Storyline
Betrayed by his own kind and left for dead on a desolate planet, Riddick fights for survival against alien predators and becomes more powerful and dangerous than ever before. Soon bounty hunters from throughout the galaxy descend on Riddick only to find themselves pawns in his greater scheme for revenge. With his enemies right where he wants them, Riddick unleashes a vicious attack of vengeance before returning to his home planet of Furya to save it from destruction.
There have only been a few time this year that I have gotten to leave
the theater with a giant grin on my face, Riddick was one of those
times.
I spent a little bit of time reading others reviews before I started
typing this up and, I won't lie, they kind of ticked me off. Riddick is
a movie that took its 40 Million dollar budget and stretched it to the
absolute MAX, I also feel like this is one of Vin's best performances
to date. There is no sexism in the film...There is no horrible see
through acting...there is no moment during this movie when I was
bored...It's a thrill ride. A brief summary
Act 1-Riddick is stranded on what might be his home planet and has to
re-man up after becoming soft while leading the Necromongers (Riddick
being the only person hard enough to ever soften up when taking over a
galaxy dominating army) There is a dog in act one but it plays very
well into the story and I personally got attached to the pup...think of
Will Smith's dog in "I am Legend"
Act 2-Mercs are brought to the planet and the fun begins...for the next
forty five minutes the story is about the Mercs and Riddick becomes
what we all love...a monster in the Darkness.
Act 3-It starts raining...I'm going to stop there on act three because
I want to spoil nothing... The End-Was exactly what I wanted and had me
leaving the theater with a giant grin on my face.
WARNING: This is not a happy sing along movie with a perfect hero who
saves the day in the end this is also not "A Piece of Art." This is
Riddick it's Muddy, Bloody, Painful and as always FUN!
