Rating:  - 2 out of 3 ain't badThis package includes both the special editions of Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick and also a bonus animated short of what supposedly happened in between the two films. But only the films themselves were the special editions, they had very lackluster and bland menus and lacked chapter selection menus. But other than that, the two full films are very good films and the extra footage are included that makes this a good set to own. The animated film in between I would have to say is not really worth it. First of all, it's short. The term "Trilogy" is kind of misleading because you think this is another feature film, but it's more like a short film than an actual feature film. It's only about half an hour long and features just one isolated incident that doesn't really tie itself or affect the main plots of either full-length feature films. More like a side story. I thought that it would talk about how they got separated and how the ending of Pitch Black where they leave together turned out to them scattered throughout the galaxy and how the grudge between some of them ignited, but it turns out this short animated film shows none of that. And to be honest, the animation style itself is not that great. It is like the kind of animation from the old MTV Aeon Flux cartoon, which I never liked anyhow. Overall, the set is a pretty good value as buying the two Special Edition Director's Cut feature films separately would probably cost more and would take up more room in your collection, but don't have too high of expectations to see something new in the Dark Fury animated short. Personally, I would have paid a little more if this included the game Escape from Butcher Bay because that was a much better addition to the series than Dark Fury. But I know packaging DVD's with games is not typically what happens, haha, too bad. Rating:  - Very decievingThe trilogy is actually a ploy. It gives you the appearance of getting 3 movies. You do not !!!! Dark Fury is a cartoon that is such poor quality it is laughable. Pitch Black has extremely vulgar language. Chronicles of Riddick is a very good movie that has good acting and special affects. Save your money and just get Chronicles of Riddick only. The other 2 arent worth a nickel Rating:  - I didn't want to like it...but I did. I am not a sci-fi fan, but this story line is stimulating, and the filming is not 'B'. While the 'Chronicles of Riddick' was a neat movie, seeing the entire thought process and story line is truly impressive. Rating:  - better than in theatersThe directors cut changes the movie completely. It went more sci-fi and I liked it. Rating: - Pleasantly surprised!I bought this originally at Wal-mart. I was not thrilled with the anime "story filler" second movie (i. e. Dark Fury; I just don't care for anime, but my youngest son liked it). I had already seen Pitch Black and liked it ok, but not enough to buy it. But for the price, I figured it was worth trying to see if the second and third movies were any better. Wow, what a suprise! The Chronicles of Riddick was fantastic. I thought the planet scenery, costume, and set artwork was as good or better than as in the last Star Wars but with a gothic-gladiator styling. The story was really good (lots of subtle forshadowing that I did not get until several times watching the movie) and the acting excellent. I rarely buy movies I have never seen before and when I do buy a movie, I will watch it again and again as time passes. If I had seen "The Chronicles of Riddick" in the theatre, I would have decided it was one I intended to buy in the future. |
