| Chronicles of Riddick aka Pitch Black 2 |
|
Pitch Black was a movie I did not want to see. With expectations quite low I finally rented it in 2000. Definitely an aliens rip-off...but I loved every minute of it. From the junkie cop to the Newt clone and who can forget the anti-hero Riddick.
This June the sequel, "Chronicles of Riddick", is hitting theaters. The trailer rocks!
Also, I absolutely hate games based on movies because 9 times out of 10 they really suck. I know Enter the Matrix sold 2 million copies but that game plays like crap. Two Towers actually played quite well...it just needed an option to skip video sequences. Anyway, screen-shots for Riddick the game conjure up nods to Doom3 & Deus Ex Invisible War. I am sure this game will suck too, but you never know.
How much do you hate or love Pitch Black? Do you have any interest in the Sequel?

I liked Pitch Black. I saw it in theaters and didn't regret the 5 bucks I spent doing so in the slightest. I hadn't heard of a sequel but it's something I'd consider seeing.

I agree!
I just hope this one lives up to the first movie.

I was so surprised when I saw Pitch Black on TV for the first time, because up to that point I had never heard of it. This well-made B-picture happened to impress me so much I had to get the DVD.
(Sure, I'm easily impressed by well-made B flicks... Ravenous... Death Machine... The Bunker all come to my mind now, all little movies which surprised me to no end because I hadn't thought they would be any good)
For some reason I can't put a finger on I didn't like the 'Chronicles' trailer very much, though. I just hope they didn't butcher the nice concept by doing this sequel.
We'll see.

Is this the movie where Vin Diesel is a prisoner who had his eyes altered so he could see in the dark? If so, I really liked it too. The plot's full of holes, but there's something about the tense scenes that more than make up for it. I didn't even know there was a sequel coming out. |

More high-budget special effects vs. B-movie feel?

That might be it. Whenever I notice a concentration on impressive effects instead of decent scripts, I start to get cautious.

Trailer looked decent enough for me to say it's on my watch list.
