Riddick 4K Ultra HD 4K UHD

How you do a trilogy!

Thanks Vin for a new installment in the Riddick universe. Though Diesel has a great sense of business acumen and loyalty to his fan base, I really long to see him in more dramatic roles. Riddick once again delivers a rough and tumble character piece-delivering it via action rather than well written words. I gave it five stars for Vin Diesel, who once again, was rationed on-screen. He eats the camera, people. I can't be the only that sees Riddick as a standup guy who is studiously persecuted for setting boundaries.The positives: Riddick's "force-of-nature" charisma. Not sure why everybody calls him an anti-hero. Johns is an anti-hero. Riddick is a niche waiting to be found. His character reveals a universe out of alignment simply by comparison. He lives truthfully and everyone resents him for it. He's miss-labeled, completely underutilized, a veritable Audi being used to deliver pizzas; Riddick galls the Necromongers by being the antithesis of death. The dude just wants to go home, but for some inexplicable reason--he rubs everyone the wrong way.The reality is, Riddick is exactly who you want with you when walking into Mordor (where one just doesn't walk), or traversing the mines of Moria. He's survives.Another positive: The Dog. The dog was not only realized beautifully via CGI, but seeing Riddick grab it and slide under the pincher creature to escape to greener pastures, while simultaneously disembowling it was one of the best scenes, if not the best scene, in the whole film.What I missed: really lovable mercs like Nick Chinlund. The mercs generally speaking, with the slight exception of Dahl and Johns were ... kinda boring, though I did like the kid. In fact, I wondered why the kid was even there with all of them and did he make it off the planet? I don't remember. I hope so.Another thing that was missing was Riddick rawhiding spaceships - and this may have been a budget thing. Maybe they simply couldn't afford cgi scenes with cool skiffs skimming the atmosphere and such, but it was sorely missed - especially with Riddick at the helm. The merc ships were ho-hum in design and the Necromongers ... well, aside from Karl Urban, they remained as borning as they were in The Chronicles of Riddick.All in all, to see our favorite Furyan in full survival mode during the first part of the film was worth the price of the download.

Of course I am a Vin Diesel fan, and so my review will be skewed because of that fact, but in order to be a reviewer I have to distance myself a bit and take a look at the Whole...So, having said that, I found the movie a very solid action flick that had very few (if any) lulls in the 'attention grabbing' department. The plot also solid because it picks right up after the last Riddick. It made sense. So few sequels catch that feeling of continuation that has brought the fan back for more in the first place.In this installment of Riddick, the Necromongers turn on their new king. And wasting little time in doing so. Riddick commands his new minions to return him to Fury for some unfinished business. But instead, they deceive him, and drop him off on a hellish planet and try their best to leave him for dead. As have so many others.But Riddick being ....well...Riddick, he soon adapts to a desert world of foul pools of poison waters where giant amphibian scorpions live. And as he struggles to find fresh water, he becomes the object of a relentless pursuit by packs of hellish canine beasts that stand six foot tall at the shoulder and look like a cross between a giant Doberman and a Hyena! Once again Riddick being Riddick, within a year or so he has made himself at home. He even adopts one of the canine beasts that soon turns out to be his best friend. He has once again made a life that he would thrive and be happy in.....if only things would stop going to hell for him. Off in the distance, his new friend warns him of a storm coming. But no normal shower this. Instead a whole sea of the scorpion monstrosities travel beneath the thrashing rain.....suddenly it all makes sense....all the pools of poison water...each infested with the poisonous amphibians...what will Riddick do?Great story. And a great CAST of unknowns are about to show up. Because he has no other choice but to send for help....But bounty hunters aren't the coastguard!

The third part of Riddick Saga receives a nice upgrade to 4K. There’s a copious amount of extras and the film has never looked better. Audio is terrific on this with a very active mix.The third installment finds Riddick betrayed by the Necro mongers. He is told that they found his home planet they take them there and they leave him for dead. After recovering in this hostile environment, Riddick discovers a way to get a ride back home from bounty hunters and that’s when the fun begins.The third film was originally shot at 2K so this has been upscale from 2K and it is a marvelous looking upscale. Detail is improved depth is improved delineation is improved overall compared to the original Blu-ray from over a decade ago. Well, this isn’t the best of the Riddick films, it comes in second place after “Pitch Black” has a high-quality adventure that is entertaining if sometimes a bit predictable. This film doesn’t focus on the world building of the second film.” The Chronicles of Riddick” and is much smaller than scope, which is really to the films advantage because it focuses on our characters and their struggle to survive. Kate Sackoff has a terrific supporting role. The entire cast is exceptional and does a great job working with the limitations of their character characters in the plot.Shot entirely on sound stages, using CGI for backdrops and backgrounds, this is an excellent film. That fans will enjoy. Shop Factory does a great job of updating this for 4K. It’s well mastered with plenty of space to handle all the darker sequences in the film. Highly recommend.
