this movie kicks a&%

Rating: Null/10 (16 February 2001)

i am watching this movie right now actually. i think it is the BEST sci-fi movie since 'aliens'. not alien 3 or 4, but aliens. which means it is the best sci-fi movie since the mid-80s. the absolute best aspect of this movie is character development. riddick kicks alien butt and his character is one of the best in the past 15 years. he develops his character so beautifully that ridley takes second string. i watched 'payback' and this 'root for the bad guy' scenario but until i saw this movie i didn't do it. riddick (vin diesel's character) is a bad guy. he is a self-admitted killer but he isn't the real bad guy in this flick. his development is dominant and this movie would not be what it is without him. but my personal favorite character development is 'fry'. she goes from a careless, heartless bitch to a soulful captain who is willing to go that extra mile for her 'crew'. her and riddick together make this movie the ABSOLUTE BEST sci-fi movie since 'aliens'. watching the beautiful cinematography mold with the amazing character development makes me feel confident that this movie sets the standard for many to come.
