Riddick (2013)
Country: CAN/US
Technical: col/2.39:1 119m
Director: David Twohy
Cast: Vin Diesel, Katee Sackhoff, Jordi Mollà, Matt Nable, Dave Bautista
Synopsis:
The beleaguered criminal from Pitch Black makes his third big screen appearance, as he first learns how to survive in his new desert environment, then draws in ships via a distress beacon in order to get off the hostile planet.
Review:
After the commercial debacle of The Chronicles of Riddick, Twohy returned with a new script nearly a decade later, and with the increasingly bankable action star as producer. Most notable for its narrative inventiveness, the film veers from fantasy pre-credit via Crusoe-like survival saga to bounty hunters and an Aliens-style SF-Action finale. As enjoyable as an overblown John Carpenter film could be, it nonetheless leaves newcomers with a great many questions unanswered (not least how he survived that rockfall), and Karl Urban with only one line.
