  • Riddick or The Chronicles of Riddick (sometimes described as "Conan In Space") is a series of Low Science Fantasy Movies and Video Games set in the 27th century. Its titular character, Richard B. Riddick, is notable for being a badass antihero, for being one of the last descendants of the Furyan race, and for being portrayed by Vin Diesel. In 2000, Pitch Black was a surprise hit and quickly gained a cult following. The studio execs believed that Riddick's adventures had the making of a Cash Cow Franchise, and so began the expansion of the Riddick universe. In 2004, Pitch Black was given a prequel story in the form of the game The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay and an animated film, The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury, detailing the events shortly after Pitch Black's conclusion. Both of these were tie-ins to the big-budget sequel The Chronicles of Riddick, with Dark Fury bridging the gap between the films. Whilst the game and animation were well-received, opinion is very divided over the sequel, to put it kindly. Both critically and among the fandom, it received a lot of criticism and even outright disownment. Though it does have its fans, the addition of fantasy elements probably didn't help things.
