Review of Riddick (2013) by Brent D — 28 Jun 2016
Although I haven't seen the theatrical cut of this, I feel I can safely call this an unimpressive sequel filled with a lot of cool setpiece moments (they have to outrun the SUN? Seriously?). The story seems like it's trying to make a character who doesn't need redemption redeemable, which feels like a serious betrayal of who and what Riddick is.
The new Jack (Alexa Davalos), now going by Kyra, is a major high point, and the whole Crematoria sequence (which includes the aforementioned sun-run) is great, but otherwise the film just kind of falls flat.
