The Age of Commercialism

Thanks for the memories!

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

I Think the Movie was well done. the animations, the Music, the atmosphere, and the voice acting was good as well. the plot was good to and keeps you interrested and keeps a good tempo and the Movie isnt too long so you dont get bored. overall dont have much bad to say about it. i just wished i watched it in better quality.

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

This movie is a prequel to the EA's game''Dead Space''I not played the game,because I haven't a PS3 or Xbox 360. The story tell about the events in the USG Ishimura before the USG Kellion arrives.The protagonist is the Head of security in the Ishimura,Alissa Vincent,who smells that something is going wrong when a strange artifact,called the Red Marker,is transported by the Ishimura. Then a pair of creatures appears in the Ishimura,infecting the crew.Vincent and his team(Ramirez,Shen,Hanson,Pendleton and Dobbs)along a Unitologist(a religious sect)engineer called Samuel Irons,while the Ishimura's captain and the doctor Kyne helps Alissa and her team.But the characters haven't any emotions,they are like dolls.The plot and the dialogues are very simple and childish.Dead Space:Downfall only save from the burning because of its abundant gore.SPOILER:When Hanson goes crazy and kills Shen,OMG,that's a stupid moment!,only a excuse to kill 2 characters.

Dead Space: Downfall: 6 out of 10: A prequel to the Electronic Arts video game Dead space? An Animated version of Event Horizon? A film made by and for 13 year old boys? Dead Space: Downfall is all three of these.Dead Space: Downfall is a prequel for the video game event of 2008 Dead Space. Well Dead Space would have been the video game event of 2008 had Saints Row 2, Fable 2,Grand Theft Auto 4, Fallout 3, Metal Gear Solid 4, and Little Big Planet not been released. Dead Space did get good reviews and sold fairly well, still it is unusual for a middle of the pack game to get a full blown animated feature. Not to mention a comic book tie-in that is a prequel to Dead Space Downfall which, of course, is the prequel to the video game Dead Space. Confused yet? Good. All together now, Dead Space: Downfall is the middle leg of a full blown multimedia trilogy based on a first person shooter that got lost among superior titles during the 2008 Christmas season.Now it is a bit unfair to claim Dead Space is simply an animated version of Event Horizon. It steals heavily from Alien as well. The story starts with the discovery of a large alien artifact on a distant planet. The artifact causes the people of the planet to start killing each other and mutating. So the captain of a mining vessel orbiting said planet decides to take the artifact aboard and bring it to Earth. No points on guessing what happens next. There is some side plot of the artifact being religious in nature and the Captain is a religious fanatic (I believe he is Unitarian), but in general you have mutated crew vs. non-mutated crew trapped on spaceship that has a surprising number of chainsaws for a mining vessel. Dead Space: Downfall is also a movie made for and by thirteen year old boys. There is plenty of the old ultra violence yet none of that icky in and out to be found. And the dialogue yikes… I haven't heard this much swearing since the HBO series Deadwood. Every other world is an expletive. The rest of the dialogue will not win any awards either. Here are the three memorable quotes from IMDb.Dobbs: There's a lot of blood in this room, but no bodies. Shen: Sounds like one of your parties Dobbs: Or your sex life!Hansen: This s's getting' weirder by the second! Dobbs: Sounds like a date with Shen. Shen: F you, rookie!Alissa Vincent: This is no time to be a hero, Irons! Samuel Irons: I'm not a hero, just a man.I did not realize thirteen year olds could join the screenwriter's guild. And keep in mind these groan worthy quotes are the best the film has to offer.All is not awful of course. Downfall is all in all a decent time waster. The animation isn't great but it works with the story. The action is kinetic and the violence is often delightfully over the top. The clichéd story is told in an easy to understand manner and the voice acting… well did I mention the violence is good.If you played the Dead Space game or passed the box art at Gamestop you know how this movie concludes and the story contains no real surprises. While his isn't the next Heavy Metal it is a decent rental for a rainy Saturday afternoon.
