The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

First of all I enjoyed this movie. Its not a perfect ten out of ten filled with drama, suspense and emotion.Its not that, this is a fun kill kill kill action sc-fi.The characters aren't done perfectly but their done at the scale of a seven maybe a tad higher. Their not deep, their a bit clichéd but their still fun to have around. I personally enjoyed the heroine for her clichéd bullheadedness.The story had its interesting parts but for the most part broke even though I felt the ending was fairly solid. Story aside my attention was drawn more to the tid bits on the universe the film takes place in.The world in which the film takes place is set up nicely enough. It never or rarely felt like the movie forced information down my throat, plus I enjoyed the bits that where thrown my way. These bits might not be dropped perfectly but they weren't pain inducing.Though the movie did not have me groaning over any particular part there is a reason this movie is a seven and not a ten or an eight. First of all their seems to be pacing issues. Just when it feels there should be sound or emotion the film gives you a scene that's just "ehh".This let down can be seen in multiple scenes, scenes that could have been better with just a touch of line, music or maybe more emotion out of the actors. Either way these scenes could have taken on emotion but they went "ehh"."Ehh" seems to be this movie's Achilles heel. The film in my viewings had no parts where I felt a scene was painful but their where definitely parts that needed work and ended up being "ehh". That said I enjoyed the movie, it was fun, the story kept my attention, and I enjoyed the heroine for this it has to be seven not good enough to be an eight but not bad enough to be a six.

Great animated sci-fi horror movie! Non stop action, gripping storyline and great characters. Definitely one for the hardcore horror movie fans. Gore galore, but done stylishly! Very exciting from start to finish, you even see the ending at the very start of the movie pulp fiction style! But it is the journey and not the outcome which makes this movie so entertaining.The animation is not resident evil next gen cgi stuff, but the grittiness definitely fits the macabre feel of this movie and does not take away from the overall quality.I feel the action scenes are done very well, and the creepiness of the artifact and its unknown power underlying every scene adds great suspense! I think the movie is like a cross between event horizon, eve online and left for dead! I have not played the game but am certainly not disappointed to have seen the movie first. In fact after watching the movie I expect that playing the characters through the storyline in a game would be great!So finally a big 9 for Downfall, especially as there are too many manga enthusiasts judging this book by its cover, I think it deserves better. Don't take my word for it, watch this and find out for yourself!

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.

This isn't by any means an amazing anime film that can hold it's own in a genre that boasts titles like Akira, Princess Monokee and Howl's Flying Kingdom etc...which take us on epic journeys with deeper characters and that indulge in fantasy and sci-fi fun!That being said this isn't bad though and if you are a fan of the game (which I am) you'll enjoy and be disappointed by Dead Space: Downfall. See in the game it's fun, scary and well paced. This is that as well but all to a lesser degree, mostly do to it's "wooden" feel.A moderate companion and counter part to the great video game, Downfall earns a very modest 7 out of 10
