Movie Reviews of Dead Space: Downfall
Movie Review: I Thought Dead Space: Downfall was great!
Summary: 5 Stars
Here we have a really good, and incredibly disturbing animated sci-fi Horror film! `Dead Space: Downfall' is a full-length film which serves as a very cool prequel to the video game that was just unleashed onto the world. Just in time for Halloween, this movie serves up a nice big plate of blood, guts, and sci-fi monster horror.
Weather you are a fan of Dead Space, animation, horror, or science fiction this is one of those movies that just hits your geek glands in all the right places. It is ultra violent and very clever in the way they execute the story and action sequences. This animated movie does not hold back on the blood, violence, and action. The creative team really takes it to a whole new level on American animated violence.
The film takes place on a spacecraft during a mining mission. They uncover an ancient artifact that they think may prove the existence of God. The only problem is it seems like it proves more of the existent of the devil. It's like a Pandora's Box and the crew just opened it. The crew remove the artifact from its resting place and bring it onto the ship, because it sounded like a good idea at the time. So what happens? Only one of the worst things imaginable. A long-dormant alien race is unleashed on the ship, to viciously tear apart, and take over every human on board. The crew is totally unprepared for this madness, and it turns into one hell of a crazy blood bath battle for survival. A little slice of heaven that transforms the spacecraft into a living hell.
I had a great time watching this movie. The action comes at you really fast and once it starts there is no letting up. One scene after another you get bombarded with fun badassery as you follow a small group of soldiers trying to survive the carnage that beats down on them.
Just to give you an idea, if I were to compare this movie to any other film it would be `Event Horizon'. `Dead Space: Downfall' is actually a better film than most of the horror films Hollywood has been releasing in theaters recently.
You gotta watch this movie!
Movie Review: More, Please
Summary: 5 Stars
Having watched the six animated comic issues, (available online at [...] or various other sites), and being drawn into the Dead Space universe there, my interest in the game skyrocketed. It had only moderately caught my eye until I learned that there was free content to explore. After watching the comics, and realizing that this game was going to be right up my alley, (a strongly narrative driven, dark as hell sci-fi horror action romp) I was ecstatic to learn that there was to be an animated movie accompanying the release. I picked up the game on its release and it was exactly what I expected from watching the comics, pure awesomeness. My interest was so piqued at this point I picked up the movie along with it.
My review comes from the standpoint of someone who has watched the comics, played the game, and seen the movie. In my opinion, all three medias are f***ing awesome, and seeing the comics first is absolutely necessary to getting the full experience out of the story. After having the background information from the comics, the story of Downfall seems much more complete, and having watched those two, the game itself is much more enjoyable.
As far as the film goes, as a standalone it would seem perhaps a little weak, but when combined with the other two elements, this is a fantastic experience all around. I highly recommend all three.
I particularly love the voice acting of all three medias. The male and female leads, the doctor, and the colony manager in the comics are great, and Captain Matthias in Downfall stand out for me. I am a big fan of the animation of Downfall, I have no complaints, and the stylistic approach to the comics works very well in my opinion.
If you're a sci-fi/horror fan, do yourself a favor and check out all three medias of this superb universe.
Movie Review: Awesome movie for an Awesome game.
Summary: 5 Stars
its too bad this video isnt introduced before you play dead space, the movie is full of action packed suspense and gore, but its not cheesy or dull in any way.Personally I had fun, kinda like a roller coaster, fun all the way through. If your a fan of the game or violent animated movies I would reccomend dead space downfall.
warning: The movie does contain alot of graphic violence and gore as well as vulgar language.This movie is definitly not for kids and adults only.
Not much else to say other than I thought the animation was good, story was pretty good, action was good.
This movie is literally over the top in terms of gore for an animated movie, I havent seen so much blood since watching princess mononoke...not reccomended for the faint of heart or depressed person.Im going to also say insomniacs stay away.
The animation is traditional, no cg whatsoever(if your like me and have a special appreciation for trad animation)
So many bad reviews im going to say you either didnt watch the whole thing, you havent played the game, your not that into animated/gore movies.
5/5 from me, voice acting was good kind of like a saturday morning cartoon except for adults. On a positive note, after you watch this movie you cant help but crave the need to play the game.
Movie Review: now THIS is anime!
Summary: 5 Stars
prequil to the video game of dead space, downfall tells the story of how an ancient relic was found and all the resulting trouble it caused on the crew of the ishumura. my only complaint being that i wished it was longer, downfall was a gore drenched blast from start to finish. this movie serves two distinct purposes, the first being that it fleshes out the dead space story and the second purpose being that it makes you want to play the game all over again. i really hope that they make an anime of isaac clarke's travels aboard the ishumura, as well as another for the very likely sequel to the game. if you miss the days of aliens, dead space downfall is the animated cure!Movie Review: Great adaptation of a gaming property
Summary: 5 Stars
My biggest concern with any sort of video game adaptation is that it will come off as a required element of the video game or vise versa. This movie is the exact opposite of this fear and that is what makes it great!! I like the way the movie explored the subtle things in the game without burdening the viewer with feeling like they were playing the game again. The writers, Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray, paced the story well and make the characters actually interact and feel real despite the animation. I'm glad I picked up this movie.
