So-so
An interesting enough animated sequel to "Pitch Black"
Bridging the gap from "Pitch Black" to "The Chronicles of Riddick", "Dark Fury" is an interesting enough exercise in animated story-telling. Vin Diesel, Rhiana Griffith and Keith David return as the survivors of the first installment, this time coming up against baddies of a more human nature, not counting multi-tentacled waving aliens.
This is a good looking animated movie, short but containing some reasonably memorable action set pieces and some unexpectedly bloody violence.
7 out of 10. Riddick fans will find this a treat but this may leave some viewers cold.
