When the chains come off...you go...in the first 5 seconds.

Riddick is a true sequel to Pitch Black. We're back to simple, clear stakes storytelling surrounded by effects, action, suspense and monsters filling the runtime. As a matter of fact, the only convoluted or complexity in the film comes when trying to tie it to the previous entry, funny enough. However, that world looks a lot more appealing in its cheaper form, too. Oh and we get a Karl Urban cameo, so it can be forgiven. If Pitch Black was Alien, then Riddick is clearly Aliens.
