IDontRideBarrels Overall this is a fairly mediocre film. It's short, under 80 minutes, so it's not a waste of time even if you hate it. Dead Space: Downfall is much better even though it's 3 years older. The plot is more cohesive and so is the animation style, a very important aspect.While there can be some complaints about the plot in Aftermath (mostly regarding repetition), it's reasonably decent, and the biggest complaint is the visual aspect. The film is divided into multiple parts and each is made differently - some with 2D animation and some with 3D animation. The 3D is completely awful despite the lighting (inexcusably worse than cutscenes from some PS1 games) and the 2D is weird in the last portion (not objectively BAD, but the style isn't fitting and heavily conflicts with previous sections). Most people would probably rate this as a 7 or 8 if Aftermath used the first part's 2D animation throughout.If you're a fan of Dead Space it's probably worth watching Aftermath, but I wouldn't recommend it; I'd recommend Downfall instead. It's not amazing, but it's much better than Aftermath in all aspects.

FlippyisFloppy 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.

Paul Magne Haakonsen Not being familiar with any of the "Dead Space" games, or the first animated movie, I have nothing to compare this to, so this is all by what I thought of this 2011 animation."Dead Space: Aftermath" had a nice enough story and it was easy to follow. The story is about a small group of four survivors who are rescued after a tragic occurrence, but now they have to tell their stories to people who seem to have little regards for their well-being. As I said, not being familiar with anything prior to this animated movie, then I have no idea how true or far from the original plot lines this movie is. The storyline was nice and well told.However, the solid storyline was brought down tremendously as they had opted to use various styles of animation and art styles. Most of these, sadly enough, were not in my personal liking, and thus it brought down the enjoyment of the movie for me. Especially the CGI animation, that was just horrendous. It looked like it was released before they had applied the finishing touches to it. In my opinion, then "Dead Space: Aftermath" would have fared better had they opted to stay with just one style of art and animation (in my opinion, the style they used when they were telling doctor Cho's story).As for the voice acting, well then I think they really did manage to put together a good group of people for the voice acting. So that was really working out well for the movie.I am sure that this 2011 animated movie is a great thing for fans of the games, but it failed to fully ensnare and captivate me. I am giving "Dead Space: Aftermath" a 5/10 rating because of the story alone, the different art styles and animation styles was the knife that killed it off for me.

cattrelc I haven't played any of the games or watched any of the other movies. In fact, I didn't even know that there were other movies until I finished watching this waste of a film and logged onto IMDb to tell everyone to not waste a minute of their life on this! As if the story wasn't contrived enough, the animation style varies wildly throughout the movie. A couple of the sequences look OK but most of them are pretty poor. Plastic, Poser animations for the characters and cookie cutter backgrounds. I don't understand how things like this get made. You would think that at some point in the production, someone who had seen a decent animation would have told these folks to stop wasting their time!
