SlyGuy21 While "Downfall" wasn't perfect, it was at least consistent. Much like when I watched "Gotham Kinght" earlier this year, the biggest flaw this film suffers from is it's inconsistency. The animation quality varies from sub-par CGI, to good, to hyper-realistic, to minimal. Was it really that difficult to stick to a single style of animation, or hell, tell a complete story? Granted after seeing "Downfall", there aren't a lot of surprises that can be offered here. People go crazy and kill each other, but at least "Downfall" was a whole story. This is 5 shorts combined into one movie, and while flashbacks would've worked, the constant changing of animation distracts from the story. This was made to fill in the gaps between "Dead Space" and it's sequel, but at the end of the day, there's not really a story to be told here.

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.

Rectangular_businessman This wasn't a very good anthology movie in my opinion.While "Dead Space: Aftermath" had a better plot than "Dead Space: Downfall" (Which only consisted into showing a bunch of characters killing and being killed by monstrous aliens) the poor animation and the thin characterization doesn't allow this to be a truly enjoyable film.The CGI from this movie was very ugly and unappealing. It almost like something done in the early nineties, having minimal details, characters devoid of emotion on their faces, which are only able to make robotic and unnatural movements.On the other side, the flashbacks included on "Dead Space: Aftermath" are done in a anime design, which isn't much better either, but it almost look good in comparison with hideous computer animation used in the parts of the movie which take place in the present.None of the stories were particularly good nor interesting, and all of them were a bit predictable and dull.While the premise of showing the same events from different perspectives was certainly interesting and with lots of potential, the overall result still lefts too much to be desired.However, I do think that this was an improvement in comparison with the uninspired "Dead Space:Downfall". Even when this wasn't a very successful experiment, at least it's a step in the right direction.

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.
