Threat advisory: High - High risk of entertaining activities
Movie propaganda
Riddick (Vin Diesel) has spent the last five years on the move among the forgotten worlds on the outskirts of the galaxy, eluding mercenaries bent on collecting the price on his head. Now, the fugitive finds himself on planet Helion, home to a progressive multicultural society, which has been invaded by the Lord Marshal (Colm Feore), a zealot who targets humans for subjugation with his army of warriors known as Necromongers.
Exiled to a subterranean prison where extremes of temperature range from arctic nights to volcanic days, Riddick encounters Kyra (Alexa Davalos), the lone survivor from an earlier chapter in his life. His efforts to free himself and Kyra lead him to the Necromonger command ship, where he is pitted against the Lord Marshal in an apocalyptic battle with possibly the fate of all beings - both living and dead - hanging in the balance.

Theatrical report
I haven't seen Pitch black yet (the DVD is on my list) but I get the impression from the synopses that it is kind of like Alien³: criminals trapped with scary monsters. The chronicles of Riddick is an anti-heroic space opera more along the lines of Flash Gordon. There are heaps of effects, lots of violence, some geeky supernatural bits and astronomical wonders. It's mindless but interesting in a not-The-Matrix kind of way. Enjoy.
PS: There is a 30-minute animated short floating around called The chronicles of Riddick: Dark fury which bridges the other two Riddick films. Ask at your local video shop.
