"Black Hole" - a film in 2000. The actor, who played the main role in the film, is Vin Diesel. In fact, the film was one of the first truly successful films where the main character was played by Diesel.
Interest in the film gave an opportunity for the continuation of this story. Unfortunately, the enormous potential of the Riddick universe was revealed, in the opinion of film critics, not completely.
About the film
In the world movie rental came out in February 2000. Despite the fact that the film raised only 53 million dollars at the box office with a budget of 23, it was still quite successful. This allowed the creators to remove the sequel, and then another film from the same franchise. The sequels were not very successful, but it’s hard to call them failures either. Therefore, perhaps in the next few years there will be more films on the Riddick universe.
Black Hole (2000 film), whose actors sought to get used to their characters as 100%, is a pretty good sci-fi movie in the action genre. Although the reviews and the rating of the film are not very encouraging.
In many ways, the picture gained popularity due to the charisma of Vin Diesel, but the special effects in it are also at a decent level. Although it has a bit of dynamics, few action scenes and almost no powerful special effects. In general, the picture was pretty convincing.
Plot
The plot is quite simple, for which many critics strongly criticize the "Black hole" (2000 film). The actors and the whole crew do not share the opinions of professional critics, believing that they are too nit-picking.
The action takes place in the future. Passenger spaceship crashes on an unfamiliar lifeless planet. Due to the fact that she has three Suns at once, terrible heat reigns here, which burns out all life on the surface.
However, when it is night time, strange predatory creatures fly to the surface from the bowels of the earth, who are not averse to feasting on random people representing an easy prey.
The only hope for the survivors is Riddick - an arrested criminal with phenomenal fighting qualities and able to see in the dark. But will he agree to help, because he is a murderer and a criminal, cynical and ruthless, who does not care about everyone except himself?
Black Hole (2000 film): actors and roles
The main role in the film was then played by the still little-known, but very promising actor Vin Diesel. In fact, only his character is truly interesting to the viewer. He is mysterious, brutal, warlike. In addition, the actor looks great in this image.
Also played in the "Black Hole" (2000 film) actors Rada Mitchell ("Celebration of Love", "Anger") - the role of Carolyn Frey, Cole Hauser ("Double Fast and the Furious", "Paparazzi") - the role of William J. Jones, and Keith David ("Something", "Spawn"), who embodied the image of the Imam.
Although the composition in the tape is stellar, most of the characters are rather boring and uninteresting, but this is more likely the fault of not the actors, but of the poor scenario study of the characters.
Many viewers and critics highlighted the weak plot, boring characters and the slow development of events as minuses of the tape. The pluses include the actors in the film “The Black Hole” (2000 film) and the roles (photos are presented in the article) that they performed. Although the characters turned out to be not the most interesting, the actors nevertheless tried hard.
Conclusion
The Riddick franchise began with the movie Black Hole. Actors and roles (photos allow you to get an idea about them) from him were partially involved in subsequent films. Despite the fact that the picture can hardly be called successful, it has developed a rather large fan base around the world.
This is partly why it was possible to create a continuation of the story of a criminal named Richard B. Riddick performed by V. Diesel. And it turned out a whole franchise, which was said at the beginning of filming in "Black Hole" (2000 film) actor Vin Diesel. He was sure that the picture would not be single, and she would have a continuation. And so it happened.
The film managed to take its rightful place in the world of science fiction cinema, despite many scenario and technical flaws. Subsequent franchise paintings also managed to become, though not cult, but quite popular. Critics rated rather low each of the tapes, but the number of fans from this did not decrease.
The role of Riddick is hardly the best in the career of Vin Diesel, but she certainly gave a significant impetus to his further development as a Hollywood superstar.
