The Chronicles of Riddick
“All the power in the universe can't change destiny.”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 58, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Riddick moves from survival horror into an empire-sized conflict with an invading death cult. David Twohy surrounds Vin Diesel's contained menace with ornate Gothic spacecraft and an elaborate mythology. The scale can feel excessive, but the production design and a desperate prison escape give the expansion substance.
