Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury

posted on 19 April 2008

If you enjoyed The Animatrix, then Dark Fury is going to be right up your alley. (Incidentally, director Peter Chung also directed a sequence in The Animatrix as well as MTV's "Aeon Flux".) It's an anime sequel to the motion picture. It neatly bridges the gap between Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick. It picks up right where the first film left off, then it fills in backstory for the new summer film. It describes how Jack turned into a killer, why Riddick left them, and more. It also features the origin of Toombs and tells even more about the mercenaries so heavily featured in The Chronicles of Riddick. If you're a Riddick fan, this is a required addition to your collection.

Like the Riddick films, this movie features a healthy mix of sci-fi and action adventure. The opening battle in the film is spectacular. It is a bloody battle in a hanger in zero gravity. I don't want to spoil it, but it's one of the most creative sci-fi battle scenes I've ever seen. It would have been really hard to film in live action. Another scene later in the film features Riddick battling a couple of bizarre aliens that are basically whips with neon lighting. They are hard to describe, but they are quite imaginative. (I thought they were robots at first.) The only low point in the film comes when Chillingsworth pontificates about murderers and art. However, the film quickly picks up speed from there.

The animation is an interesting mix of CG and traditional 2-D animation. It blends well together though the supposedly outdated 2-D animation frequently upstages the CG. The character designs are a little stylistic while still making the main characters recognizable. The designs for the ships, costumes, and backgrounds are also quite impressive and very much in the exotic styles of the films.

All of the voice talent from the original movies returns for this anime film. Vin Diesel mutters his lines as you would expect and is supported by Keith David as Abu 'Imam' al-Walid and Rhiana Griffith as Jack. Griffith was the original girl who played Jack in Pitch Black while another actress plays the character in The Chronicles of Riddick. Nick Chinlund, also from the sequel, reprises his role as mercenary Toombs in this film, thus establishing his relationship to Riddick. Animation legend Tress MacNeille even shows up to play the villainess Chillingsworth. You might know her better from her work on The Simpsons and Babs Bunny on Tiny Toons. (I have to admit that it took me a while to get used to her playing a sultry, deadly character.) The A-Team's Dwight Schultz even has a brief role as the A.I. Pilot Voice of the ship from Pitch Black.

Overall, Dark Fury is a nice addition to The Chronicles of Riddick. At 35 minutes, it doesn't overstay its welcome, but I must say that I wish there had been more episodes on the DVD. I also have to say that I think I enjoyed this animated film more than the latest Riddick film, but you'll have to check it out and decide for yourself.
