Nice idea but not too well executed

Rating: Null/10 (13 January 2002)

Quite simply watch the first five minutes of this and fast forward an hour, then it gets quite exciting. The only more interesting area of the story line is the Riddick character and his conversion from murderer to hero, which raises some interesting ideas. The story line sounds promising but is let down by some poor acting and a dissapointing recreation of this story. This is a very average SF film. If you are looking for some mindless SF film to watch with your friends after a few beers on a Saturday night then watch this, if you want something deeper then look else where. 4/10 (out of 10, 5 being average).
