Riddick, now a hunted man, finds himself in the middle of two opposing forces in a major crusade. <a href=">Colm Feore plays Lord Marshal, a warrior priest who is the leader of a sect that is waging the tenth and perhaps final crusade 500 years in the future. <a href=">Judi Dench is Aereon, an ambassador from the Elemental race. She is an ethereal being who helps Riddick unearth his origins. Five years ago… Escaped convict Richard B. Riddick escaped from a desert planet with his two companions, religious man Imam and runaway teenage girl Jack. After five years wandering across the outskirts of the galaxy and being hunted by bounty hunters calming the bounty on his head, Riddick arrives on the colonized planet New Mecca, he learns Imam placed the bounty on his head and Jack has been imprisoned on the prison planet "Crematoria" for murder. Riddick learns from Aereon, ambassador of the Elemental race is seeking out Furians, a race of warriors in a bid to balance the universe, as a warrior army known as The Necromongers led by the evil undead Lord Marshal are invading every planet in the galaxy and cleansing all of humanity in their goal for universal conquest. Beliving Riddick is a Furian warrior, Aereon decides to hire Riddick believing he is the one man who can stop The Lord Marshal and the Necromongers. When the Necromongers attacks New Mecca, Riddick is captured by cocky bounty hunter Toombs and his crew and he is transported to Crematoria, where he reunites with Jack now named 'Kyra', where Riddick and Kyra escapes to the planet's sun ravaged surface, where Riddick helped by Necromonger warrior Vakko and his sexy wife Dame Vakko, sets out to defeat the Lord Marshal and save the universe from the Lord Marshal's rule and save the rest of humanity from being converted into Nercomonger warriors. …What exactly? The adventures of one of cinema's most muscular, bad ass criminals, or the downfall of motion pictures? Well, both actually. I cannot think of a single convincing reason to see this film under any normal circumstances, but I saw "The Chronicles of Riddick" under some pretty abnormal circumstances. It seemed tailor-made for the braindead MTV crowd (who seem to get a buzz off these kinds of movies), which I am a part of unfortunately, but what am I going to do?<br/><br/>It started with the release of "Pitch Black - Unrated Director's Cut" on DVD a few weeks ago, and inside was a free movie ticket to see "Chronicles."<br/><br/>So as you would guess, I only saw "Chronicles" because I know that I'm not passing up a chance to see a movie for free, regardless of whether I'm going to like it or not.<br/><br/>I liked David Twohy's "Pitch Black" because he presented to us one of the best crafted science fiction films in years and his direction was as sharp as a tack. It was also the last movie that I really liked Vin Diesel in.<br/><br/>"Chronicles" really has nothing to do with the events of the first movie except for the star and one minor character (Keith David) who was also in the first film. This time out, our hero Riddick has a massive bounty on his head, and learns that a fascist-like military regime is intent on wiping out life on certain planets unless they convert to this "religion" so they can see the "Underverse." Whatever that is, and that's about all there is to the story.<br/><br/>I was really not planning to see this film; the news that it was originally rated "R" (10 minutes of supposed character development and graphic violence were cut to make it "PG-13") was my first warning sign to keep away. But that damn ticket was burning a hole in my wallet and I finally gave into it.<br/><br/>On the plus side, there are some nice, if not sloppily edited action scenes and lush visuals that give the planets an eerily-beautiful look. David Twohy proved with "Pitch Black," 2002's "Below," and 1996's "The Arrival" that he's a capable filmmaker but his work on this film should be passed over and he should just move on and forget it.<br/><br/>6/10 **** Spoilers*** I thought Pitch Black was one of the best Sci-fi films since Alien and Aliens, so when I saw "Chronicals of Riddick" I was disappointed, that was until I got the DVD, then I saw the directors cut, and it was 10 times better than the Theatical version. There were no sound effects, or even sound for that matter in the US release, but with the directors cut there's more violence action and sound with it, I loved it…. Please make the Trilogy Vin Diesle Rocks. Also the prison scene should have been a bit darker. Another quarrel I had is that the writer never explained the reason for his eyes. Why did he need them in prison, unless he was in solitary? Why didn't he go back as soon as he arrived? Just a few flaws, but still entertaining. This is a movie so devoted to metal that it couldn't care less about the flesh it destroys. Escaped convict Richard Riddick (<a href="/name/nm0004874/">Vin Diesel</a>) is lured to the planet Helion Prime by Imam Abu al-Walid (<a href="/name/nm0202966/">Keith David</a>) with whom he was marooned five years ago on a desert planet where they were hunted by vampiric raptors. Imam and air elemental Aereon (<a href="/name/nm0001132/">Judi Dench</a>) believe that Riddick was born a Furyan and may be the only one able to stop evil Half Dead Lord Marshal (<a href="/name/nm0272173/">Colm Feore</a>), the leader of a crusading warrior sect known as Necromongers who are planning to convert or kill all humans in the universe. Helion Prime is subsequently invaded by Lord Marshal, and Riddick is captured by bounty hunter Toombs (<a href="/name/nm0157915/">Nick Chinlund</a>) and transported to Crematoria, a prison planet where daylight temperatures climb to over 700 degrees and nighttime temperatures plunge to 300 degrees below zero. But it's not all that bad, because Riddick learns that the only other person to have survived the raptors with him and Imam, a young girl named Jack, is also imprisoned on Crematoria. However, the Necromongers are also on their way. The Chronicles of Riddick is the second movie in the Riddick trilogy, preceded by <a href="/title/tt0134847/">Pitch Black (2000)</a> (2000), which was based on a screenplay written by American screenwriters Jim Wheat, Ken Wheat, and David Twohy. Using three of the characters (Riddick, Imam, and Jack) created in Point Black, Twohy wrote the screenplay for The Chronicles of Riddick. It was followed by <a href="/title/tt1411250/">Riddick (2013)</a> (2013). Disguised as a Necro warrior, Riddick returns to Helion Prime on the Necro ship to rescue Kyra (<a href="/name/nm1111968/">Alexa Davalos</a>) and kill the Lord Marshal. Meanwhile, Lord Vaako (<a href="/name/nm0881631/">Karl Urban</a>) is named first among Commanders making him heir apparent to Lord Marshal. Vaako and his wife (<a href="/name/nm0628601/">Thandie Newton</a>) scheme to kill Lord Marshal until Dame Vaako realizes that Riddick is still alive. She suggests that Vaako let Riddick attack Lord Marshal first in order to weaken him so that Vaako can more esily strike the killing blow. As the Necro warriors assemble in the Necropolis for the "day of days" celebration, Riddick makes a leap for Lord Marshal, who easily evades him. Instead of having Riddick instantly killed, Lord Marshall invites Riddick to join with the Necromongers and shows him that Kyra has already converted. As Kyra walks past him, Riddick asks her if she's "with him", but Kyra does not reply. Riddick reacts by throwing a Furyan blade at Lord Marshall, which nicks him slightly, and they turn on each other. Using his Half Dead powers, Lord Marshal gains the upper hand. When he tries to take Riddick's soul, however, Riddick gets a rush of strength, and they go at it again. Just as Lord Marshal starts to gloat about his powers, Kyra spears him in the back. Lord Marshal retaliates by batting her across the room, impaling her on a spike. Realizing this is the best time to strike, Vaako grabs a Necro axe and makes his move but misses. Riddick picks up his Furyan knife and stabs Lord Marshal in the head, killing him. Tending to the mortally wounded Kyra, Riddick asks her once again if she is with him. "I was always with you," she says with her dying breath. In the final scene, Riddick collapses on the Necro throne, and the Necromongers kneel before him. "You keep what you kill," Riddick reminds himself. Two. To gross more at the box office, the film was heavily cut in order to obtain the financially lucrative PG-13 rating. This version was released in theatres and later on DVD. Some time later, an unrated Director's Cut found its way on the home entertainment market. It includes all the scenes that had to be cut out and adds more story to the film. It runs more than 14 minutes longer. a5c7b9f00b Pirates of the Caribbean: Tales of the Code: Wedlocked full movie torrentPoker Night movie download hdfree download Hunter x HunterMaximum Overdrive full movie in hindi free downloadDownload Call of Duty: Black Ops full movie in hindi dubbed in Mp4Two Gun Justice 720p torrentthe Sanit rio Maligno downloadHardcore! full movie download in hindiTotal Recall in hindi movie downloadthe Milo Murphy's Law hindi dubbed free download
