Final Words
David Twohy’s cult classic sci-fi marvel Pitch Black did so with far less fanfare, even Fast and Furious diehards would have to admit Pitch Black is the far superior film. It may even have launched a superior franchise.
And purely in terms of cinematic style and wildly original myth-making, the Riddick Trilogy which includes: 2000’s Pitch Black, 2004’s The Chronicles of Riddick, and 2013’s Riddick, is best than The Fast and Furious films in virtually every way.
