Blu-ray Reviews of Chronicles of Riddick & Pitch Black [Blu-ray]

Blu-ray Review: great set!
Summary: 5 Stars

I love these movies (more pitch black than chronicles) but it's a take it as it is thing... it's not Shakespeare, but it is entertaining. I wish they would have tossed Dark Fury in somehow though to make it the complete set. I know it was bad but it served it's purpose... it was a filler story at best but it brought in the Toobs character and gave a relationship between Toombs & Riddick so viewers don't feel like they missed something.

Pitch Black was released under the radar last year and was not perfect but some people are nitpicking a little too much about it:

* "An eclipse every 23 years that just happens to fall on the day they crash"
NO! the last recorded event of the eclipse was 23 years ago when everyone there died leaving no one else to record the next event... it could happen every 12 days for all we know but there hasn't been anyone to record it since then.

* "Chronicles of Riddick had better visuals"
Duh! Pitch Black was a pretty low production movie and was released 4 years earlier.

Chronicles of Riddick was OK but I felt they could have gone another/better direction had they not written the entire story around Riddick's origin. To anyone familiar with Dragonball Z it seems all to familiar (Saiyan/Furian) and the whole all powerful tyrant prophesized to be overthrown by a single survivor of a warrior race he attempts to wipe out was kind of weak... a prequel written around his escape from prison that lead to his incarceration at the beginning of Pitch Black would have been better in my opinion.

I've seen some reviews on the 2-for-1 pack complaining that their movie locks up on their blu-ray for the "director's cut" but mine played fine and I have a cheap POS blu-ray player that doesn't even support firmware updates. I'm starting to think the firmware updates may be messing with some of these players.
