Watch Dead Space: Aftermath For Free

Did you people see the same film I saw?

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

The animation is good, done in the Animatrix style, where different studios create different parts of the film. The story is typical mystical alien horror, akin to Event Horizon and the terror runs deep. Unfortunately, there isn't much in the way of character development. The story is interesting, but all characters are cardboard and rather inconsistent.Bottom line: better than most live actors horrors, but not by much. Perhaps knowing the Dead Space universe would have helped me enjoy it more. As it is, with a mix of recycled ideas taken from Alien, The Thing and Event Horizon, it's only nice to look at.

Dead Space: Aftermath is the second animated film based on the Dead Space franchise,the first was the surprisingly good Dead Space Downfall. Whilst this entry into the franchise is not as good as the previous film, it is still enjoyable to watch and will please fans.The plot of Aftermath revolves around four surviving crew members of the USG O'Bannon,a ship which becomes host to another Necromorph outbreak. They are rescued by Government officials and interrogated (rather brutally)in order to discover how the outbreak occurred. This consists of four flashbacks from each survivor, each one using a different animation style. These flashbacks are arguably the best segments of the film, each one has its own unique style which reflects the thoughts of the survivor.The sections of the film which take place in the present use CGI which results in some rather poor facial expressions and wooden animation. It would have been more sensible for the filmmakers to forgo this CGI and make these segments using the animation used in Dead Space: Downfall.The voice acting is pretty good and includes a solid cast including Christopher Judge and Gwendoline Yeo. When not animated using CGI, the characters look impressive and more realistic, however, as the film uses different styles for each flashback, the characters change their appearance which can be confusing for some. It's frankly ridiculous that Nolan Stross is a thin man in one flashback, then has a six pack in another.One disappointment I had with the film was the lack of the Necromorphs themselves. They only start to appear about 3/4 of the way through the film and sometimes it's a blink and you miss it moment. Only three Necromorphs from the games are present, the rest are new versions which whilst suitably gruesome looking, don't have the same impact as the fan favorites. The film is suitably bloody and gory, even without their presence but I wanted them to have more screen time.Fans of Dead Space (like me) will enjoy this film which does answer questions and plot holes from the original game. Viewers who haven't played the games will struggle to understand what is going one at times and in all honesty, the film doesn't really give an explanation. If you are prepared to deal with the poor CGI animation and confusing plot, you will find a decent animated film.It's not as good as Downfall but Aftermath is a decent film that will please fans of the Dead Space franchise. The flashbacks are well animated, the voice acting is good and it doesn't hold back on the gore, regardless of the lack of Necromorphs.

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."

I find it strange that it has gotten so many negative reviews, people if you don't like gore + animation, don't watch this movie!!! This is a good entertaining movie especially as a dead space fan. Although i got a bit disappointed about the the animations of the 4 surviving crew members getting interviewed, this was a hell of a good movie!You like downfall you will surely like this as well, its pretty much the same gore except for more evolved creatures, than the past movie.You have to see the first movie in-order to understand the plot of this movie, as a suggestion play the game as well, the ending scene was pretty awesome :)
