It seems like the movie creators wanted to make it a bloodbath without any sense to the blood and violence. The only problem with it is some of the choices made by the Interrogation were puzzling and didn’t make a lot of sense. The four characters they introduce do have some interesting back stories and it does play out as a standard horror picture. The thing is that the movie is actually pretty decent. I probably fit into the latter as I own a copy of Dead Space, just never got around to playing it. Those who give the feature a chance are people who have already kept up with the mythos to this point or are going to go back and start exploring that mythos top to bottom. Furthermore, it is going to confuse the heck out of a lot of people. But it is sold as a movie to an unsuspecting audience. So basically, Aftermath is a mid season story that acts as a bridge between games. They are some graphic novels thrown in to clean up some of the gaps. The first few episodes were Dead Space: Downfall (available on Blu-Ray), followed by Dead Space 1 the game, and then the ones after Aftermath are Dead Space 2, the brand new game. Dead Space: Aftermath is episode 10,11, and 12. Imagine a twenty episode season of a half hour show. The movie runs a tidy seventy eight minutes but a lot of ground is covered. What is truly going on and will anybody survive? With each interrogation of the four survivors we learn a little more about the mystery. There is something more to this story than a mission gone awry. However, we soon learn that Nicholas seemed to come into contact with a very strange alien artifact. The problem is that the planet is splitting apart at the seems and time is not on their side. The plan was to stabilize the planet with gravity stabilizers. The movie flashes back to the space mission on Aegis 7. The mission there was very secretive and had many layers but he tells his side. He does so reluctantly and starts to spin the tale of the mission to Aegis 7. The Lead Interrogator decides to simulate the act of burning him alive in order to get him to speak. Their first subject is Nicholas Kuttner who is constantly talking about his dead daughter who unfortunately he thinks is very much alive. Once aboard the ship, the leaders there decide to interrogate the survivors and see if they can extract the information they need. The rescue crew soon subdues the four and then takes them back to the lead ship. The survivors put up a fight while Nolan mentions something about the Conversions being here and they will be made whole. The people still alive are Isabel Cho, Alejandro Borges, Nicholas Kuttner and Nolan Stross. The crew rushes and finds the four life beings. They find four blips on their equipment and then the engine starts up without warning. Soon, the scene shifts to inside the ship where there is a rescue crew investigating for life signs. Suddenly we see a bunch of dead bodies all around the ship. We enter to see the USG O’Bannon come into view. One of these I received recently was Dead Space: Aftermath on Blu-ray to promote the launch of Dead Space 2. Many video games these days do the cross-promotion thing whether it would be books, movies or even games before the actual game. So by default, whenever something video game related comes to this site, it goes to me. As most fans of this site know, I’m the resident video game expert on the site.
