Chronicles of Riddick

Sweet. I got a chance to finally see this film and while I didn't think it was as great as Pitch Black, it had its moments.

The visual effects were fairly good, with the sunrise effects of Crematoria excellent. Even some of the set design was impressive. Almost Geiger-esque. I was a bit disappointed in the convoluted nature of the film, with various characters being of different backgrounds; necromongers, elementals, and whatever Riddick is, which sort of turned me off. Save the planet, save the human race, yadda, yadda. I guess it makes the film deeper but come on, a Vin Diesel film? Do we expect it to have any deep meaning? This is from the same writer that did Waterworld, so I'll let you decide.
