    I have long been of the opinion that #TheChroniclesOfRiddick is the best of the 3 #Riddick movies, and that hasn't changed from watching them in the right order. (TCOR was the first that I ever watched.)

    And that's not just because it has #LinusRoache and the most terrifying (albeit chemically ludicrous) sunrise in movie #SciFi.

    Instead of going for the mega-corporate future of Alien, it went for the Dune-style future of court intrigue, multiple planets and civilisations, and enslaved humans turned into specialized cyborgs. It's greater in scope than the other two, which are are pretty much single-planet slasher movies.

    It has interstellar daring raids, a prison break, a chase, and a duel.

    The #Necromongers's set decorations are impressive; Islam is still the only religion (of "many religions") that gets an actual mention; and France is out of the picture.

    One unanswered question: Why is the sled display on Crematoria in #Cyrillic?

    'Skittish, Toombs. Very skittish.'

    @JdeBP My problem is I don't like all the complex fantasy stuff; so I much prefer the original Pitch Black scifi/horror.
