Pitch Black wasn't really made on its plot/story tho... or for that matter even its special effects (although some of them were pretty cool)... imo it was really made on its characterizations and dialog -- in spite of the fact that Riddick was in some ways a bit of a "canned" character ... The sequel not so much -- more of a special effects flick, although still good and still had some good dialogue (although the characterizations were a bit weaker imo). The animated story which takes place between them is a little too much coincidence (they get off of the planet where they crashed and then are immediately picked up by a ship full of bounty hunters looking for Riddick specifically, but not to settle a score, but rather a "fan" of his work). It has some great dialog as well and some pretty visually exciting animation in spite of the animation style being a tad crude (Akira it's not). s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:160648 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
