left When it came out in 2000, Pitch Black took science-fiction aficionados by surprise with a charismatic anti-hero (played by Vin Diesel), innovative creature design and a very effective “less is more” visual approach. The film was produced on a shoestring budget, but four years later, director David Twohy got all the money he wanted to put his epic vision on screen for the sequel. It is a vision that encompassed no less than three different worlds, six classes of starships and some nasty alien creatures. In this new adventure, Riddick is caught in the middle of an invasion by a planet conquering religious sect, the Necromongers. Eventually, he becomes the key to the future of all beings in the galaxy.
