Dead Space: Downfall

This is nothing more than a companion, and a compliment to the amazing game by EA games, and it fulfills all expectations i had of it. This manga does not push the limit as far as clever animation, but does offer some pretty interesting moments, the weapons are not spectacular neither are most of the characters, but the aren't out of place either, they fit very well in the Dead Space world. Also this will seem like a cheap ripoff to anyone who hasn't played the game, because so many elements feel like a different movie, such as resident evil, or aliens. But, for fans of the game it is nice to see the USG Ishimura in another light, and see so many nuances to the game that is very cool and satisfying. Don't expect revolutionary, this is best thought of as a really long DS intro, nothing more.

Apparently this was supposed to "redefine animation for adults", but there is nothing groundbreaking here, or even adult for that matter. Violence is obviously not something for the kids, but the way it's handled in this movie is incredibly immature, so the only people who could get the most enjoyment out of it are kids. I'm all for gratuitous violence, but blood and guts are only entertaining for so long, it would be nice to have some suspense to go with it, after the first few disembowelments and decapitations I started to lose interest. There are times where the movie seems to be touching on themes that might elevate it above your typical sci-fi gore fest, but those are quickly ignored in favor of more bloodshed. Although we've seen it all before, Dead Space: Downfall is still reasonably entertaining and it's gotten me more interested in the game, so I guess it accomplished what it set out to do. It's just a shame that the people behind it decided to take the easy route by throwing as many body parts across the screen as possible, instead of trying to create a "real" adult animated horror film.

I haven't played the video game yet, because the movie is a prequel story to the game. I liked what I saw! It wasn't the best animated movie I ever saw, but it is really well made and seems to fit nicely into a history. Can't wait for what is going to happen in the game (have seen stills of the movie, which suggests, that the game has a different "cartoon" style than the movie).

As the game is supposed to be, the movie is very violent. The game is supposed to have more scares though. It's graphic (no pun intended), but the horror factor might be low for some people. Characters are very well drawn (again sorry for the pun) and hopefully you'll like this and enjoy it as much as most did here

"Dead Space", is considered as one of the greatest video game's ever made. It was both scary and fun. Upon it's release, not only a comic-book series was made, but a Direct-To-Video animated prequel was released.

The thing's I liked about this movie was the animation was great, I liked how they kept the monster's from the video game in the movie, and I liked the story.

The thing's I didn't like about this movie is that the character's were flat and the acting was mediocre. With the exception of Jim Cummings as The Captain and Kevin Michael Richards as Samuel Irons.

Overall, "Dead Space: Downfall", is a decent prequel that's still worth watching only if you're a fan of the game. If not, then this film is not for you.

This anime was far more entertaining than I'd expected, a pleasant surprise. The animation has a Nickelodeon quality about it and that's the only resemblance to anything nick has ever produced. It's liberal with deep space (surprise!,) aliens, blood, bullets, horror and... bashing... and hacking... and CG, which is good.

It's dumb fun.

Some other movies that come to mind after watching this are Event Horizon, Silent Hill, When they Cry and... Avatar. Many others too, though honestly, this plot and setting, they feel new.

P.S. There is some impressive animation, kudos to the artists.
