The end of the game Dead Space wasn’t particularly open for sequelisation. Unfortunately, for one very big reason that I’m going to go into in a moment (and you’ll spot why from the pictures), this is a fundamentally terrible film that narrowly ducks an Orangutan of Doom based entirely on the fact that it is such a good idea.įirstly, I’m going to give credit where it is due. There are problems with Unitologists again, and the film unfolds in four flashbacks on board the Sprawl. However, I don’t like Dead Space Aftermath, and I doubly don’t like pissing all over good ideas through a combination of incompetence and trying to be too fucking clever.ĭead Space Aftermath picks up the story of the doomed rescue mission conducted by the USS O’Bannon (HAR-DE-FUCKING-HAR) which is ostensibly attempting to find survivors of the Ishimura and also to try to retrieve whatever Isaac left of the alien artifact known as The Marker. I also like the Rashomon idea of telling the same story from multiple points of view.

Seriously, I like the idea of extending the Dead Space universe because it’s big, well thought out and fundamentally interesting. This isn’t so much of a review, more a polemic where I’m going to vent some spleen on a good idea completely butchered through sheer incompetence.
