Summary: Animated Short Riddick Movie
Comment: Got the three Riddick movies as a gift and watched all three over the weekend. I can't believe I liked them so well. In this cartoon segment of the Riddick saga, Riddick, Jack, and Imam end up on a ship conveniently owned by a collector of master criminals (a female) who is anxious to add Riddick to her collection. (She freezes her victims but they are still alive.) I remember this storyline from a Star Trek when a collector tried to collect Data. This reused storyline still worked well for this, particularly because this was so short. I think it would have been a mistake to make this longer. It was just the right length to hold my interest. The animation is interesting in this, very stylized and unique.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Brilliant.
Comment: Too bad this wasn't feature length. Vin Diesel is one of the best voice actors out there (See the Iron Giant). The animation is beautifully crafted, with the smallest attention to detail, an an arguably visionary approach. This short film shows how far the Riddick universe could go in the animated format. I hope they continue this series either in live action or animated format in the future.

Summary: Hold your breath
Comment: This short animated feature was created to help fill in the gap between Riddick movies and at the same time, cash in on the hype of the new movie in 2004. Being a huge fan of Pitch Black I wasted no time buying this DVD then. Riddick, Imon and Jack are present and all voiced by their real actors. Also present is Toombs who plays a bigger role in the 3rd installment. Even though the movie is short, I consider it essential if you liked Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick.

Summary: Bridged the Gap!!!
Comment: For me and any Riddick fan, I'd have to say this was a great chapter in the Chronicles of Riddick. I think this and Animatrix will inspire many to pursue making these kind of films in order to solve the problem of unanswered questions from the live action movies. As for the film itself, it's short but sweet. The advantage of this is that there is no time wasted on anything that does not add to the story itself. It will keep you interested and entertained all the way through. Another great thing is that the actors from the live action movies including Vin Diesel showed their support by doing the voices of their characters. This is worth your pick for your Riddick collection is not complete without this.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Surprisingly good
Comment: I really didn't expect much going in, not being a huge fan of anime. But since I really liked both movies, I figured I'd give this one a shot, and it fits into the story line very well.
