Riddick is crowned king of his enemies, the all- conquering cult the Necromongers but gets betrayed by his jealous rival Vaako (Karl Urban returning for a one-scene cameo) while searching for his original home planet of Furya.

Kicked off a cliff in a desolate alien-infested planet, he is forced to seek shelter from the harsh rocky landscape and the vicious alien creatures that inhabit it. Needing a ride out of there, he sends a distress beacon which calls down two separate teams of Mercenaries, one a decent professional outfit run by Johns (Matt Nable) and his tough right hand woman Dahl (Katee Sackhoff).

The other is a bunch of crude bad space pirates led by the vicious and unpleasant Santana (Jordi Molla). Both groups are looking for Vin, but for different reasons; Santana wants Vin's head in a box and Johns has more of a personal issue with Vin. Vin just wants to get off the planet, using either one of the ships, he doesn't care which one, he isn't picky.

There is a lot of violence although in this movie Vin prefers using blades over guns. There is even little nudity compliments of Katee!

This movie reminded me more of Pitch Black when the enemies have to unite their power to survive the planet’s hostile creatures. So if you liked Pitch Black you surely like this one too. The sound effects and visuals add much to the dark atmosphere.
