A great movie franchise sequel. Featuring Vin Diesel.

Jacob Alejandre

This film is the beginning for the golden era of sci-fi. Needs to be on everyones sci-fi movie shelf. Of course Vin D is a phenomenal actor.

Pro: Decent sci-horror. Con: it spawned the Riddick movies. I will never forgive this movie for that.

A good sci-fi thriller. Plays with some classic tropes, but doesn't manage to feel too overdone. Acting was good. World building was great.

One of many Diesel films, this one has to be my favorite. It’s an action packed fest of monsters, mercenaries, and overwhelming darkness.

Rick Anthony McArthur

An interesting franchise that ran alongside Fast & Furious among other better films Vin has done i.e XXX, & The Last Witch Hunter.

Good taut sci-fi thriller that’s got a good plot. Good characters. Great acting. 👍🏼

The clissic SciFi Horror film that kicked off the ambitious franchises. It holds up as an exciting action film.

Byron Ercanbrack

Great movie. Excellent action and sci-fi horror to make you want to watch again.

Fun sci-fi horror with good creature designs
