Explore popular and recently added TV series available to stream now with Prime Video.
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.
