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. The female bounty hunter begins to suspect there is something more behind the "Hunter-Gratzner" incident and learns one of the survivors, Paris P.

Into Pitch Black: Pointless

Into Pitch Black is rather an obscure part of the Riddick universe. It's essentially a companion piece to Pitch Black (2000) set a few months after the events of the movie. It is however in no way anything even remotely resembling a sequel.

It revolves around a number of people overlooking what transpired with the ship crashing and Riddicks escape. The "Movie" and I use that term loosely is a disjointed creature made up of original but poorly made content and sections of Pitch Black itself.

It offers a slight insight into some of the characters backgrounds and that's about it. The single minute of footage explaining that certainly isn't worth the 43 minute runtime.

Into Pitch Black frustratingly serves no purpose, it's entirely pointless and I struggle to believe even the most hardcore Riddick fan would enjoy this as it brings absolutely nothing new to the table.

I don't know who this is for, but it certainly wasn't me.

The Good:

Lisa Saum

The Bad:

Brings nothing to the franchise

Disjointed and messy

Things I Learnt From This "Movie":

Some films just should never have been made, this is a fine example of such a thing
