pointless and loud
you'd think it was star wars...

The Chronicles of Riddick: "From: Universal Studios Home Video - Year: 2004 - Rated: Not Rated - Release Date: November 16, 2004 - Features: Anamorphic * Widescreen * DD 5.1 * Extras! * - Recommended! Storywise, this is not the greatest film ever made, but as a sci-fi action flick it delivers on a regular basis. Wonderfully mindless and brainless, this energetic followup to Pitch Black tries really hard to dazzle, and it is true that the action sequences are particularly well done. It's just too bad the story can't keep up with the energy of the set pieces, which often play out more like a video game than a movie. This unrated director's cut tacks on an additional 15 minutes of footage for your enjoyment, and the impressive Dolby Digital 5.1 mix is meant to be played very, very loud. I loved the look and feel of The Chronicles of Riddick, but in the end I just didn't really care what happened to anyone, least of all Riddick. Amazon Compare"
