THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK picks up 5 years after the events of PITCH BLACK, with prison escapee Riddick (Vin Diesel) being hunted by mercenaries, only to find himself recruited to save an entire planet. He must draw upon all of his skills in order to face an intergalactic threat. The Necromongers are a cult-like army of planet comquerers that have set their sights on Helion Prime, and only Riddick stands a chance of defeating them.
Director David Twohy presents us with a futuristic mix of sci-fi and mystical elements, with loads of action and intrigue. Mr. Diesel really gets a chance to show off what his character can do. Iron-tough, gritty, and fearless, he's up to the task, even when diverted to the prison planet Crematoria, where he reunites with Jack (Alexa Davalos). We all know that Riddick is at his best when he's up against overwhelming odds. He does not disappoint! This time, Jack is able to help, since her childhood adulation of Riddick has turned her into a fierce ally.
Judi Dench has a small, but important role as the supernatural being, Aereon. She is an elemental who lives in both the physical and spiritual realm. Keith David reprises his role as Imam.
A solid, engaging sequel...
