's a gratuitous scene of Starbuck's boobs. But doubtful you'd be letting your 10-year-old watch this anyway.
