Hmm... I guess movie would only be worth watching after having played the game. The action is decent but sparse. And with the story the were given they could have done a lot more.

Blood, limbs, etc.

Dead Space, yay! Downfall, nay...

this is what it is -- an animated feature based on a video game. it's nothing special.

Completely pointless animated prequel that serves no purpose to exist as you can pretty much piece together the events prior to the first game for yourself without even watching this. Better than most animated video game cash-ins.

Better watch the Alien films again...

I really like the anime style, but there are a few parts that could have been animated better. Also, a few liberties have been taken. This is really for those who played the game since this fills in some backstory. But since it is backstory, it isn't necessary to have played the game.

Not really into video games too much, but I thought that this movie was alright. There aren't too many animated horror movies out there, so I really wanted to like this. Animation was good, the voices were alright. Decent enough watch.

Taken as a stand alone entity, Downfall is a generally mediocre affair with some decent artwork and a plotline stereotypical for the genre. However it also feels flawed when viewed as a supplement to the very enjoyable Dead Space video game, at some points directly contrasting the main plotline just as much as it adds backstory to it.

Dont Play The Game, But Was Watchable

Trite in the extreme. I literally could identify not only who dies next, but how. I wanted more, but it just drags and adds nothing to the genre of sci-fi monster movie.

sticks true to the subject matter, almost to a fault. i really dont have much bad to say about it, great idea, one that could have been one of the best sci-fi/horror crosses ever. if only it had been a big budget live action movie with impeccable writing/acting/direction, this would be a drastically important movie, but as it is it could only fill a niche that only a select few can appreciate.

Equals the game in twisted imagery and ultragore, and should be seen as a supplement.

Great and ultra brutal as the game. Gallons of blood, and someone has to pick up the pieces. Loved it !

Adds absolutely nothing to the story from the game. Dont bother.

It is what it is, an animated prelude to a video game. No one bent over backwards here trying to make a masterpiece or break new ground. Enjoy it for what it is.

Good backstory for the game, possibly not that interesting if you don't plan on playing or have played the game.

One of the closest thing to animated horror. All it has to offer is a lot of blood and gore.

Surprisingly good considering that it's not much more than a video game prequel. The animation is average and the plot is similar to a lot of other films, but overall it's a fun horror flick that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Absolute rubbish. I could find nothing of merit.

there's nothing original about it. if you don't take it as a feature length animated movie but instead as a prequel to a video game, then it's fun to watch. you may even get some clues for the game...
