Tying continuity into the story beyond just references through the Jones character was smartly done, and while the CG backdrops were a bit ropey in a few places I'd say that it's well put-together as a solid action flick.
I'm a massive Riddick fan. Pitch Black is still the best of the three movies IMO as it was original and was shot with a tiny budget plus it introduced Vin Diesel to the world, but I really enjoyed the new Riddick movie. They did a great job with a smallish budget and even at 45 odd, Vin Diesel is still a badass mofo!
