Watch now:

Riddick 4: Furya finally delivers the homecoming saga fans have craved, transforming the legendary anti-hero’s return into a brutal, mythic war for the soul of his dead world. The film brilliantly inverts the franchise’s isolationist survival formula: Riddick is not a stranger in a hostile land, but a king returning to a kingdom of ash. Furya is not a refuge, but a weapon—a planet of cataclysmic storms and hyper-evolved predators that he learns to command. Vin Diesel delivers his most ferocious and emotionally layered performance as Riddick, embodying a man whose rage is finally given a purpose beyond mere survival, tapping into a primal, ancestral power that is as terrifying as it is awe-inspiring.

The supporting cast is perfectly aligned with the film’s gritty tone. Karl Urban’s Lord Vaako returns with a hardened, desperate menace, his betrayal now fueled by the fear of a god he helped create. Katee Sackhoff provides a grounded, lethal counterpoint, while Dave Bautista’s presence adds a new layer of hulking, volatile threat. The action is the franchise at its most brutal and inventive, seamlessly blending Riddick’s signature close-quarters savagery with large-scale, creature-led chaos. The “Alpha” power is rendered with breathtaking, mind-bending visuals, making Riddick’s connection to Furya’s ecosystem a tangible, world-altering force.

With a 9.5/10, Furya is a triumphant and definitive chapter. It honors the raw, R-rated spirit of Pitch Black while achieving the epic scale the series has always promised. It’s a film that doesn’t just bring Riddick home; it forges him into something new—a force of nature reclaiming his birthright with blood and fury. A brutal, brilliant return to form.
