Chronicles of Riddick good idea/bad idea?

I am a big fan of pitch black but Iam alittle skeptical about this.What do you think?

all i know is that my husband wants to see this thing..it looks rather interesting to tell you the truth

Me too...The trailer looks sweet, though I have a feeling that The Chronicles of Riddick won't live up to its predacessor.

Tough one... There were many things I liked about Pitch Black, but quite a few things that I didn't care for. I liked the style but the story and characters all fell short for me....

I think there might still be some legs in the idea of an anti-hero whose visciousness means he ends up protecting those of a more sensitive disposition (almost by accident. Showing up the extremes/down-sides in both life approachs)

But then again, it might just be very silly.

Pitch Black was the only Vin Diesel movie I liked out of all the ones I have seen. I think it will be good but not as good as Pitch Black.

Virtually every Vin Diesel movie that I know of kicks ass.

Hmm, i dont think its fair to compare 'Pitch Black' and 'Chronicles...'. The latter is clearly very different and looks more like a cool but expensive actioner

yeah according to the trailers this one looks alot different.When pitch black came out it had some of the best special fx at the time.

The thing I liked most about Pitch Black was the simplicity of it. The "no idea who is gonna die next" plot was great. If they keep the new movie simple I think it will do great, if they dont then I hope it at least makes sense.

my favorite part in the movie

Check out the new trailer for the Chronicles of Riddick here.

is this a sequal or prequal to Pitch Black?

Prequel

I loved pitched black only I can't help but think that this looks a bit too far ahead in the time line. or am I the only one?

I realized that in pitched black it was an uninhabitted planet and all... and other than the spaceship not much technology "stuff" was in it. Now that they are trying to explain it away by stating this is another planet Riddick is visiting. I can't help but draw the conclusion in my mind that this place looks a lot more future-ish... perhaps too far from the time pitch black occured.

Anyone else bother by this effect?
