Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless. Soon, however, he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he’s encountered. The only way off is for Riddick to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty. The first ship to arrive carries a new breed of merc, more lethal and violent, while the second is captained by a man whose pursuit of Riddick is more personal. With time running out and a storm on the horizon that no one could survive, his hunters won’t leave the planet without Riddick’s head as their trophy.

Post-BSG Katee Sackhoff, a solid dose of Pitch Black and random monsters with nothing but claws? Sure. The Riddick franchise finally gets an overhaul by David Twohy and it’s finally not in the unlucky vein of urban retro-desertpunk-futurist Chronicles of Riddick. Join me in a London IMAX in September.
