The Furion who wishes to be left in exile and peace is soon thrown back into the web of politics of an upcoming genocidal war, to convert the non believers into the Necromonger way of life. His fate entwined with the leader of the Necromonger's from birth. Will Riddick join the human race once more or will he return to solitude. Taking a different but more fleshed out route to its mother film (Pitch Black) CoR peels away at who and what Riddick is. He is neither man or Monster just something swaying in between, one of the remaining few of his race, forever on the run for crimes he committed in defence or other reasons the movies never fully explain.

I bought this on video from the pound shop, I wasn't expecting much but last night I watched it and I was blow away, what a brilliant film, even better than Pitch Black which frightened the life out of me. Vin Diesel is brilliant as the brutal yet tender convict Riddick who finds himself once more on the run across the Galaxy, this time with a bigger price on his head than before. Enter an old friend from Pitch Black who has settled down with his young family, a planet about to be subjugated by the brutal Necromancers, an elemental race who predict probabilities based on cause an effect, Judi Dench is wonderful in this cameo role, elegant, stylish and full of secrets, she alone knows WHAT Riddick is and why the Lord Marshal fears him so much. Karl Urban as the fanatical Lord Vakko of the Necromancers pushes all the right buttons to enrage Riddick and Thandie Newton as his scheming ambitious wife is a delight to behold along with a troubled Necromancer Commander, Linus Roache, an understated actor by the way, with secrets of his own along with an agenda that could the herald the end of the reign of the Lord Marshal. And then there is Kyra, the girl that Riddick loves but will never admit to loving, a girl he will go half way across the galaxy to find and save even if it means his own demise. This is an action packed movie from beginning to end, with state of the art special effects, some fantastic fight sequences, some hilarious moments that make you laugh out loud, some briefly gross out moments and some eye popping stunts that have you on the edge of your seat, oh and the monster dogs on the prison planet are fantastic! This is a great movie, get the Director's cut though, it's a lot better!Read full review
I purchased this off ebay out of interest only as I was a big fan of 'Pitch Black' but very disapointed with the original cinema version of 'Chronicles'. BUT this Director's cut is a vast improvement on the original theatre edition! The two disc box set has loads of extras including 15 minutes of footage not in the original, mostly around the action scenes which are great. The storyline is much clearer and smoother running. A fine example of the work of the butchers credited as editors who can take a descent movie and make it nonsense. Ok my rant's over. It's a 5/5 from me.
All the power in the universe can't change destiny. Vin Diesel reprises his role as hunted fugitive Riddick, his anti-hero character from cult movie, Pitch Black. Riddick is on the run; escaping from mercenaries determined to collect the price on his head, he finds himself at the heart of a battle that is not his. With Necromonger conquerors threatening the future of the entire universe, Riddick could be the only unlikely hero to save the human race. But will he be interested in saving anything other than his own life? With groundbreaking special effects, incredible action scenes in fantastic worlds and an all star cast, including Dame Judi Dench and Thandie Newton, The Chronicles of Riddick will take you on a thrill-ride like you've never experienced before.
