Storyline

A policeman is assigned by his superior officer to find and apprehend escaped convict Richard B. Riddick, Riddick was being transported on-board space transport vessel "Hunter-Gratzner" carrying on-board 40 people, where a bounty hunter named Johns who captured him was escorting him to the penal colony "Slam City" and claim the bounty on his head. But the "Hunter-Gratzner" was struck by a meteor shower and crashed on a desert planet, where Riddick and 10 survivors were marooned. The policeman decides to hire a female bounty hunter to track down and capture Riddick alive.

Resembles a bad fan made movie
21 April 2018 | by bluesquirrel2004 – See all my reviews

It is hard to believe that a major Movie Studio released this short movie.

It is disjointed and difficult to follow. The movie consists of constant cuts between scenes from the Pitch Black movie, scenes from video diaries from investigations into Riddick and then the scenes from this short movie. All seemed to be thrown haphazardly together.

The acting was laughable and eye-rolling.

The movie did not provide revelations of any substance. All the backstory information revealed was petty and trivial.
