Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Al_The_Strange As part of the hype for 2004's The Chronicles of Riddick, this short animation was developed to bridge the gap between the aforementioned film and its predecessor, Pitch Black. It's not a huge gap, per se, but it's enough to warrant some explanation; if you're really wondering how all the characters got separated and where this guy Toombs came from, then this feature will satisfy your curiosity.This cartoon is pretty short and has plenty of cool action. Riddick takes on a few monstrous villains, with his usual serial-killer machismo. The fights are well-rendered and pretty badass. The overall animation quality is funky and wild, in a matter not much different than Peter Chung's other works (such as Aeon Flux).The story for this feature is pretty cool. It does its job of connecting the dots between Pitch Black and TCoR, but still has room to develop its own ideas and concepts. The plot is not terribly substantial, and little is added to the characters, but the premise is fascinating.This flick has pretty cool animation quality: the character designs are really blocky and funky, but highly distinctive. Backgrounds are pretty well-rendered. Some of the movements and computer-animated work can be a little cheap, and the overall detailing is not really mind-blowing, but it all gets the job done. Voice-acting is not bad, writing is okay, and the designs for all the settings, props, and costumes look great.4/5 (Entertainment: Good | Story: Pretty Good | Film: Pretty Good)

Ian Bourne This was a good story shortened a bit too much.Not enough background on Junner nor Toombs yet Chillingsworth was a contradiction... She appreciated psychopaths only so long as she had the upper hand?The fight scenes were lacking in choreography and tried to compensate by distorting perspectives - I gave the toon a 7 but really i wanted to deliver a 6.5 The semi and null grav segments although cool were underused to my view and ideally this animation should have been 47 to 1'20" in duration for a proper segue from Pitch Black, Vol. 1 to Chronicles of Riddick, Vol. 2 I have no idea if anyone realises this, but Riddick seems in part based on Conan of Cimmeria! In the Nemedian Chronicles it was said (according to Robert E Howard's Hyborian Age); "Know ye, O Prince, there came Conan- warrior, ravager, thief later king..." or something so? But Riddick and Conan were mercs, fighters and thieves and ended up unexpected kings - what do the Wheat Bros have to say?? LOLhttp://tinyurl.com/3464k/

athena24 Like the creators of the Matrix that gave us the Animatrix as part of the matrix evolution story, the creators of Riddick gave us The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury. This short animated movie comes somewhere between Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick in the overall plot about Riddick. There are no evolving characters here or, even an evolving idea. Everything ends before it began.I really liked Pitch Black, and even more The Chronicles of Riddick, so naturally I wanted to watch this one, which was dull. It's like the crew was tired, and didn't want to work hard on it. They just didn't show their enthusiasm on this one.The animation is OK, but nothing special. It really can't be compared to eastern animated movies ( Like Jin Roh, Wonderful Days or Ghost In The Shell) which are much more detailed, and the stances and the proportions of the characters seem to be more natural than in Dark Fury.The good thing that it's not so long. If you liked the movies, watch this one as a complementary for your Riddick education.

Henry Fields Dark Fury it is supposed to be lost link between Pitch Black and Chronicles Of Riddick, but It's been a while since I watched Pitch Black, so I don't remember how did it end. Anyway, it's a 30 minutes animation movie that mixes old school drawing' and digital techniques. The fans of this kind of stuff will be satisfied. As for me, I didn't get it. This time Riddick will have to beat a so powerful women and her servants (or something like that).So, I only recommend Dark Fury to those followers of PB series, and manga/animation lovers (in general).*My rate: 5/10
