When their ship crash-lands on a remote planet, the marooned passengers soon learn that escaped convict Riddick isn't the only thing they have to fear. Deadly creatures lurk in the shadows, waiting to attack in the dark, and the planet is rapidly plunging into the utter blackness of a total eclipse. With the body count rising, the doomed survivors are forced to turn to Riddick with his eerie eyes to guide them through the darkness to safety. With time running out, there's only one rule: Stay in the light.
This was even better than remember it watching as a kid. Worldbuilding, with abandoned mining colony was great, atmospheric. Characters unique and memorable, cool story, cool main "hero", cool action. Top notch movie overall.
Sorry Ayush, wrong. Prequel is a conjunction of two words combining previous (as in "events") and sequel. A sequel is a follow up to an original. If the story continues linearly it remains a sequel. If the story jumps back to a timeline before the events of the first story it becomes a sequel. So... yeah. Not a prequel.
This is not a prequel. A prequel is a movie made after the other movies are made. This is the first movie of Riddick, it goes Pitch Black, Dark Fury (animated), Chronicles of Riddick, then Riddick. A prequel is the game Escape from Butcher Bay in a way. Still though, this movie is THE first.
