But I will go ahead and weigh in that I think both movies are great. Pitch Black is quite possibly a top 5 all time best in sci-fi cinema, right there with Alien. Pacing, mood and quality understated acting combined for a great experience.

I think Chronicles stylistically was amazing. Epic in scope and also in execution. Some of the best sci-fi visuals I can recall. But I think where it falls a bit in my mind is the deviation from the character of Riddick as we learned of him in the original. I think the Furian thing would be a good thing to edit out of the series in a reboot.. There was something very satisfying with Riddick being this cut throat killer who is reviled and feared, yet in the end of Pitch Black is shown in a bit more of a redeeming light vs an alien with a mean streak.

Anyway, I leave you with this.. yesterdays news about the upcoming 3rd installment that is already green-lit.

I have high hopes when I read this quote from said article: “This is The Road Warrior to Pitch Black’s Mad Max.”

I was surprised that Vin actually was awesome in the movie and no one could have played the role better…Like TombRaider only one actor could ever play Lara Croft!

I was so looking forward to another movie and I am disappoint that none will happen…hmmm wonder if Vin D would do a Fan Film?

Unfortunately I don’t see that one coming but I’m still hoping that I’m wrong :P
