Editorial Reviews

Hot on the heels of the straight-to-DVD Van Helsing: The London Assignment animated prequel comes The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury, yet another made-for-home-entertainment package deal that actually turns out to be better than its big-screen successor. What's key here is that Aeon Flux creator Peter Chung is on board, and the result is a visual marvel that excels at dynamic character animation and a keen sense of style that keeps the brisk 35-minute running time quick and thoroughly enjoyable. The whole "bridging the gap" between Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick idea might be a little misleading. The entire plot comes exactly after the first movie and ends four years before the bloated sequel, so there's a lot of stuff that's still missing in there, which could be Dark Fury's biggest downfall, only because it just narrowly covers the big change in one of the characters that features so prominently later on. Still, this is the kind of story in which the Riddick character shines. He deals some major pain in zero gravity and takes on weird electric squid creatures without breakin' a sweat. The villain is pretty engaging too, with a backstory that makes it clear why she would be interested in the flick's main bald hero (something that came virtually out of nowhere in the sequel). Quality voice acting also boosts the level of the feature, though it's evident that the original Jack (Rhiana Griffith) can still be grating to listen to -- funny how she didn't return for the sequel! With his Animatrix: Matriculated short and Paramount Picture's live-action adaptation of Aeon Flux with Charlize Theron, Peter Chung is staking his ground in Hollywood, and Dark Fury is just the latest stop for this talented storyteller. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi Screenwriter and director David Twohy continues his intriguing career of crafting challenging, well-mounted science fiction films via limited means with this somewhat derivative but highly enjoyable action thriller. Most of the casting in Pitch Black is by type and thus instantly forgettable, though given the story's haunted-house horror movie structure, this is probably by design. However, the film is anchored by Radha Mitchell and the strutting, grunting Vin Diesel, relative newcomers who prove their mettle on the big screen with reflective performances marked by detailed, intuitive choices. As he did with Warlock (1988), Disaster in Time (1992), and The Arrival (1996), Twohy takes what was intended to be a straight-to-video genre potboiler and transforms the project into something at least a cut above other examples of its type. Unfortunately, in all of these projects, the writer/director is at times overcome by shoestring budgets that hamstring his creative efforts to impress visually. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi
