Dead Space - Aftermath


Based on the videogame of the same name, 'Dead Space Aftermath' tells the story of what happened on the planet Aegis 7 and aboard the starship O'Bannon. Each person who survived the expedition to that unstable planet find themselves being interrogated by the goverment that first sent them on their mission.

It's an insteresting story with a overarching mystery. Each survivors version of what happened to them is done with a different style of animation so we see the events from different viewpoints. It's not as difficult to follow than it sounds.

"The year is 2509 and not only has Earth lost contact with the Ishimura and Isaac Clarke, but now also the USG O'Bannon, the first responder ship sent to rescue them. Four crew members of the O'Bannon have survived. But what happened to the rest of the crew? What were they doing? What secrets are they keeping? All to be revealed...in the Aftermath! Dead Space: Aftermath is a fast paced, horrifying thrill ride told through the perspective of the four survivors by several renowned international directors." - Wikipedia

I am sure if I had played the video game that this movie is based on that I would have enjoyed the movie more. Even without knowledge from the game, however, I found this to be an okay space mystery. Nothing great. It has much bloody violence and harsh language so it's not for the younger kids.

5/10
