Following the sleeper success of their breakthrough sci-fi/horror smash Pitch Black, writer-director David Twohy and star Vin Diesel reunited for 2004’s action-packed The Chronicles of Riddick, an expansive and ambitious sequel that took their eponymous antihero to the farthest reaches of the galaxy.
Riddick (Diesel) is an intergalactic fugitive whose dark past catches up with him when he is lured out of hiding by Imam (Keith David, The Thing), another survivor of the planet of horrors they barely escaped from five years earlier. Now out of the shadows, Riddick is identified by an ethereal emissary (Academy Award winner Dame Judi Dench) as the descendant of an ancient race of warriors who may be the universe’s last hope against the Necromongers, an evil army of fanatics intent on bending the world to their will. As enemies close in on all sides, including the ruthless Lord Marshal (Colm Feore, Thor) and his scheming lieutenant Vaako (Karl Urban, The Boys), Riddick finds himself a reluctant saviour of the cosmos, with only his razor-sharp wits and cunning killer instinct standing in the way of total annihilation.
At long last, Twohy and Diesel’s hard-hitting outer-space epic has been restored in glorious 4K, with hours of incisive bonus features exploring every detail of this densely-constructed and masterfully-executed mythology.

The Glorious Restoration of a Sci-Fi Classic.
Arrow Video have gained a good solid respectable name for taking much beloved films, dusting them off, giving some serious tender loving care and then sending them off on their merry way into the future. This brand spanking new 4K restoration of the Theatrical and Director's Cuts of The Chronicles of Riddick approved by David Twohy is no exception. My main interest lay with the restored Director's Cut. An earlier version on DVD disconcertingly had slight jumps denoting when the extra moments had been inserted. This particular issue has now been superbly corrected. This presentation of the print is unblemished, pristine and smooth. As I slipped the disc into my player I knew I'd made a very good decision on making this purchase. A very rich, deep, lush and meticulously detailed rendering of, for my mind, one of the best Riddick films magnificently presented and packaged with a generous booklet unfolded over 134 mins. The Director's Cut has some important background into Riddick's story which has now been restored. I heartily recommend this 3 disc limited edition by Arrow Video which is rammed to the gills with extras to keep you busy long after the film (of which there are three versions) has finished. As the Necromongers say 'You keep what you kill' and this version definitely kills it. A joy to behold.
