Sci-fi needs more than special effects

The whole idea of ​​the film is very interesting, and the rhythm is also very tight, and the performance of the supporting characters, especially the good and bad performances in the play, is even more exciting.
Although it is a science fiction film, the Chinese name is translated very modernly. However, the story still contains a lot of things from the Bible (in fact, the English name originally told a story in the Old Testament of the Bible), especially the birth process of riddick, which is too similar to Jesus.

The special effects of the film are not outstanding, especially the bosses of all the planets are designed to be human. Instead of all kinds of intelligent creatures (even the elemental ones are mainly humanoid). However, the actors' performances and the tense plot structure have also achieved another balance.

The Chronicles of Riddick quotes

  • Richard B. Riddick: Don't bother. Guards ain't there. They figured out the Necros are comin' for me. Plan was to clean the bank, ghost the mercs, break wide for the tunnel. And then somebody got a lucky shot off with this rocket launcher here... and took out the sled. Guards took off on foot but rigged the door so no one could follow. They'll take the one ship in the hangar and leave everyone else to die.

    Toombs: How come you know all this shit? You weren't even here.

    Richard B. Riddick: Cause it was my plan.

  • Richard B. Riddick: It's an animal thing.
