So I've always been a fan of DEAD SPACE games and been on abit of a Dead Space kick as of late, bought both movies and the novel and god damn if I had the money I'd be buying the bladecutter replica in my local nerd shop for £300 phaaw dat weapon.
Right now I will warn you right away not to get put off of this movie just from the CGI because it.is.the.worst.CGI.I.ever.saw EVER SAW.
The CGI is terrible so bad I had no words for it but thankfully the CGI part of the story only serves as a break between the anime style story parts. Think of the 'Animetrix' where each story is a different anime style, it's pretty neat.
The worst CGI....
The story closes the gap between DEAD SPACE 1 and 2 and focuses on resident crazy mother fucker Nolan Stross and his team. His team are him, a Hispanic fella with a mech arm, a big buff black man and a Chinese nurse and a bunch of other people that.. don't really matter although drunken Scottish captain amuses me. But don't get attached to anyone the death count is huge.
I always love comic books, movies, novels that fill gaps between things it just gives the franchise more of a story and if you really loved the games this movie keeps damn cannon and strings things together and you often go 'oooh that makes sense'
Each story is from a characters point of view and has a different anime style, all are pretty awesome minus the last one which is on par with the shitty CGI but I'm no art critic what do I know? Not scary in the least bit but an interesting watch, the blood and gore is well animated and I love the Necromorphs.
We find out about the Marker, where it went after Isaac fucked shit up in number 1 and how it took over the place you go as Isaac in number 2, find out how he gets there and how everything started and it's a good ol' watch. I don't want to ruin it TOO much.
The black guy is a crazy mother fucker and often sees his dead girl and shit goes wrong for our team, anyone who comes in contact with the MARKER decides to go batshit insane and off the deep end which explains why Nolan Stross is a giant nutball.
We find out he also has a part in the Ishimura and he's happily married with a son but his wife has a case of YOUR SLEEPING WITH YOUR CO-WORKER BAAAAW!! which in all fairness he IS which leads to some badly drawn boobies and we see as well as being crazy and hen pecked Nolan has a case of shadow crotch.
So his wife does his head in and is rewarded with blade cutter to the face.
We see some signs of the crazy ass religion that is all over in DEAD SPACE cannon but not too much which did shock me since it is all around in both games. Stross himself views Necromorphs as the future and this causes him to really descend into true nutbaggary.
A cool thing about the movie other then the neat animations from the peoples POV's is they use all the sound effects used in the game which add's to cannon and is a nice touch.
I can't stress enough how awful the CGI is and that you should not let it put you off because the rest is a very good watch.
Story: 5/5
Animation: 4/5
Gore: 3/5
Overall: 4.5/5
