The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Riddick (2013)

Starring: Vin Diesel, Katee Sackoff, Jordi Molla, Matt Nable, Dave Bautista, Bookem Woodbine,
Director: David Twohy

Premise:
Riddick crashes on a planet where he must contend with it's lieform to survive. He activates a homing beacon in hopes of stealing a rescue ship. Instead he gets two crew of bounty hunters.

My Take:
This sequel sort of throws back to the original Pitch Black where it is more about survival against alien life forms. For the most part it works and the creature are rather bad ass. But in the end it still just feels like a sequel and not adding much to the whole mythos of the character.

Rating: In the middle
