Good movie. If you take all of them, they are probably worth buying on Amazon stream if the price is under 8 each.

Initial critical reviews were so unfair

Pitch Black was a smallish independent film, only $20 million budget, and was a sleeper hit. I missed it in theaters, but saw it on the shelf at Blockbuster years ago, and like so many others I was totally impressed. So I remember being very excited to see a sequel, but boy, Chronicles was not at all what I expected.

Instead of sci-fi horror, Twohy and Diesel took the concept and completely ran away with it, creating their own universe. Critics called it confusing, which is ridiculous. But it is definitely dense, full of back stories, mythos, new aliens, lots and lots going on. My only criticism is that it should have been broken up into 2 or 3 movies, though I realize that wouldn't have been feasible.

But they were brave enough to invent a brand new universe, with its own rules, its own aliens, etc. No it's not a perfect movie, but how many other fantasy/sci-fi movies have done this in recent years? So I give it a full 5 stars for bravery and creativity, and hope they keep making more.

The container encasing the 2 discs is georgous. One disc plays grainy. But holy cow, the other disc has the best graphics i ever have seen. So HOT case, and HOT graphics! Great dubbing too, if you are like me. Awesome. You are welcome for the review!!!

This is such great classic sci fi, it's hard to believe it is from 2004. Vin Diesel was born for this role. This is one of my favorite all time movies, the opening scene gets your heart pounding and it just doesn't stop: almost non-stop action from there on out. Costume, set design, all top notch and the acting is excellent too! If you think about the plot, it gets a little sad, be like his character, stick to action.

Also, somehow, the movie is composed almost entirely of excellent one-liners. Must be Vin Diesel's excellent, yet under-appreciated, acting. "It's a tea cup, actually." He makes the statement "29.4 kilometers" sinister and hilarious at the same time. Truly amazing. The action really does distract away from his acting, so Mr. Diesel, there are those of us that do appreciate both your ability in your stunts, who enjoy your material, who do also appreciate that it does distract, but without the excellent acting, the stunts are just stunts.

The entire movie, however, is moving poetry. Thandie Newton nearly steals the show from him. The Purifier is mysterious and sad and one of the best death scenes ever. I have been a fan of Karl Urban since his Xena (Eros/Caesar) days (hope he plays Erak in the rumored production of The Ranger's Apprentice), his character is so powerful and so pious, yet so mixed up and impotent. The set design is truly other wordly and the first time I saw the Lord Marshall and he removed his face covering I nearly fainted! So creepy! This is one of the best done movies ever. Congrats to David Twohy and thanks for making this movie. Anyone who likes sci fi should watch this!

A good Sci-Fi film and a continuation of the Riddick saga!

I am a fan of Sci-Fi and I found this movie to be very good. I purchased the BluRay version for my video library. The quality of the video and sound was excellent. I also purchased a VUDU HDX streaming video version to play on our family’s Apple and Android products. I also streamed it to our digital projector onto a 12 foot diagonal screen and the quality was impressive.

I owned the DVD version of the film and I wanted the director’s cut on BluRay. There are some slight variations in the movies but the presentation was still entertaining and fun to watch.

Vin Diesel does a good job in this film playing the role of the super bad convict from the planet Furyan. The film features him as the villain and the hero and as the only chance to save the human race.

There is a lot of action in this film, as you would suspect, and that made it entertaining for me. I enjoyed the Sci-Fi part of the film and the look into the spacecraft and weapons used by the warriors and other fighters. For me it was a good film and I enjoyed it. I would say though that I liked the movie Pitch Black better.

I am glad I added it into my video collection.

Hey, a movie has to talk to me to like it ore buy it that is all. If it does not talk to me I will not even watch it.

It's still a good movie, but they cut out parts that kind of connect things together and in a few instances make the scene look hacky and badly done.

Here it is, the 227th review...and a question.

Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2005

OK, with so many reviews, why write another one, right?

I just watched the DVD of this film (with the director's cut put back in) and as much as I enjoyed it, I have one question (actually one problem) concerning the DVD version:

With the Director's desire to put so much back into the movie, why did he take things out that were in the theatrical version?

I first saw this movie, like most people do, in the theater and I must admit I enjoyed it very, very much. I enjoyed it so much in fact, that I remember aspects and scenes from it even now. Sad indeed when I realized that some of these scenes were not on this DVD.

For example: there was a scene just after the mercs go deep underground on Crematorium (am I spelling that right?). They witness for the first time (as do we) what happens in the main office of the slam everytime the sun rises and outside temperature quickly rises to 700°. Everything in the office rattles and the thermometer gauge rises higher and higher. (You can still see a bit of this scene in the Special Effects featurette ...along with a terrific scene of the super heated atmosphere exploding around the gate that Riddick, Kyra and company later escape through on their run to the hanger)

Remembering that scene makes me wonder what else was deleted from the film that I so much enjoyed in the theater AND therefore compells me to ask the question: would it have been so terrible to leave in everything that was in the original theatrical version while adding the additional 15 minutes to this DVD version?

To this question I suspect that there won't be an answer forthcoming (except maybe, the standard, "creative license" one) Oh well.

All in all I am still pleased with the film; the stuff the director put back in should be considered icing on the cake (the additional scenes of the woman (apparition?) from Furya were a very nice touch)...

Thanks for listening to another critique....
