Galactic criminal Riddick (Vin Diesel) is on the run, with bounty hunters on his tail. He receives guidance from Aereon (Judi Dench), ambassador from the Elemental race, who informs him that a warrior army known as the Necromongers is annihilating all human life in the galaxy in a bid for universal dominance. The wise Aereon urges Riddick into battle, believing he is the one man who can defeat the Necromongers and their leader, the evil Lord Marshal (Colm Feore).

Critics Consensus

As an action movie, Riddick offers some thrills, but as a sequel to Pitch Black, it's a disappointment.

Very violent, brainless explosion movie.

Time Out

The sequel baton pass at the finale is pretty nifty, but it's surely asking too much to think the filmmakers could leave us wanting more. Come to think of it, much, much less would have been best.

Diesel is an imposing screen presence even when growling risible dialogue.

Rated: 2/5

Deep Focus Review

Self-indulgent nonsense filled to the brim with pointless action sequences and a planet-hopping plot that seems to go nowhere.

Rated: 1/4

Gone With The Twins

The scope is grand enough to hope for a full franchise, but the plot just isn't unique enough to want to see more of Riddick's missions.

Rated: 7/10

Herald Sun (Australia)

Storyline has severe coherence problems, but an arresting production design showcases an innovative collection of rugged CGI backdrops for Riddick's running battles.

Rated: 2.5/5

"It's a very cool action movie with great special effects. The actors do a great job. The story is very well woven, with well-connected lore elements that leave you wanting to know more at the end. It's good food for the kid in all of us."
