Riddick (15)
Directed by David Twohy
Vin Diesel reunites with director David Twohy for the third time to reprise his role as the anti-hero Riddick.
It’s a sequel that has no pretensions about its limitations.
A vast improvement on the previous film but not a patch on Pitch Black, Riddick is nevertheless a bonkers but entertaining ride.
In a fight for survival our hero pits his wits against two ships of mercenaries who arrive to capture him while battling an alien race of predators.
With creatively gruesome deaths this non-stop action packed sci-fi is ludicrous but great fun.
