Definitely an underrated sci fi trilogy. Personally would rather have another entry in Riddick’s story than another half dozen Fast and Furious movies

For all its flaws, I still absolutely love The Chronicles of Riddick. And Riddick is a nice return to the series' roots.

Most people first remember Vin Diesel from the Fast and the Furious, this was the first movie I remember actually seeing him in. To me, he'll always be Riddick!

This trilogy is really good and very underrated more people should definitely watch it. I also think this was one of Vin Diesel’s best performances.

Such a fun little lowbudget sci-fi horror absolutely drenched in Y2K era style. The monsters in this movie are some of my favorites of all time, they have such a unique look to them.

Jen: *Immediately starts talking about good guys and bad guys* Me: *Remembering one of the major themes of this movie is breaking down the walls and blurring the lines between them* 😬

Multiple viewings later, I never noticed this until now: at the beginning when they're crash landing and the pilot wants to jettison the passengers, she mutters, "I'm not going to die for them." Pretty cool how that ties to her words with Riddick at the end. (It had me reciting, "Not for me!")

Now that you've seen Pitch Black, you got to see dark Fury. It picks up where this left off but it's an anime. It also helps transition into Chronicles of Riddick. I think you'd appreciate the art style.

To me Vin Diesel will forever be Riddick, he was born for this role 😎 “How do I get eyez like that?” “Gotta kill a few people, get sent to a max where you don’t see daylight”

As he said, the Riddick that arrived on the planet died there, a new Riddick was born when she died for him.

Classic. Great cast (Keith David's a legend, Claudia Black too amongst older sci-fi fans). On my first watch, the character arcs reminded me of Aliens. Few films are compared kindly to Aliens in my head. Pitch Black is most definitely one of them.

Vin Diesel makes the movie what it is! He made this highly underated movie into a masterpiece! The monster beat downs were the best!

This was one of my father and my favorite movies , I went to see it with him and he enjoyed the hell out of it. My father is not with me anymore, so it holds a special place in my heart. Also Riddick is such a bad ass character, who is more complicated than he lets on. You get more of his backstory in follow up movies. My favorite line is when he is forced to kill one of the creatures when Jack is in trouble. "Did not know who it was fucking with". It is one of the top ten badass lines in movies. Also Keith David, Claudia Black. Cole Houser, Radha Mitchell. It a stack cast

Vin Diesel’s best movie and a true underrated classic.

This is a great series. Pitch Black released as just that title, the Chronicles of Riddick part was added after the next film and when they decided it could be a franchise. There are 4 films in the Chronicles currently with rumours of a fifth in early development. The next film is called Dark Fury and is an animated feature that tells the story between this film and the next live action which is Chronicles of Riddick. That film is much of a grand space opera style. Then finally you have Riddick which narrows the story back down again. There was also a great couple of video games for the first Xbox and later consoles/PC. Telling the story of Riddick in the Butcher Bay max security prison. Escape From Butcher Bay and Assault on Dark Athena.

Honestly I think Vin looked his best in this film.

Definitely watch the rest of these. So much fun each one of them. This movie in particular actually was a big hit when it was out.

Absolutely love these movies! Riddick definitely isn’t a good guy but not exactly a bad guy.

My wife and I love this movie! We're cooking dinner right now so once we're done we're gonna watch. We know you're gonna love it, enjoy Jen!

Before you watch the second movie 'The Chronicles of Riddick', there's an animated film 'Dark Fury' that links pt1 and pt2! There's also 2 outstanding X-Box games 'Escape From Butcher Bay', and 'Assault on Dark Athena'.

You should definitely watch Chronicles and the third Riddick film.

!!! Yes! More people finally being introduced to the Riddick franchise

Such a great movie! Low budget small promotion but still made it to become a Riddick franchise! Now that's a movie series! I really hope you watch the rest of the series. The action gets even better with a bigger budget and bigger actors! Jen you always have the best sci-fi movies on your channel and I'm a big fan!!❤ Looking forward to your next movie! Luv ya Jen ❤️💛

A great series. Make sure to watch the unrated cuts of The Chronicles of Riddick and Riddick. There are key story elements in those cuts that were left out of the theatrical versions.

more Chronicles of Riddick please!

So glad you are doing this one! Underrated trilogy!

It was a sleeper hit, to be sure, grossing over twice its 23 Million Budget and eventually becoming sort of a cult classic. It was also Vin Diesels' first leading role. It has two Sequels, both also directed by David Twohy: "The Chronicles of Riddick" (which is more of a Space Opera, greatly expanding this Universe) and "Riddick" (which is more of a Horror-Film similar to the Original). A fourth Movie, "Riddick: Furya", is currently in pre-production.

Riddick is such a fun character/universe. Vin is not an amazing actor but he know how to make FUN movies. Hes a die hard nerd and even though im not an F&F fan, everyone should see them at least once, if not just cuz that big nerdy lug worked hard on them for us.

Claudia Black(the woman who was torn in half) has been in several sci-fi series (Stargate & Farscape spring to mind) She plays a Quarian admiral in Mass Effect and she voiced Morrigan in the Dragon Age games as well.

This didn't start the anti-hero genre, where the "good guy" is a bad guy with a sliver of a conscience, but it stands out for me as a prime example.

CRIKEY this was a banging good movie ! 😄 Pitch Black was filmed entirely in Australia with a mostly Aussie cast such as Claudia Black who was the first girl killed by the creatures at the beginning and she was also in a series called FARSCAPE . The lead girl Radha Mitchell is actually an Aussie but plays an AMERICAN here she is also in the remake of THE CRAZIES which is a great end of world horror thriller you should also check out Jen And who can forget Vin Diesel as Riddick this was my first introduction to him such a powerhouse action figure here and watching his change of heart at the end made me want to jump up and cheer . In the darkening hours of Halloween season it makes perfect sense to watch this SCI FI /horror thriller👺 😉 glad to have caught this as always looking forward to more reactions from you JEN TAKE CARE CHEERS .😊🙏

love all 3 of them

And this is why I love you Jen Murray! You always watch the classics! 😂

Fantastic sci-fi on an indie budget. Great performances all around, but Vin's gravely narration is really chilling and sets the tone for the 'Riddickverse' going forward. If you can find it, check out the animated midquel Dark Fury, which bridges Pitch Black to Chronicles of Riddick.

"Oooh he can see in the dark!...well that's no good on this planet" 10 minutes later: _total solar eclipse!_

Cool! I was happy to see this on the playlist note. It floats around on the edge of attention, but hasn't really been given a lot of focus. This will be fun! Thanks! Here we go! :)

the fact that you recognized Keith David as Captain Anderson from Mass Effect is actually pretty amusing. I'd seen him in lots of stuff but it wasn't until I got big into Mass Effect that I started remembering the shows and movies he was in. :)

Riddick is THE antihero. Chronicles of Riddick is the sequel to this and picks up from this one but a few years later. Riddick is the last of the 3.

Of note, Imam was played by Keith David who also co-starred in The Thing 😯

Really cool movie. Radha Mitchell was everywhere in the 1990s-2000s. I was pleasantly surprised to see her become kind of a mainstream star, because early on she was more known as an indie actor. Her character's death gave this sci-fi horror movie a surprisingly emotional punch. The 2nd movie, "The Chronicles of Riddick" is probably my favorite because it is just so audacious. They went WAY deep with the lore and the universe-building in that one. The third movie was a retread of the first movie, but just as well done, so there is something for everyone in this series. Finally, there was a video game that was part of The Chronicles of Riddick, called "Escape from Butcher Bay", and it was shockingly good. Not only as a game, but as an exploration of Riddick's backstory. I really hope it gets a remaster for modern consoles/PC.

Great sci-fi horror movie. Thank you Jen Murray for the reaction . It's one of Vin Diesel best movies. Part 2 is worth the watch too. Peace fellow Canuck!

Always appreciate a Mass Effect reference. The Riddick series is a lot of fun

For the escape scene, Vin actually dislocated his shoulders for that scene. Everything you seen was the real deal even him grabbing the torch as he fell.

In this movie we know nothing who this Riddick is. The Chronicles of Riddick movies shed a light on that. Recommended you check them out.

The whole Riddick saga, but especially this first one, is totally underrated.

Friggin' love this movie. I saw it in the theater three times and it still never gets old🤘

wonderful reaction young lady, Now, before you watch the next installment, The Chronicles of Riddick, there is an animated movie called Dark Fury, which will explain what happened between the end of Pitch Black, and the start of Chronicles. And, it is amazing to boot. If you don't watch it, the continuity will be a little janky.

“SNATCHED!” One of the best things GS about Jen videos is the single word reactions to action scenes. 🤣

I saw this in the theater, and the visuals were incredible.

Can we say that this movie is borderline... Riddick-culous?

One of Vin's best.

Don't know if it's true, but I heard that they wanted to cut the double shoulder dislocation for some reason. Since Vin Diesel actually did that and it wasn't CG, he told them it was going no matter what they said

I hadn't graduated yet when it came out. I didn't even know it existed til Chronicles of Riddick. The 3rd one was good too.

Riddick is one of my favorite sci-fi characters ever. Chronicles of Riddick gets a lot of criticism, and to be fair some of the dialogue is a bit "action movie-ish", but the world building is amazing and he's such a great character. If you react to that one, I'm 100% in!

Yes please, more Riddick! Saw this in the cinema and had a lasting impression.

13:06 and the brunette lady is Morrigan from Dragon Age :)

To be so old and yet see someone so young enjoy and feel these films like I once did. Warms my heart. :) This one is still recent to me. Wrath of Khan is the one you broke me on. Which is like 20 years later.

This is my favourite “scary” movie.

This is one of those movies that becomes an instant classic as soon as it's released. Hard to believe it's almost a quarter of a century since its debut!

Yes to more Riddick movies.

Loved your reaction for this. This certainly was different than other Sci-Fi movies at the time.

Yes Jen I would love to see you react to the other Riddick movies, also I love your shirt.

Thanks for tackling this, Jen. I liked this in the theater and a çouple of times since.

This film had some great ideas and concepts for a modern Sci Fi. Vin Diesel owns this role! Once again Jen, GREAT SELECTION! Can't wait for more coming up! Big fan, always here...Eric 😊

I always appreciated when he told the girl, “ don’t you cry for him, don’t you dare” because he knew what Johns was going to do to her.

Hey Hey there Jen Murray. Had a perfect time watching you react to the jump-scares. Hope you have a perfect weekend. 😉👌

The first and the best. It came out of nowhere and was good film. Very distinctive

dear Jenny; your enthusiasm for this movie makes it so much fun 😊. Ps: this low budget film has an excellent cast 🎉❤

Cute shirt, Jen! I'm looking forward to watching this.

“For you, buddy” Your Canadian is showing. 👍🏼 keep up the great content

I love the color shift in this film when the yellow sun sets, and the blue dwarf dominates. Something I can't recall seeing before and it really struck me when I watched it in the theatre.

1 - I love that this check recognized Cpt Anderson's voice from ME. He's done a shit ton of roles (like in cult classic "They Live!") but his best was as Elroy Patashnik in Community 2 - I was definitely bummed out that they killed Officer Aeryn Sun so early. Too early.

I enjoyed all three Riddick movies. Please watch the other two as well.

Now you have to see the rest of the Riddick Chronicles. It all will make more sense after the second movie.

The captain shouts not to touch the handle before the crash, then gets impaled and repeats the shouted line with more feeling. "Don't you touch that handle!"

Vin's first big movie, as far as I know. I love this one! Also, my wife is okay with my crush on Claudia Black.

My favorite sci-fi/horror flick An underrated classic!

This movie is reason why I always quote the sweet spot. Bc literally riddick taps johns inner thigh and what's right there, major artery 60-90 seconds before you bleed out. Then there's the lumbar part, you hit the lung to the side, and thanks to the great christopher lees commentary bout his death in LOTR you dont make a loud sound when you're stabbed in the back.

"in the future everyone needs to have perfect eyesight" I'm waiting.......

More please, the next ones are even better!

Out of the "trilogy" if you can even call it that, 'Pitch Black' is by far my favorite. Chronicles of Riddick, the second film, has a stellar cast (Judi Dench, Thandie Newton, & Karl Urban) and it tries to expand the lore, but it falls short for me. Riddick, the third film is a little bit of both.

You've also seen "Captain Anderson" in The Thing, where he played Childs.

This is one of my all-time favorite sci-fi movies. It's low-budget done right. It was really well-shot and edited. It was really something to see this in a dark theater.

hi i recommended this about a month ago and now its on , youre the best

Hi, Jen! Before I view your reaction video, I wanted to share an anecdote about an English friend. Paul, rather enjoyed "Saving Private Ryan", by the way. Vin Diesel is in that movie, but he wasn't aware of that. So, Paul fell in love with actress Claudia Black because of "Farscape" so he, of course, wanted to see more of her, so he rented the video cassette tape of the movie, wait. No, be bought a used copy cheap, at a flea market. He was enjoying the movie just fine until the vore scene when her character is swarmed by the native life forms. He got so furious with Vin Diesel's character for not saving her before she died! So he stopped the movie, ejected it, slammed it hard, or threw it hard against his hard floor! He never finished the movie, let alone the movie set/series! He called the actor Vin Diesel, not the character "Riddick" one of the worst ever! He called people who would watch Vin's movies various derogatory terms as he said that he would not be watching any more of Vin's movies! Then later on, he shared his review of "Saving Private Ryan" and he mostly praised it, though he's always a bit miffed when he feels like the British aren't given enough credit in WW2 movies and series. So I asked him why he changed his mind about Vin and he had no idea what I meant. So I explained it to him, and he sarcastically thanked me for ruining the movie for him, and he retracted his previous praises! Now the irony is, well, that would be too much, I guess. 🤔

First words from Jen: I want to decide if they're good guys or bad guys. Me: laughs

My band in college wrote & played a horror-prog tune based on this flick.

The Chronicles of Riddick, Dark Fury, and Riddick are all excellent.

"What about now?"..."Looks clear". I still use this today with my friends. Vin's delivery was great deadpan humour.

Apparently the 4th movie will be a prequel or at least tell us more about his past. However it has been in pre-production since 2014.

My fav of the trilogy. Chronicles of Riddick is a close 2nd, with Riddick in the very last.

Yes! The day I saw this in the theater I was by myself and I was blown away. I went right home and told my parents "you are coming with me to the movies!" This is right up their alley and I needed to share it with them immediately. (Although, I had to warn my dad that the female lead dies. He's a big softy.) Anyway, please watch the other Riddick movies!

I love this series.

Yay love this flick.

I'm very excited! This was my introduction to Vin Diesel, Anti-Heros, and what would become one of my favorite sci-fi universes (once you throw in the other movies, anime, and video game adaptions).

Comic/Gaming this review is SO perfect, this is GREAT!!

For The Chronicles of Riddick and Riddick, I recommend watching the Unrated Director's cut

Love this movie, it was filmed in my home state of South Australia in the desert just outside a town called Coober Pedy where a large portion of the population lives in underground homes. Very interesting place to visit, just don't visit during summer...

Fun factoid: After the fight, when Johns is loading and firing his shotgun, the shell that doesn't fire is actually one of his fake hollowed out shells he hides his dope in.
