Riddick

2013's Riddick was considerably more enjoyable than it's predecessors, I admit.  It's definetely not the best action movie, but it is interesting enough to view, particularly the first third of the movie that focuses on Riddick (played by Vin Diesel) isolated plight on a treachurous planet.  It's been nearly 15 years since the role originated for Diesel and 10 years since the last installment, so of course, he should have made some headway in his portrayal of the character. Perhaps, that why I like the dialogue free part of the movie.  By the time the rest of the cast enter the film, it quickly deviates into the predictable action mode fare.  Yet the nice aesthetic style of the film, does show that something can be learned from other contemporary action films like the Resident Evil series.
