For me, "Dead Space Aftermath" was a major letdown. The storyline failed to grab my attention, making the whole viewing experience feel tedious and boring. What's worse, the 3D elements were poorly executed, adding to my disappointment. As a fan of the Dead Space franchise, I had hoped for more, but this film missed the mark entirely from my perspective.

Fans of the first entry entitled ‘Downfall' are likely to be disappointed. This continuation's most glaring flaw is the haphazard flip-flopping between adequate hand-drawn animation and migraine-inducing CGI animation that is akin to ‘Food Fight'. Alas, this movie struggles greatly yet is watchable when sufficiently bored.

It's unfortunately marred by some really awful CG animation. But the stories in between, with the different styles of anime was cool. As was getting different perspectives of the same story, Rashomon-style. It's a very interesting and graphic universe this plays in, but again, the animation in the wraparounds ruins this movie...

Pretty Good = 3.5/5 Dead Space: Aftermath is the second anime film take on the Dead Space video game series. Only this time, it's presented quite differently in terms of animation style throughout the film. There are several stories for each character to tell, only there happens to be a different animation style with each story, which is definitely interesting. Only major complaint I have with this, is the ugly, poorly rendered 3D animation we get between each story that is being told. Which is unfortunate, for such good story telling there is to appreciate here. Especially if you yourself are a Dead Space fan.

7 years since the original game came out I finally had the chance to play it and see what the fuss was about It was basically non-linear storytelling and the game developers created a new form of a terrifying outer space killer-alien project what worked so well was the constant dark shadows aboard the Ishimura, the design of the Necromorphs able to take so many freakish shapes, and having the same feeling as John Carpenter's The Thing except where that mutant-alien story took place on earth this game series takes place in the vacuum of space with no escape the first game was scary, gory, and heart-poundingly intense from start to finish even though the controls were a bit flaky and ammunition and health were limited this film takes place just after the events of Aegis 7 when Issac Clarke escaped and right before the events of the 2nd game a new crew from the Obono stumble upon the ruined landscape of the desolate planet, find a shard of the Marker artifact, and accidentally unleash more of the terror that befell the Ishimura crew a majority of the film is told in flashbacks from creepy-looking CGI to traditional hand-drawn anime the anime portions are way better and with more thought and construct explaining each of the crew's encounter with the Necromorphs and the corruption of the Marker the film zips by without wasting a single moment delivering much of the same scares and bloody scenes the game first spawned there's also a much deeper conspiracy surrounding the discovery of the alien race and the artifact meaning that the nightmare may not be far from over fills in several gaps and opens the way for a much bigger storyline for the rest of the series

The story alone is decent enough to deserve a telling, but with the exception of the 2D animation - done in the vein of EA's Dante's Inferno -, the entire movie is sub-par.

It isn't anything more than a terrifying story of survival, in which we see the same even from different perspectives. That's it. [Full review in Spanish]

The sort of amateurishly crap 3D CG animation that you expect to see for free on YouTube . . .
