[@swish007]

this has always been my favorite Riddick movie because of the Necromongers. this was an enemy that was much more compelling than just swarms of aliens or monsters. I loved that they had a distinct culture and there was a freaky supernatual-ish aspect to them. I also really loved the later segments on the sun-scorched prison planet. yes, very underrated movie

[@thinkforyourself2109]

In my opinion, this is one of the best action sci-fi movies ever. It's criminally underrated. There is so much in this film, you can't get it all in one watching. As an expression on religion and culture it's impressive. It's the best film of the Riddick series by far. I can't wait for Furya to come out.

@@ForgottenLore Yeah, I appreciate the weird plot and worldbuilding though. It's compelling and different

[@thinkforyourself2109]

@@ForgottenLore Some of the actors in it are not great, I agree, but the story is one the best sci-fi plots ever. King Vidor's Our Daily Bread (1934) is comparable: truly bad acting but a great morality tale. One thing I like about Chronicles is that on the surface it's just an action SF movie, vehicle for vin Diesel, etc -- but beneath the surface it's an epic story rich with symbolism. Chronicles really deserve its own tv series. There are so many complex characters and layers in the Necromonger / New Mecca / Furya universe, it deserves such a show.

[@Kantuva]

Just came here randomly after having it recommended on that sidebar and watching Helms Deep, and yeah, can't but agree, I really need to rewatch it and the first Riddick too, I remember when I was a teen and saw the movie and really liked it, me being a teen ofc, but now as an adult seeing it with different eyes, appreciating the work that went into its creation and aesthetics is great

3:36 It feels like this shot was cut off before it should've been. I think the intent was to end with Riddick standing at the back, revealing that he's there for the first time and showing his defiance against the Necromongers.

[@psychotrixAVMC]

Dunno about that specific timing, but this is a short version of the scene. The bigger version of the movie tells part of the Furyan story and why the Lord Marshal is doing this campaign. In this particular scene, when the Lord Marshal handles the dagger to Riddick, they stand off defiantly grabbing the dagger and the Lord Marshal dialogues to Riddick (similar to this): LM: Are you familiar to me ? Have we met on some distant battle field ? R: You would think I would remember. LM: Yes, you would think I would too. Then the LM releases the dagger and the scene follows as it is here. I believe that version of the movie you do not have so much chatter of Riddick's thoughts, as you have been introduced to a greater context. On the short version of the movie, you have a lot of Riddick's thoughts, as he wonders what is happening and what's he gonna do next. I figure they had to do this to give some follow-able arc, since the bigger picture is missing. In fact it is absolutely amazing how both versions seem to tell a very different story with just a few scenes and speech differences. The bigger version is more complete and adds more sense to the whole movie - albeit it is a more "standard" traditional arc of good vs bad. The shorter version is more neutral and unbiased - the good vs bad is not so clear (because you never know about Riddicks' past and what he has done) - amazing how they pulled that one off.

I was a bit gutted by the last one, it had the Riddick feel to it but this film had so much going on. Id like a series to be made out of it, it has so many facets with all the different worlds and differently evolved humans its potential to tell stories is huge. Also, Keira, maybe there is some kind of Necro technology where at the end she was maybe saved, she should of been in the next film, its like Ripley and Newt in Aliens, they built up a story with 2 great characters and then ones killed off, i think it was an error i really liked her style.
