The characters lack depth and emotional charge and the story itself is somehow ripping off key elements from John Carpenter's 'The Thing' (the designs of the creatures.), Ridley Scott's 'Alien' (the intro on the distant planet, the strong female lead, the ship sent by some corrupt institution we never really see.). And the reason for this is mainly the screenplay. So when I got my hands on this one I was pretty excited - a brand new mature oriented animated feature!! And when I say mature oriented I mean that it has some swear words plus animated violence and blood, which we don't see every day, especially when it comes to western animation (cause if you're into anime you can't complain from the lack of these elements) 'Dead Space: Downfall' is above average, but far from brilliant. First of all let me say - I have no idea about the DEAD SPACE game and I'm not a fan of the game, but I am a hardcore animation fan and I follow pretty much everything that comes out.

While I'm writing this review the current IMDb rating is 6.2 and I find it quite fare.
