Angels_Review This is a rather odd one out know where. I had no clue what this was about and if it was connected to anything. All I knew was it was an animation and the artwork looked rather American style. It was rather confusing watching the show because they didn't really explain much about this. Just a warning though, there really is a lot of blood, guts, and nudity in this show.The show gets really odd the more and more you watch it with people acting oddly and bodies turning up all over the place. It seems a lot like it could be a really good video game story rather then a movie. A really horror based video game with people disappearing and going crazy. Of course, it is and this was based off of the story. I guess they did good in that aspect but in another aspect, it just means it should not of been a movie. The rest of the show becomes way too political to keep my interest. We have a hot shot security leader battling against the head of the ship shes on, and then there is her security team who is pretty much the crackshot, the rebel (why is she here again?), the no name computer expert, the big guns, the rookie… am I reminding you of a particular team in any other horror show or game? The animation looks like an American comic book with its well-detailed faces and sunken cheeks that push the cheekbones out. The cg part of this show is kind of lack luster, feeling like they were thrown in though the textures were as close as they could get. Women's bodies seem to be very voluptuous no matter who they are with large breasts and hips and a rather tiny waist. The main character seems like she is very top heavy to the point she looks like she can break her back. Some of the models and backgrounds look like they are steampunk with dark and dingy colorings and rust color specks on most of the objects. I do have a question, what is with the strange lights on the back of their jackets? Then never explain what the hell that was supposed to be though I guess I can estimate that its to show if your alive or not. Not sure why they would need that though. Other parts of the show seem to be pulled right out of a video game. Some things aren't consistent like for example, when one of the characters wives kills herself, she slices the neck almost clean off but when he's carrying her, her head seems to be attached again.The script makes me feel rather confused as they don't explain who everyone is and what the hell they are doing. Not like it matters as all of them turn out to be unimportant. I mean, they end up being nameless stereotypes to space age horror movies. The voices most of the time seem like they are just reading the script of being forced to act surprised. Lots of characters seem to have only two personalities, mad and upset. They all seem to have the same personalities and are pretty generic when it boils down to trying to put a name to a face. There is a lot of swearing, sex talk, and racial and gender related discriminations.
kosmasp 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
Neil Welch I'm not a game player so I'm looking at this simply as a movie.It's very violent. There is some bad language but it seems pointless to complain about this given the level of violence.It's very derivative, seemingly cobbled together out of elements from other movies and games. There are no surprises.The characters exist only to be slaughtered in tried and trusted "last man standing" fashion. Given that you know this from the outset, there is little suspense here.I suppose, if you are aware of its limitations from the outset, there's nothing too much wrong with it. But there's nothing particularly wonderful about it either.
NiteOwl94 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.
