Synopsis: Barely escaped from a monster-infested planet (see Pitch Black) Riddick (Diesel), the little girl Jack (Griffith) and the Imam (David) are captured by a bounty hunter.
Review: An interesting animated follow-up to the excllent B-movie Pitch Black, using the same characters and introducing some ones of the following Chronicles of Riddick. Lasting only 33 minutes, it tells us a bit more about the legend Riddick and his extraordinary ability to fight, especially in darkness. The story with bounty hunters reminds strongly of Cowboy Bebop, and the organic animation of the Animatrix episode from the same director. But there is not much more to it, just an interesting expansion of the universe, with an OK quality for animation and story.
