I quite enjoyed it. Big and dumb, and a lot of fun. Definitely some warts on it, but overall a pretty good antihero sci-fi flick. Great effects, cool visuals, kick-ass fights... a wicked hot female lead. Not much not to like unless you've got a hate on for the Vin man. :)

The ending was ripped straight out of Conan, but despite all that I came out with a grin on my face. It was no Star Wars, but it was no Wing Commander either!

Pitch Black came first, followed by Riddick. The reason they're not calling it Pitch Black two is twofold:

1. It's a different genre - PB was horror/sci-fi, and CoR is sci-fi/action.
2. More importantly, CoR is the first in a trilogy (assuming it makes enough money to warrant that) they plan to do called overall the Chronicles of Riddick. This is just the first installment. Calling it Pitch Black 2 when it's much less related to that than to the sequels to come seemed silly to them.
