The Chronicles of Riddick

THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK (2004) - June 9, 2004
A dull and sometimes incoherent action / sci-fi movie. Vin Diesel is good as Riddick, but even he can't save this muddled mess of a movie. The story, involving a Borg-like race called the Necromongers, is far more confusing than it needs to be. There's also a lengthy diversion in a prison colony which does nothing to further the plot, and exists only to bring back a character from the first movie. And while there are some impressive visuals, the movie's lack of any real narrative momentum makes the whole thing somewhat of a bore. Plus that stupid retarded ending just raised more questions than it answered. **
