Film Frenzy

In the live-action The Chronicles of Riddick, Riddick is part of the problem: An intriguing character when kept in the shadows for much of Pitch Black, he’s become infinitely less interesting as an out-and-out action hero, losing all sense of mystery.

Rated: 1.5/4

Gone With The Twins

The animation style suits the storyline, with the anime versions of familiar roles nicely adapted from their three-dimensional counterparts.

Rated: 5/10

Ultimately, the film is a safe, engineered bridge between the first and second Riddick films, without the ambition of either.

Rated: 5/10

The overlying message of Dark Fury seems to say "Be the mange you want to see in this world." Too bad too few of the films featuring the Riddick character really embodied that kooky kernel of wisdom.

Rated: 2/5

What Dark Fury doesn't do well is what it wants to do: bridge the gap between two movies

A new type of animation makes this movie go and works, which makes it beautiful to watch, and this new type of animation begins with Dark Fury, thus my *4* star rating!!!!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

It does do more than be a bridge between two movies, as it provides some continuity.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

An excellent addition to the Riddick story, and amazing animation, direction, and story telling.

This is probably the only other mini-adventure I'll review. Don't expect this to be a common occurrence. This half-hour animated short serves as merely a prelude to The Chronicles of Riddick. Nothing less, nothing more. The art style is enjoyable, the action is awesome and Peter Chung does a good job faithfully recreating the likenesses of the characters from Pitch Black with the voice acting helping us really believe that this indeed is an animated version of Vin Diesel. There's not much to say about this movie since it doesn't even reach the required 40-minute runtime to be considered "feature-length" but I wish this actually was a full-length motion picture since some of it is actually quite cinematic.

This is a poor effort to fill in gaps in the Riddick story line. The animation and David Twohy's writing are unimpressive.
