Riddick

The infamous 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 Riddick to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty.  The first ship to arrive carries a new breed of merc, more lethal and violent, while the second is captained by a man whose pursuit of Riddick is more personal. With time running out and a storm on the horizon that no one could survive, his hunters won't leave the planet without Riddick's head as their trophy.

This was a great movie for what it was supposed to be.  It is a majorly testosterone fueled movie about a bunch of thugs arguing with each other and then having to fight together against the alien inhabitants on the planet.  There was just enough story that kept you interested in the characters and there was much more continuity with the two previous entries in this franchise than I expected and the alien makeup/design is still some of the better work out of any recent attempts to capture that look/feel from the Aliens franchise.

If you liked either of the first two movies based on the Riddick character, you should definitely like this one.  I wasn't really a fan of The Chronicles Of Riddick but loved Pitch Black.  This was much more like Pitch Black thankfully.
