Riddick - Collector's Edition 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray

love these movies

Very cool movie.

I have been an enthusiastic fan of the Riddick series with Vin Diesel since the first movie (Pitch Black) came out many years ago. Besides seeing all the series at the movies (with the exception of the cartoon version) I have also bought all the movies in this series. I recently purchased this DVD (Riddick: Rule the dark) at a bargain price on Amazon. My collection is now complete until he comes out with a new Riddick adventure.This tale begins where the last movie ends. Riddick as we know is an escaped convict and is known to be very dangerous. There is always a super high price on his head which means every bounty hunter in the universe is after him. After he is left for dead on what appears to be a hot and dead planet, his survival instincts kick in as he must battle the planet’s many predators. He realizes that staying on this hellish planet is not an option and sends out a signal into space that he is a wanted criminal with a bounty on his head.Not one, but two groups of vicious bounty hunters land and this is where the action begins to be intense as Riddick outsmarts those people out to get him. This is a story that is filled with the kind of action we have grown to love with the character of Riddick. I hope Vin Diesel makes more of these Riddick movies in the future.Rating: 5 Stars.

Vin Diesel in his prime. Good movie and cool concept.

This is technically the "second" of the Riddick series–Pitch Black (also an excellent movie), according to the director/writer, was the "Prequel" to the series. While Chronicles of Riddick will always be my favorite, borrowing elements (nicely) from David Lynch's Dune, this film seems a bit more like the original prequel (Pitch Black), but with a bigger budget, and with plot points that connect the three films.Without giving any spoilers away, Riddick finds himself on another harsh planet, working both with and against two teams of mercenaries. Vin Diesel is the only guy who can play this role. He really gets into it, alike a classical, method actor. His facial expressions are wide-ranging and suit the various aspects of the plot. He retains the glowing eyes/infrared vision from the rest of the series. It's a thrilling ride with a lot of innovative creatures and plot twists.Also, where Chronicles of Riddick borrowed heavily from Dune, this film takes quite a few elements from the Aliens movies (Alien and Aliens (the sequel, which was excellent).It's a thrilling ride, innovative, and simply kick ass.My only two qualms with the film are1) The endng–I watched it digital download as soon as it was out, but the blu-ray, Director's Cut version has an alternate ending. I'd like to see that without buying/renting it again.2) The Title – "Riddick" – I feel like they went the safe route and called it Riddiick, when it really is the third film in the series. They could have given it a better/more aggressive name given that it was the third film. I feel like calling it Riddick played it safe for audiences, when it really was the third title in the series. But, you take what you can get. Regardless, it is an excellent film, and I give it 5/5 for sure. Definitely worth a the price.

Excellent

Great movie

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.

El servicio de entrega de Amazon, como siempre, espectacular (al menos para los productos "Prime" que he pedido hasta el momento). El DVD llegó en perfecto estado, bien embalado y sin defectos. Y a un precio aceptable. De la película lo único que se puede decir es que a los que les gustara Pitch Black y Las Crónicas de Riddick no quedarán decepcionados, aunque puede que ésta (en mi opinión) sea la de menor calidad de las tres.

Good Movie Seller Send Brand New Sealed Dvd

This Bluray was produced by Shout! the video quality is really good seems like there was a tad bit noise reduction applied but it still looks film like in a very new movie like way. The audio track was well done as well.
