Looks good..too bad it stunk!

If you are a fan of the original two movies Pitch Black and Riddick, you will like me find this movie to be the complete load of rubbish it is. Ok so the craze these days is to build a franchise and milk an idea for every dollar its worth, but you do at least have to make decent sequels for this to work!

Using a CGI landscape reminiscent almost of Amiga graphics, Vin Diesel grunts his way (on a green screen) through a few hours that seem to not make much sense. For some very obscure reason he wakes up on a planet left for dead then has to fight his way off it..

Along the way he kills various people and fights alien monsters. That’s about it. This film lacked most of the originality or interest of the previous movies and the Riddick character should have been left on DVD. Of course having said that, I know like me you’ll watch it just because you enjoyed the original films. This one is the Highlander II of the series I’m afraid!
