    • Trivia
      The hot desert where they filmed was actually about ten degrees Celsius (fifty degrees Fahrenheit). They were misting water on the actors to make it appear as if they were sweating.
    • Goofs
      During the talk between Caroyln and John's about his addiction around 55 minutes in, you can hear "quiet on the set" yelled out two times in a shallow echo from back stage.
    • Quotes

      Johns: How's it look?

      Riddick: Looks clear.

      [Johns steps forward, and a creature flies out towards them. They duck and it flies into the night]

      Johns: You said it was clear!

      Riddick: I said it *looked* clear.

      Johns: Well, how does it look now?

      Riddick: Looks clear.

    Interesting and entertaining with a good cast of mostly unknowns and great special effects.
    The opening scene of this movie is pretty incredible. I've seen a number of sci-fi movies with great special effects but my roommate and I looked at each other after the opening sequence and he said plainly, "sensory overload." The plot of the movie is pretty simple but the nice thing about this sci-fi movie is that it lets the audience figure out most of the technology for themselves instead of wasting time to "subtly" explain it. The creatures in this movie are also very interesting. You don't get a really good look at them until about two thirds of the way through. Overall, a very entertaining movie.
