Default Re: New Galactica Series

Oh don't get me wrong, Riddick was a great sequal to Pitch Black which was one of the most under rated movies of year. I remember posting here about Pitch Black and recommending it to people. Riddick was a great departure from the norm and that alone made it worth seeing. However the story was convoluted and seemed more toward a video game than an actual attempt at movie making. Basically it made you take a huge leap of faith from the universe set up by pitch black to the one they showed in Riddick. In essence, the two movies are as differant from each other as Star Wars is from Ground Hog Day. The only simularity are the characters and the desire to create a franchise for Vin. (I like Vin, I think he is one of the better action / drama / talented actors to come down the pipe in many years.)

Riddick was a very stylish movie, but IMHO definatly not better than Star Wars, but worlds better than PM or AOTC.

And no, no plans for any Stargate ship sets. Although they should have made a FPS adventure game based on the series years ago. The one they have planned now is a day late and two dollars short.
