"They think they can control this?"

I've played the games, but wasn't religiously hooked by them. The first feature "Downfall" was decent, but "Aftermath" would only be more of the same. Where this entry fits in would be a sequel to "Dead Space" the EA video game and its animated feature prequel "Dead Space: Downfall". What are happening in "Aftermath" are the events that occur before the second game "Dead Space 2". Earth has lost contact with the Ishimura ship and engineer Isaac Clarke, but now it's the responder ship the USG O'Bannon with only four crew members returning and we get the perspective views of these survivors of what just occurred on this mission in locating and securing an alien artefact. Secrets are kept, shady dealings are instigated and true intentions are revealed. You know… corporations with their big plans as they interrogate the four survivors. Its pulp, but entertaining… albeit the compounded plot is kind of a mish mash of ideas, which don't entirely gel and has been done numerous times before. You could say it's rather talky with theories chucked about. The first feature "Downfall" stuck to one type of animation, but this one experimented with a mixture of styles which I wasn't much of a fan. However it was just as graphic and ruthless with its nightmarish illustrations, but the atmospheric eeriness and brute intensity only lasted in pockets due to it not taking a straightforward approach with its narrative. Pretty much it starts at the end, to retell the story from form four different viewpoints mixing the animation with that. The voice work is acceptably good. "Aftermath" is nothing special, but just another chapter to the "Dead Space" universe. "I need a test subject."

Forgettable

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.
