Necromonger Invasion | The Chronicles of Riddick | All Action

[@waynegroll2341]

Seeing this in the theater was nuts. No one I was with expected this movie to be good, but if you're a sci-fi fan at all, it just hits all the right notes.

[@Ranger215able]

1:26 Despite it being brief, the air battle was awesome.

[@GraceCole-qy6ul]

And 1800s awesome lol

[@williamfarlow2442]

I always thought this was one of the most 'Warhammer 40K' looking "planetary invasions" ever...they do a great job of capturing the scale that's described in those books. And the helpless dread of the populace. Imagine that the Necromongers are actually Iron Warriors and the Helion Prime troops are the local PDF.

[@davitalmonkey7387]

So real man. Iron Within, Iron Without.

[@BloodDX2]

Even though they were heavily outnumbered, out gunned and basically doomed from the start; those Helion Prime fighters put up a valiant fight.

[@CordeliaWagner]

Imagine the Necromongers were a real life religion. Nobody would reject their entitlement.

[@pantelisglezos9357]

I agree. They fought valiantly..I felt a sympathy for them👍

[@ericjustasinner5695]

I really did like that part of the movie

[@usmarine2100]

I always found it weird they had spaceships and energy weapons but no orbital defense weapons

[@oneshadowdragon]

No need the control vessel is strong enough to destroy a planet.

[@torresjosue98]

I remember loving this movie so much as a kid. There was a giant dent in the floor where I use to live,and I would jump across it in slow motion like Riddick. Felt like a badass

[@woadblue]

I used to draw Riddick all the time. Homework margins loaded with him and necromongers

[@astraworthington4348]

I love this movie so freaking much

[@michaelspencer8024]

The conquest icon falling is such a magnificent scene

[@nobbynobbs8182]

Underrated movie. Need to watch it again one of these days

[@ColdSid]

It was overshadowed by Alien Vs Predator and IRobot

[@fleetadmiralauto6506]

Ah yes, Chronicles of Riddick, the film where Dominic Toretto's descendant must save space Muslims from space necrophiliacs

[@dwarfie24]

But he fails, so instead he will riddivenge them, by becomming the first riddivenger.

[@SantanicoDiabolical]

They aren't Muslim, these people practice a religion that is the result of Christianity and Islam merging into Chrislam.

[@poppinc8145]

@@SantanicoDiabolical Examples? What their core beliefs are would determine their religion.

[@Heyphillipe]

Even when planning you can see that they don’t have the strength to use brute force on every planet in the Helion Prime system. They will choose to go after the smaller planets until eventually the biggest one, all while replenishing troops and supplies.

[@Heyphillipe]

Just like they do every planet and system they encounter or choose to encounter.

[@MoonV29]

This movie was so good that i was rooting out for the unknown faction against the Necromongers

[@BlueCollar850]

I seen this movie in theaters back in 2004. The part I remember most was when riddick looked up into the sky and took off his goggles to see for himself the ships invading the planet.

Take us to the underverse!

[@duckman9467]

I have a question. Are the Necromongers a nomadic society? Or do they have planets and conquered land of their own? That’s a scary question I had when watching this scene. Because on one hand if that’s all of them, a united force of empires or whatever it is in Riddick could band together and fight them. But if this is let’s say a vanguard or capital fleet that would imply there are sooooo many more of these bastards

[@lowlywarboy]

You could say the Necromongers are nomadic. They conquer systems and then convert or kill the populations. Necromongers don’t reproduce so recruiting from their defeated foes is the only way to replenish their ranks. Keep in mind their doctrine is based on attacking systems by surprise and sacking / converting the populations before any counter offensive can be mounted. Most people (at this point in the riddick universe) don’t even believe the necromongers are even real, let alone that they are a crusading fleet posing an existential threat to all sentient life in the universe. Check out the riddick wiki if you want to know more.

[@OlamRii]

They are nomadic the largest ship contains what was once the capital city on their planet . You are correct they could be easily wiped out but from how they operate they seem to go for isolated planets to build strength

[@aizen_world]

In the book it's mentioned that every time they conquer a world they would use that world resource and everything to make more ships and troops

[@duckman9467]

@@aizen_world I didn’t know there was a book

[@aizen_world]

@duckman9467 there is and I think there is a comic too but not sure if they still make it or not

[@thedoctor4327]

Never noticed before but this is basically the Harkonnens /Sardaukars invading Arrakis and wiping out the soldiers of House Atredies

[@TrentStevens-w6q]

This is pretty much shock and awe

[@selvamartaperalta8321]

Peliculón. La ví varias veces y cada vez me gusta más

[@TheQuota2001]

This scene did go wild in the movies I agree with the other comment

[@majorcoats7777]

1:02 how I'm gonna watch the nukes fall lol

[@TimeOfTroubles73]

Odd that they didn’t send a force to try and stop the Necros from ever reaching the planet.

[@RedneckRapture]

Said it in a previous video, I’ll say it again. This is when you’re like ‘we gave up nukes WHY?!’. A single nuke when they were inbound and the incoming would have been annihilated whole. End of invasion. Also, this society seems to have forgotten how to have a military.

[@christianriddler5063]

If you blow up a nuclear bomb in the upper atmosphere then that creates an EMP. This EMP will fry all electrical equipment in an area of hundreds of miles. It could do extreme damage the electrical, water, sewage, food storage infrastructure. You can't just blow up nukes and ignore the consequenses... People these days..

[@RedneckRapture]

@@christianriddler5063 If you detonated it farther out, say when they were at the orbit of your moon, it would have destroyed the invasion force without all that. And even then, when facing an invasion from forces you know will kill everyone on the planet, most sane governments would choose rebuilding all their electrical infrastructure over being invaded and losing. Even the US has widespread use of nuclear weapons as part of its 'defend the nation against invaders' policy. Personally, if I was their leadership and we lost the effort to defend against an invasion of genocidal cultists like these, I would detonate nuclear weapons at every major occupied zone in an effort to wipe them out so the next planet wouldn't suffer our fate.

[@teencomment]

Did you…pay attention to the video? At all?

[@CausticSpace]

shoot a nuclear bomb right above the city... do you hear yourself? Plus, it was clearly a surprise attack, considering the civ population wasn't already in bunkers/safety/whatever they have.

[@RedneckRapture]

@@CausticSpace Those ships weren't exactly stealthy. At the speed they were going, you could have looked at them with a telescope and realized something was wrong. So you can add criminally and suicidally negligent to the list.

[@albertorafaelcisnerosperfe4899]

Superb ❤

[@kumkumsaxena2582]

Amazing

[@ashtonjackfanny]

That ground to air attack was a recreation of the first gulf war the same thing can be seen in dune 1984. Some say the gulf war was really a defense against an alien invasion

[@ammanbansal2265]

I can definitely see how Dune influenced this movie, especially this scene.

[@jacqchl8304]

It's like Legion invasion but with Lich King and the death knights

[@rbclc]

They knew that The Necromongers were coming yet no orbital fleet are on stand by to guard their planet?

[@ArtypNk]

Planetary defenses were shooting at nothing at all with 100% of power, but stopped completely when the enemy ships actually showed up.

[@dantristancuizon685]

The pointy ship pierce to ground and destroy the power grid that's why you'll see the light turns off as well so it will render some defense system unusable without power.

[@barppoots4378]

Ugh why weren’t their fighters not in the air to begin with?

Better battle than in phantom menace
