The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury is a 2004 animated science fiction adventure film, produced by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, and directed by Peter Chung. The movie revolves around the titular character, Riddick, who is played by Vin Diesel, and his journey to escape from a mercenary ship that he had been imprisoned on. The film is a sequel to the 2000 movie Pitch Black, which was also directed by David Twohy, and starred Vin Diesel.

The story of The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury takes place immediately after the events of Pitch Black. Riddick, a former criminal and now a fugitive, is on the run from dangerous mercenaries led by Toombs, who had captured him on their ship, the Kubla Khan. At the start of the film, the ship is attacked by a group of flying creatures that kill most of the crew, allowing Riddick and other survivors to escape. However, the survivors find themselves stranded on a nearby planet, which is inhabited by a group of dangerous monsters that are also called "Dark Fury."

The lead female character of the movie is a 19-year-old girl named Jack (Rhiana Griffith). She was first introduced as a teenage girl in Pitch Black, but now she is a skilled fighter who has grown into a strong young woman. Jack is revealed to be a potential mercenary who is also on the ship; she wants to use Riddick's notorious reputation to her advantage. However, Riddick does not trust Jack, and he only sees her as a potential threat.

In The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury, Riddick and Jack face a series of challenges and must fight against the dangerous monsters that inhabit the desolate planet. As they fight, they begin to learn more about each other, and soon realize they must work together to survive. Along the way, their journey is further complicated by three bounty hunters who are also pursuing Riddick for a large reward.

The three bounty hunters are: Toombs (Nick Chinlund), a mercenary captain who was in charge of Riddick's imprisonment; Yondu (Keith David), a blue-skinned alien with a bow; and his partner, an untrustworthy cyborg named Antonius (Roger Jackson. The bounty hunters are all very different from each other, but they share one thing in common: they are all after Riddick for their own purposes.

As Riddick and Jack fight to survive, they come across a strange laboratory run by a Professor Xylo (Dwight Schultz), who has been conducting experiments on the Dark Fury monsters. Riddick eventually learns that the Dark Fury are not simply mindless beasts, but have been genetically engineered by Professor Xylo to be the deadliest creatures on the planet. Riddick also discovers that Xylo has been experimenting on some of the mercenary crew, which has resulted in a new hybrid breed of monsters, even deadlier than the Dark Fury.

The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury is a thrilling animated film that captures the gritty and brutal tone of the first movie. The character of Riddick is once again portrayed as the ultimate survivor, using his cunning and ruthlessness to stay alive. The animation is beautifully done, with detailed landscapes and unique character designs.

In conclusion, The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury is an action-packed sequel to Pitch Black that expands the universe of the character Riddick. The film successfully creates an engaging and operatic science fiction adventure, backed up by strong performances from its talented voice cast. The movie also sets the stage for the future adventures of Riddick, leaving audiences on the edge of their seats as they wait to see what happens next.
