Outstanding!

Rating: 10/10 (1 July 2002)

I could never truly express how much I love this film. I have seen it almost 10 times, and still grip the sides of the chair when watching it. There are a few flaws in the plot, some were mentioning the crew not freezing at sundown, and the likelihood of the crash occurring at the same time as the eclipse, but hey, just go with the flow.
The special effects they used for Riddick were exceptional, and the tone for the planet was just as effective. The stark contrasts in colors gave the mood, and added to the creepiness factor.
Vin Diesel was excellent in this movie, and the script was cleverly written. You see his and the captain's internal struggles over the importance of their survival in contrast to saving the others.
I was very impressed with this movie, and I would recommend it to anyone.

****FOR BEST RESULTS - WATCH IN THE DARK!!****
