Seventeen yeas ago I reviewed The Chronicles of Riddick (2004) and besides the fact I wrote better back then I also thought the movie was average good (and I probably watched it in a theater). I recently watched it again and this is such an old-fashioned practical effects science fiction movie that looks a bit dated.

And yet the storyline is fine. Riddick (Vin Diesel) is suitably bad-ass and the universe has a Warhammer 40k feel even though I know little about W40k lore. It gives me nostalgic feelings and I guess today I view it as a good action sci-fi movie set in a media franchise that was limited but had depth.
