The animated short film 'The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury' was released as a tie-in to the live-action film 'The Chronicles of Riddick'. It serves as a bridge between 'Pitch Black' and 'The Chronicles of Riddick'.
Finally got to see this in theaters - it's a lovely movie. One of the higher quality family-friendly sci fi movies in a LONG time. The part I liked least about the book was the humor - movie was the same. Which speaks to how good the adaptation was.
This is the best action movie of all time!
