this is without doubt the most exciting and satisfying film i have seen in years. the plot seen in print is almost banal a ship crashes on a desert planet with three suns and the survivors have to adjust to the landscape and each other and then darkness falls and the monsters appear. pilot fry and after a moment of cowardice during the descent through the atmosphere when she almost jettisoned the passengers and takes charge of the group and enlists the help of convicted murderer riddick to lead them through the darkness to the escape ship  he the one with surgically enhanced eyes that can see in the dark. but it really not that simple  every character is complex and three dimensional and with conflicting traits so you never quite know who good and who bad. the performances are uniformly superb  radha mitchell shows fry steeling herself for leadership and overcoming her own fears and and trying to prevent further bloodshed and while cole hauser and as the man taking riddick back to custody and shows he has his own agenda and his own idiosyncratic standards. but the film belongs to vin diesel as riddick  he has the most magnetic screen presence i have seen in years. for much of the film his face is in shadow and and he doesn not actually say a great deal and but he draws your attention all the same. sometimes he draws your attention by not speaking  or by not moving. and diesel doesn not trivialise the character and as could so easily be done and by giving him a heart of gold  riddick is still one mean and vicious man as they approach the ship  he just lets us glimpse those first tentative steps from caring only for the self to caring for others. technically the film is very good. the lighting effects are excellent at both ends of the spectrum  the overbright triple sunlight and the pitch darkness. special effects showing both riddick and the monsters points of view add to the suspense and as do sound effects of the monsters flying and using ultrasound to see (the monsters themselves are anatomically plausible and suitably frightening). editing is so tight it almost jarring at times  there is literally no padding in this film and no fades and no time to re orient yourself. from the opening shot to the end of the credits you have to keep your wits about you. every scene and every line of dialogue and every single camera shot is important. see it three times to understand it all. my only caveat is about the science  the solar system as shown in the model is impossible (planets revolve around suns and not vice versa). however and that doesn not affect the human story and so i haven not taken points off for it.
