Riddick (2013)
Good series, very bad sequel
1 January 2014
If you are into scifi, you should see the Riddick movies. The series is good in general and very good at times.

This latest installment, however, is very, very bad. I cannot emphasize it enough. Riddick (2013) is terrible.

An atrocious script is mostly to blame. There is no storyline to speak of. What little narrative there exist, it makes no sense. It leads nowhere and does so boring everyone to death. Including the actors. Vin Diesel himself has no choice but to pull "cool" at every turn in order to keep himself awake.

Of course, if you are a fan of the series (as I am), you will watch it no matter what anyone says. This is fine. I would and in fact did. But go into it with your eyes open. The best thing that can be said about this movie is that it is an awful remake of "Into Pitch Black".
