Violent movie about a religous group trying to convert humanity to their religon. The movie has little blood but strong violence, one F-bomb and decently long scene of "tounge kissing". But it is no as bad as ptch black. And only the people who play the game will like it.

What Parents Need to Know
About The Chronicles of Riddick
Parents need to know that this action movie isn't very good, and it has intense and graphic violence for a PG-13, including people getting fried in intense heat and a lot of fighting. Other things to note: characters are in constant peril and many are killed, there are a few four-letter words, and a character speaks of being forced into prostitution. Two of the movie's few strengths are that there are diverse characters on both sides and the way it makes clear that the good guys stand for tolerance.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the inspiration for some of the movie's terms like Necromancer and Crematoria and some of its themes, patched together from sources like the Bible (especially the story of Moses and the Pharaoh) and Shakespeare (especially Macbeth). They may also discover parallels between the conflicts in the movie and some historical conflicts between totalitarian regimes and those who fight for freedom.

One of the most graphic PG-13's ever.

Great Movie
This movie was amazing. No real issues here except for the violence, which isn't overtly graphic and the language. There aren't really that many strong words here.

A...different sequel
This is not Pitch Black 2 people, David Twohy himself said that he wasn't making a same-old sequel. This is a different direction for the universe created, not necessarily stellar but certainly not bad. The acting is so-so for a lot of characters, but the effects and action are extremely well done. The game is fantastic, possibly the best movie-to-game adaptations ever created. I highly recommend it if you have any interest in FPS games.

Not as good as pitch black
This movie is worse than pitch black. I probably shouldn't have been allowed to see that, but I got the unrated directors cut version and it is better than this. This movie is cheesy, and it has less violence than pitch black, but it came pretty close to getting rated r.
