If you like your SF loud, your body armour ornate and impractical, your violence gungho and almost unceasing and the sting in the tail quite hilarious can I recommend this beauty of a 'no-brainer'.

Supposedly the follow up to Pitch Black, this follows the adventures of our shy and retiring Furian, Riddick as he gets caught up in a Religious Crusade.

The violence is (for the most part) dare I say quite stylish and slick. One sequence was as breathtaking as an aerial ballet. But the film has plenty of humour as well.

Directed by the writer (or written by the director) some sub stories appear to have been edited by his Mother-In-Law, but still survives some ham handed treatment.

Take your popcorn. Use the provided seat restraints and enjoy the ride.

I'm looking forward to seeing this. I thought Pitch Black was great. Even though this film takes a different road to that; I find Riddick an interesting character.

I ditto Eckie on that.

Looking forward to seeing this film. I had low expectations for Pitch Black and was very pleasantly surprised. Hope the sequel lives up to it's excelent predecessor.
