The start of a inconic movie anti-hero

Rating: 7/10 (2 October 2013)

This is a cool sci-fi flick that still holds up today, despite the slight corniness. The main standout aspect of this movie is of course the introduction of a iconic badass anti-hero named Riddick. This film has two stages. The first is when the ship crash lands on a planet with creatures that are afraid of the light. And Riddick escapes from the ship and everyone is on a manhunt for Riddick. The main disappointment with this, is the fact that Riddick gets caught easily. Especially when most of the people in the ship are tourist. The second stage is Riddick and the crew trying the survive and get off the planet. Few parts seem underdeveloped but overall this is a cool and fun sci-fi flick. Thanks to a dangerous, formidable and interesting anti-hero Riddick. Riddick is this stealthy badass ninja like character that can see in the dark. And a lot of the interest comes from not being sure the level of his conscience. This is Vin Diesel's first iconic movie character for a reason, and Vin nails it. To be honest I wouldn't be shocked if the makers of Kratos from "God of War" was inspired by the character Riddick when designing the game.
7.4/10
