From IMDB:

The wanted criminal Richard Bruno Riddick arrives on a planet called Helion Prime and finds himself up against an invading empire called the Necromongers, an army that plans to convert or kill all humans in the universe.

Anyone remember this movie? I just watched it and while there are boring parts, there is potential for intrigue and interest.

The necromongers also remind me a lot of warhammer. And I can see some parallels.

Your thoughts?

    I love Pitch Black, but I was a lot less impressed with the two follow-on Riddick movies. Part of that is the inappropriately accurate names (Crematoria, Furia) that feel like they should be in a YA fantasy novel. Part is the lack of three-dimensional characters, lack of character development, and lack of meaningful relationships. For me, Riddick was a fascinating character in Pitch Black because of the complexity of his motivations and his character development. In the later two movies he became a generic, infallible, superhero without any real personality, growth, or meaningful connections to anyone else.
