Very entertaining movie, the first one in the series that I had the chance to see. Without even knowing anything it isn't difficult to jump into. The whole concept of Crematoria was pretty cool I gotta say. Worldbuilding was very well done, pretty much everything regarding the Necromongers was amazing.

The Chronicles of Riddick sacrifices the first Riddick film's tension for scope, making this entry in the franchise closer to a sword & sorcery epic than a monster-driven thriller. Riddick's ambiguity is also traded off for simple, bold character traits (his irrepressible will and knack for escaping from any situation), and less usefully, for genetic heritage. The universe of Riddick expands to include many human races and several well-realized worlds as it turns out he's the "chosen one" to defeat an evil Necromonger bent on converting all the known worlds to his faith. There's a lot of money on the screen - sets, effects, costumes, and cast (Judi Dench, Thandie Newton, Colm Feore...). Some might bristle at this very different take, but I quite like the idea of the character's "Chronicles" changing his fortunes with every film and going into different territory. Alas, the third film is fated to betray that promise.
