Great Sci-fi
I think this is a great movie for those that enjoy sci-fi. Vin Diesel makes a great anti-hero, the graphics are great without being over the top and seamlessly integrated. Unlike many reviewers here I don't see what was wrong with the timeline at all. And Riddick wasn't turned into a super-human warrior, just a very top-of-the-line human. If they make a sequel, I'll be very glad to see it, I think this franchise has a lot of potential. I also think this movie had some subtleties to be enjoyed by those who like picking apart hints and innuendoes. My only complaint was with the new characterization of Jack, I think straying away from the character as she was in Pitch Black made her less enjoyable and almost seem an extra in the story. The movie already has Thandie Newton to be sexy, they should've let Jack be the tomboy she's supposed to be.
