Advantages: More Riddick ;-) Disadvantages: Its a bit too short
I am a fan of the Riddick movies and quite like anime too so I thought I'd give this a go, its set between Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick and does feature the voices of Vin Diesel as Riddick, Keith David as Abu the Imam and Rhiana Griffith as Jack (who is the original Jack in Pitch Black). Nick Chinlund also features as the voice of Toombs (from The Chronicles Of Riddick).
The character animations of the lead characters are pretty good ... ...Diesel manages to recapture the world weary tones of Riddick perfectly almost as though he'd never stopped playing the role.

Advantages: Excellent animation, explains what happened between Pitch Black and CoR Disadvantages: Only 33 minutes long
The character of Riddick (Vin Diesel) first appeared in the 1997 film 'Pitch Black', where the passengers of a transport ship are stranded on an unknown planet. Riddick is a violent criminal more in touch with his animal instincts than the niceties of human society. Having spent his life in and out of maximum-security prisons he has become both ruthless and deadly. During a stint inside the most deadly prison in the Universe, 'Butcher Bay', he had ... ...in the dark, though as a knock-on effect he is nearly completely blinded in daylight.
At the end of 'Pitch Black' we see Riddick and the survivors escaping the planet for destinations unknown. The character got his second on-screen appearance in the 200x movie 'The Chronicles Of Riddick'.
'The Chronicles Of Riddick: Dark Fury' is the story of events directly after 'Pitch Black' and five years before 'The Chronicles Of Riddick'. It is an animation, ...

Advantages: fighting content from start to finish Disadvantages: short film of 33mins
...movie. It was directed by the Korean-American animator Peter Chung, and features Vin Diesel performing the voice of Richard B. Riddick.
A nice join up story and tells you what happens straight after Pitch Black and before The Chronicles of Riddick and explained why he had the Bounty hunters after him but only a little bit short this dvd for 33 mins in total,it has extras and bonus to it thats makes it better. it contains a decent amount of fighting ... ...not have been exposed to the films anyway. This film carries important character development elements for Jack (who becomes Kyra in The Chronicles of Riddick), as at the end she discovers her violent side by shooting the ship's owner Antonia Chillingsworth (Tress MacNeille) just before she can kill Riddick.
You would love it if your a big Vin Diesel fan or even someone that enjoyed the riddick series. ...
