Scene Stealer

Rating: 10/10 (28 February 2000)

I loved the movie. In all it's visual glory it made room for people in the plot. The creatures were well done ( I especially liked the little bit of biological study done by Riddick ). There were some things about the movie that are borrowed from other movies and stories. I can't fault anyone for being displeased about that. But I found the plot to be stimulating anyway. I had vaguely known about Vin Diesel from other work he had done, but I was impressed by his performance in the film in that he literally made the character line every crack and seam of the movie. I found myself waiting for him to give me a little more of the character. I will be looking forward to him in other films and I will make it a point to watch what he has written and directed. I really did appreciate this movie from beginning to end as a Sci-fi fan.
