Dead Space: Aftermath

The writing didn't make any sense. The story had nothing to do with the original. By the plot of this one I'd be surprised that anyone on the crew of this movie saw the original movie.

In the Dead space - Downfall it was more a good vs. evil kind of theme, but in aftermath it just seemed like another poorly written 80's space horror movie. There was no resolve, the properties of artifact were rewritten for this movie in a less entertaining, and less interesting way.

Whatever, I'm kinda cheesed that I wasted time watching this. I was hoping for some kind of cohesive connection between the two movies and I got nothing.

Dead Space: Aftermath, is a prequel to, Dead Space 2, and a sequel to, Dead Space: Downfall.

The story is about a group of survivors that are taken in and interrogated where people want to know about the artifact they discovered.

The voice acting and the 2D animation were good. But everything else, was bad.

The CG animation was terrible, the story wasn't that good and the movie was mostly boring.

In the end, you're better off playing the video game's or watching, Dead Space: Downfall.

This was better than what the reviews from others seemed to be. Honestly I enjoyed the movie and I will point out the Pros of the movie and the cons

Pros: +First 3 Animations from the flashbacks where great (wasnt a big fan of the last one but it was fine)

+Excellent Story to help fill the gap between the first game and second game.

+ Voice Acting was good, not great but good.

Cons: - The CGI animation was terrible

Other Notes: Yeah yeah I just felt lazy and shorted the review by doing a Pro and Con thing, which is somewhat unusual for a movie review.

I'll quickly explain why I gave it a somewhat average rating. The main reason was because of the CGI Animation, I swear to god if they did the regular animation (any of the first 3 flashback)instead, it would of been bumped to an 7 or 8. I can't believe they even considered using that bad of an animation. Otherwise everything else was good about the movie.

Last thing, the fourth animation I wasn't particularly fond of. The main reason? Everyone looked like they where on steroids or something....and to me that gives an ugly appearance.

But Overall I really did enjoy the movie, it definitely something worth watching especially if your a Dead Space fan.

The plot is generally interesting, following the very fun ship-gets-taken-over-by-monsters formula. As well, the 2D animation for the first three characters' memories were great and meshed very well with the grotesque violence. However, the last character's 2D animation seemed to be a bit disconnected, completely removing the most horrifying features of the necromorphs and reducing them to generic monsters. Even worse was the 3D animated segments that interlace the entire film: they're an eyesore. To think a film so ugly could come out in 2011 is upsetting.

But that doesn't make it a bad movie! If you are interested in the dead space-universe it's definitely a movie for you, you won't be disappointed!

Let's just start with, yeah the story ain't the best but it could have been far more fleshed out and the movie longer itself, I wouldn't mind but if it's due to targeting young people or it was due to budget, who knows. It's too bad. I like a good story and not dumbed down but the end of it all was ok.

Characters are ok, voice acting ok, animation was ok mixed between actually nice animation to 3d more b-version but yeah I don't actually mind all of that as long as it gives me good scenes and story.

So not to spoil everything, this is about a recover-team trying to recover pieces of the marker from Aegis VII, which makes this a prequal to Dead Space 2 and after the end of Dead Space.

And it contains action, a lot of it and everything going to hell, like expected in Dead Space - that's why it's an ok movie!
