Her death came as a surprise to me, more than Johns. I definitely expected her
to survive, and redeem herself, at least partially, through the affirmative
act of commandeering the ship to safety and saving the remaining party.
I was ambivalent about Riddick, more expecting him to die than not, in a final heroic act
that would belie his normally ruthless character. I was wrong on both counts.
Incidentally, I was impressed with the large amount of physical restraint used by
Riddick - it made for a greater psychological tension. Of course, it's
different when the flick at times becomes "Riddick Vs The Flying Creatures", then he really kicks butt - reminded me of Goldberg!
It was hard to see those creatures until later on - at first, they appeared on partially down in the tunnels - only squidlike tenacles(?) could be briefly
seen floating and waving in the air; then en masse,
they looked like bats, but up closer and individually they looked more like a combination
of a minature pteradactyl, with a wide "Alien"-shaped head and a huge, wide
mouth sporting a set of big, long chompers! Those toothies reminded me of the Tasmanian
Devil-like monster's ones in the episode "The Crate", one of the stories featured
in the movie, "Creepshow".
Photos of these guys can be seen in the current issue of "Starlog 2000"
magazine. - AH
