Dead Space animated movie releasing alongside Dead Space 2
Many times a video game doesn’t have the well-developed plot or characters to transition into a successful movie. Someone does it anyway, though. Dead or Alive and Postal leap immediately to mind.
The universe of Dead Space, however, just screams movie adaptation.
Anchor Bay Entertainment will release Dead Space Aftermath, an animated film, on January 25, 2011, alongside Dead Space 2. It’s $34.99 on Blu-Ray and $26.98 on DVD. There’s also a prequel book coming out on December 29, 2010.
Gamertell Review: Dead Space Downfall on DVD, Blu-ray
Title: Dead Space DownfallRelease Date: October 28, 2008Company: Anchor BayRating: Not RatedLength 74 minutesPros: Strong story as a prequel. Great character development. Monster, environment and perspective animation is spot-onCons: Voice acting didn’t work as well as it could have, character animation has inconsistent quality, tiresome paceOverall Score: Two thumbs sideways, 74/100, C, ** out of five
Dead Space, EA’s new survival horror game (PS3, box 360, PC/Win), already has a film adaption titled Dead Space: Downfall. It’s an adequate yet irritating sci-fi/horror cartoon that acts as a prequel to the beautiful and horrifying game…
