Ok, here's my story... I first viewed Chronicles of Riddick when it was a theatrical release. At that time I felt it was passing entertainment and nothing to get too worked up over, in spite of those ultra cool Necromonger ships and armor. I had no idea that Chronicles was a se... read more

A true bridge between Pitch Black and COR, it's really fun and shows off Vin Diesel's many talents. You'd think he'd be limited by animation, but it seemed to accentuate his bizarre features ten fold. The animation is pretty cool with a blend of CGI, it doesn't feel like a namele... read more

Very Aeon Flux-like, which is a big reason why I ejnjoyed this so much. Style points go to the all-important task of gettiing Vin and Keith back to do the voices in this sort-of followup to Pitch Black. Certainly different than the others in the series, but too short and does see... read more

This sequel-thing seemed unnecesary, but if you're into the franchise you'll enjoy it. I am and I did. I like the casting and new characters, and it bridges the story gap between the two theatrical movies very well.

Give it up for peter chung, but this short is interesting at best. A riddick enthusiast might enjoy it but it was the wrong kind of trippy. Like dissociative rather than psychedelic. Works better with Aeon Flux.

Arresting animation by Peter Chung bridging the story of Richard B. Riddick from 'Pitch Black' to 'Chronicles' with a running time of 35 minutes. Inventive mix of 2D & 3D styles. Receives a huge boost from the voicework of the same actors who escaped the planet in 'Pitch Black.... read more

pretty good but was distracted by their style of artwork for the human characters, they all looked grotesquely stretched. the aliens were awsome though

Blah......cheaply made "anime" based on the Riddick series. You would be better off playing Butcher Bay than forcing yourself through this nightmare.

He's the big, bad and bald muscleman of Hollywood - but he's devoted to Judi Dench and keen to work in independent films that say something. Full Review
