Synopsis

Vin Diesel reprises his role as the antihero Riddick in the latest chapter of the groundbreaking saga. A dangerous, escaped convict wanted by every bounty hunter in the known galaxy, 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 him to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty. With time running out and a deadly storm on the horizon that no one could survive, his hunters won't leave the planet without Riddick's head as their trophy. Also starring Katee Sackhoff (TV's Battlestar Galactica), Karl Urban (Star Trek Into Darkness) and Dave Bautista (WWE). (Original Title - Riddick)

Wesley Morris

He's spent the bulk of his career hiding in franchises, hypermasculinizing himself. We can live with this. But this new movie makes you wonder whether Diesel can.

Anthony Lane

David Twohy's film is scarcely original, but the sheer survivalist grind of our hero, against comical odds, becomes appealingly mad ...

Drew Hunt

A vibrant stylistic mishmash that works brilliantly in chunks but is ultimately too scattered to sustain any cohesion.

Peter Travers

Riddick, an alternately kick-ass and clumsy piece of sci-fi claptrap that puts its empty head down and gets the job done.

Bruce Ingram

Fans of lean, mean, testosterone-steeped sci-fi action are likely to find Riddick kind of a blast, however -- even though it offers few surprises.

Ty Burr

The movie's cheap but has a sense of humor, and it's smart enough to let Riddick just get back to being a badass.

James Berardinelli

Much of the film is over-the-top, but that won't be a surprise to those who saw the previous two installments. Diesel is in fine form, growling his lines and being the most menacing person on screen even when he's in chains.

Just plain bad Good idea but bad execution of a movie. The acting was bad as was the plot and the special effects were pretty poor as well. The planet looks fake and the acting had a lot of room for improvement. I would not recommend this movie to anyone unless you want to watch a poorly made movie with a few rare good parts.

Craig Piccolo February 23, 2014

What they heck!?! Did I just watch "A Boy and His Dog"?!? Don't get me wrong I love the Riddick story and own the other two, but this movie should be forgotten. The only reason I gave it two stars is Katee Sackhoff (aka Starbuck) shows her breasts at min 68 or so. Nice boobs, horrid movie.

Dustin Mays February 15, 2014

Decent scifi. Fans of the Riddick universe will enjoy this movie, but the ending is just too dang cheesy and rushed. It reminds me of the happy Blade Runner ending which doesn't make any sense. I guess I should have gone with the directors cut.

Nicholas Hagen September 19, 2014

Awsome You either loved it or hated it. Typical awesome Riddick movie!

joseph mahovetz January 15, 2014

Awesome Loved the movie... Sad part is when the dog dies. But overall the story line was good. loved how they kept the same actors and went back to reference pitch black And Chronicles of Riddick . Can't wait to see what comes next for the Riddick trilogies...

Ben Sieben January 28, 2014

Great sci-fi fun A bit silly (maybe less so than the previous films though) and simple, but lots of fun! A must for any sci-fi lovers

R Smyrna December 31, 2013

Excellent Typical Riddick movie... Fast paced, well acted, and well written.

Taylor Dodson March 7, 2014

It was pretty good Only thing they didnt need were the full nude scene and a partial. If those weren't in it I'd give a 4 1/2

Minh-Hoang Tran December 28, 2013

Blah Storyline The action was so so, story is not quite there, and the acting is not intriguing. Overall ok.
