It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
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 consPros: +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 terribleOther 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.
I've played the games, but wasn't religiously hooked by them. The first feature "Downfall" was decent, but "Aftermath" would only be more of the same. Where this entry fits in would be a sequel to "Dead Space" the EA video game and its animated feature prequel "Dead Space: Downfall". What are happening in "Aftermath" are the events that occur before the second game "Dead Space 2". Earth has lost contact with the Ishimura ship and engineer Isaac Clarke, but now it's the responder ship the USG O'Bannon with only four crew members returning and we get the perspective views of these survivors of what just occurred on this mission in locating and securing an alien artefact. Secrets are kept, shady dealings are instigated and true intentions are revealed. You know corporations with their big plans as they interrogate the four survivors. Its pulp, but entertaining albeit the compounded plot is kind of a mish mash of ideas, which don't entirely gel and has been done numerous times before. You could say it's rather talky with theories chucked about. The first feature "Downfall" stuck to one type of animation, but this one experimented with a mixture of styles which I wasn't much of a fan. However it was just as graphic and ruthless with its nightmarish illustrations, but the atmospheric eeriness and brute intensity only lasted in pockets due to it not taking a straightforward approach with its narrative. Pretty much it starts at the end, to retell the story from form four different viewpoints mixing the animation with that. The voice work is acceptably good. "Aftermath" is nothing special, but just another chapter to the "Dead Space" universe. "I need a test subject."
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.
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.
