Considering the time and budget, Chronicles of Riddick doesn’t get nearly the credit it deserves for what it is

I know this is one of those movies where some love it and some say it’s just a stupid movie. But considering what it is, the budget it had, the time it was made, it’s actually a good watch, especially if you haven’t seen it in a long time.

I don’t think many mid-budget movies have been so ambitious with so much world building and establishing fresh lore. This franchise isn’t based on any source material. No novels, no comic books, no games. Just Pitch Black and then this one. Considering the epic failures of some movie franchises trying to adapt books and other material, the effort put into these movies, and especially COR, is genuinely impressive, and even if you don’t like the movie, you should respect the effort and want more of it.
