    Chronicles of Riddick. Not sure it’s considered a “bad” movie, but I definitely like it more than most. Just a crazy entertaining world and system they build in a short 2 hour long movie.

      Oh, good one!

      Pitch Black, in particular, is one that is hard to explain to anyone who didn’t see it under ideal circumstances.

      I feel like folks ask me:

      “Isn’t that just another dark sci-fi edgelord apocalypse movies?”

      I mean, technically, I guess, yes - but it’s so well done that it becomes something more.

        I used to tell people it’s a movie that switches genres halfway through. Movie leads you to believe you know who the bad guy is, convincing you it may be a sci-fi slasher film. Then the sun(s) go down. Now it’s an entirely different type of horror film. It really is a unique fun movie and I have yet to find another one similar.

      I’m in the minority where Chronicles of Riddick is the only Riddick movie I like. Such a neat universe.
