Riddick is the third installment in the The Chronicles of Riddick film series. Left for dead on a sun-scorched planet, Riddick finds himself up against an alien race of predators. Activating an emergency beacon alerts two ships: one carrying a new breed of mercenary, the other captained by a man from Riddick's past. The film contains a large number of VFX shots, including extensive creature work on the mud demons and jackals as well as different sets, including full-CG environments and matte paintings.
