What's the deal with the animated one, is it worth checking out?

I haven't seen it, but I think Peter Chung (Aeon Flux) did it. It's got his distinctive look.

Amusing that they're sticking the cartoon in and calling this a trilogy. Didn't Twohy want to do a third Riddick flick and make that the trilogy?

Suckaaaa.

Now I like Vin Diesel, but I admit I posted that picture because he looks all "uurrrrrrr..."

Man, that movie was stupid. What little you are made to understand of the universe at large in Pitch Black, it's outrageously obvious it's nothing like the fantasy setting of Riddick. They went from hard sci-fi to soft sci-fi in a transition less jarring than Mad Max and Road Warrior, and there was a nuclear war between those movies.

Of course, the transition between Mad Max and Road Warrior isn't jarring at all, that's one of the effects of Mad Max's unbelievable bleakness.

Does anyone else know a movie and its sequel that respectively take place before and after an apocalypse-level event?

I can think of some anime that does that, but not between parts 1 and 2. 2 and 3, though. Or was it between 3 and 4? Shit. Stupid confusing Overfiend series.
