Riddick (2013)

I see. Mostly my opinion is just as a regular viewer who hasn't delved too deep into the story outside of the movies and that one animation. Sounds a lot better the way you describe it.

Ummmm... Summary on IMDB, what the fuck?

The summary sounds more like a "Pitch Black" sequal over a Riddick sequal. If that is the plot point I am less inclined to watch this in theaters. I was all for continuing the story into the "Underverse" in the hopes of seeing this place discussed so much in chronicles. Just going to another planet infested by some sort of alien group using mercenaries as a shield while he beats them down feels like a "Riddick Light" movie.

Escape from Butcher bay & Dark Athena games on steam are pretty fun too. Butcher Bay every has X to the Z as a prison guard.

Why would he bother to save his home planet? He is the last living resident of it and he doesn't really spend much time there throughout his life. The Necromonger leader dude killed every Furyan who exists because of the prophecy of one of them being his downfall. Unless like I said before, they need to retcon the F out of the Necromongers because they were stupid and ruined any future storylines for the universe.

The Big Bad in the Underverse can only be defeated by an Alpha Furyan.

Necromonger leader becomes the first (and only) person to cross over to the Underverse. He's deceived by the Big Bad into believing the Furyans will kill him. So his people wipe out the Furyans.

Riddick takes over the Necromongers, leads them into the Underverse and they get their asses kicked.

He returns to Furya to discover a super Secret Weapon or magic (Mentioned in the Directors cut of Chronicles, during a dream). And defeats the Big Bad.


That was the original plan as I understand it. Chronicles didn't make a lot of money so 8 years later they are returning to what made them successful. Just my 2c

Yeah, I thought the Riddick games were pretty badass. Always wondered why they weren't more popular.

Best part of the first two movies was the pasty white boy/girl growing up to be a sexy female action star.

The character is played by two different actors.

Your downer for the day.

I really liked Jack's story. Sci-Fi had a series called "Kyra" all lined up to air after Chronicles which explained her time leading up to when Riddick returned.

Obviously, it did not air Had Chronicles been a hit, we'd be drowning in the series lore. I think that's why most folks are left confused, because so much didn't come to pass after it bombed. The good news was it left room for another series NBC was developing for the Sci-Fi network called Battlestar Galactica.

I like every Vin Diesel movie, no homo. I will watch this automatically.

I've been looking forward to this movie for a long time. Many hated Chronicles, but I loved the feel and atmosphere of it, perfect? certaintly not, flawed? oh yes, but the result is pure awesomeness none the lessHope this new movie manages to take the best of both Pitch Black and Chronicles and create a new kind of thrill ride.

From the synopsis I can't really tell if they are following the story from 2 or ignoring it. Either way I'm happy with it, jut happy to get more quality sci-fi.

got to say these movies werent that good, but ill probably still watch this one to laugh laugh at vin diesel's acting skills. he should only stay as his true character of Dominic Toretto.

I enjoyed Chronicles so much I still watch it every time I run across it on TV. Not entirely sure what it is about that movie, but I can't get enough.

I am really hoping this one follows that story line rather then going the Pitch Black route.
