Movie's #92 + 93- The Chronicles of Riddick

In Pitch Black Vin Diesel plays Riddick, a criminal being transported to prison on a spaceship but when they're hit by comet debris they crash on a desert planet where he escapes. However, when predatory alien creatures begin attacking the survivors, Riddick joins forces with the crew to develop a plan to escape the planet. A sci-fi film that has the gritty futuristic DNA of 'Alien' and the ingenuity of 'The day after tomorrow'. Director David Twohy takes the old style monster movies and slings them into the 21st century with a sleek, visually inventive style of filmmaking. The Chronicles of Riddick is set five years after the events of Pitch Black as Riddick attempts to avoid capture. As a sequel this film is dissapointing but that doesn't make it bad, it has the comic book energy and the eye-popping set designs that make it a movie with a cult following. These two films have proved to be a hit over the years because of it's stylish world and explosive action.
