Similar set-up as Pitch Black - Riddick and a load of bounty hunters trapped on a planet with a horde of alien beasts - except it takes most of the movie to get to that point. Katee Sackhoff is a Vasquez-type pretty much there to get leered over and either punch the leerer in the face or turn straight for him if he's a murderous convict who spies on her taking showers. She also gets one boob out for one shot, which is bizarre.
I didn't think Pitch Black was anything special really, and actually enjoyed Chronicles more as at least it was interesting (although not exactly good). It's a shame they reverted back to the PB model for this film and largely jettisoned the Necromongers/Underverse stuff. I know they had a smaller budget for this film, but they still could have carried on with that plot in a less epic way. This just feels like an uninventive, unmemorable straight-to-DVD movie.
