good sci-fi movie

Rating: Null/10 (28 May 2002)

I'm not the biggest fan of sci-fi movies, but this one works. The plot was not overly convolutated with high tech gadgets and such what. The cool part about this movie is you start to root for the "bad" guy, as he becomes the "somewhat" hero of this film. Vin Diesel rocks as the ultra bad Riddick. But, we soon wonder is he really as bad as Johns(the bounty hunter) makes him out to be. I liked the creatures. They were great considering this is a fairly low budget film. (SPOILERS): Riddicks' see in the dark eyes are cool, and I was glad when he got rid of Johns, as were the others.(END OF SPOILERS) This is Vin Diesel's break out movie for bigger and better things. I'd also like to see a sequel about Riddick. FINAL VERDICT: A great movie to see late at night, to make it all the more creepier.
