Vin Diesel (XXX, The Fast and the Furious) stars in this electrifying special-effects-fueled action spectacular! After years of outrunning ruthless bounty hunters, escaped convict Riddick suddenly finds himself caught between opposing forces in a fight for the future of the human race. Now, waging incredible battles on fantastic and deadly worlds, this lone, reluctant hero will emerge as humanity's champion - and the last hope for a universe on the edge of annihilation. Powered by groundbreaking visual effects and pulse-pounding, thrill-a-minute action, The Chronicles of Riddick is "a roller coaster ride that leaves you kicking and screaming for more!" (Hollywood Hotwire)

Critics Consensus: As an action movie, Riddick offers some thrills, but as a sequel to Pitch Black, it's a disappointment.

Reviews

Deep Focus Review

Rotten

Self-indulgent nonsense filled to the brim with pointless action sequences and a planet-hopping plot that seems to go nowhere.

Gone With The Twins

Fresh

The scope is grand enough to hope for a full franchise, but the plot just isn't unique enough to want to see more of Riddick's missions.

Herald Sun (Australia)

Rotten

Storyline has severe coherence problems, but an arresting production design showcases an innovative collection of rugged CGI backdrops for Riddick's running battles.

The Dispatch (Lexington, NC)

Rotten

The script is heavy-handed and cheesy, the acting is leaden (Dench nonwithstanding), the special effects are overblown, and the costumes are truly ridiculous.

The Tyee (British Columbia)

I've been patiently waiting for the sequel for years and now this.

Common Sense Says

Very violent, brainless explosion movie.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that Chronicles of Riddick is a sci-fi action movie that isn't very good, and has intense and graphic violence, including people getting fried in intense heat and a lot of fighting. Characters are in constant peril and many are killed, there are a few four-letter words, and a character speaks of being forced into prostitution. The movie's few strengths are that there are diverse characters on both sides and the way it makes clear that the good guys stand for tolerance.
