 Where is the relation? December 4, 2008
Kevin Schmidt
I was a huge fan of the Dead Space video game and thought the story line was drawn very well. The graphics were intense along with the creepy suspense that followed you throughout the entire game, which can be very difficult to do with a video game. The prequel on the other hand was a different story. ///SPOILER\\\............It explains that the whole crew is dead but I ALREADY KNEW THAT. It never went off any of the auido logs or the written logs, didn't explain anything and was very poorly drawn. The characters were unbelievable and where were the weapons that were used in the game. I was expecting the prequel also to give background on clarke's girl. That was a very interesting story and would have been great if they included it.///END SPOILER\\\
Summation: Get the game, not the movie.
 Great movie December 3, 2008

I loved it and it made the game much clearer.
It's a must to watch the movie before playing the game, it puts everything together.
Mission Accomplished December 2, 2008

I was eager to watch this when I heard of Dead Space. I'm very impressed when cross media franchises are done well, and the thought that this was the prequel to the game made me very curious as to how it would perform. It did a perfect job of making my mouth water with anticipation. The story was well done, the soundtrack is effective, and the atmosphere provides just the right amount of creep factor to let you know to never let down your guard... Watching this has gotten me more than ready to plug in the game!
 Better than some horror movies. November 30, 2008
M. Smith
This movie has stunning action and lots of gore. If you like anime pick it up. You won't be disappointed.
 Okay horror, but not Dead Space November 16, 2008

Downfall is supposed to be the prequel to the Dead Space video game that was released prior to the video. There was a series of preview comics that were downloadable off the XBox marketplace that, and I assumed that the movie was going to be a base for the movie. However, this was not the case.
Ther movie primarily follows the Chief of Security of the Ishimura, who tries to contain the outbreak of violence and the necromorphs on the mining ship. The sequence follows a predictable path of disbelief, followed by a dug-in resistance. Several scenes are badly handled. Namely, a officer sees his own wife decapitate herself, and reacts as if she dropped a carton of eggs on the carpet. The ending is very dark and in line with the games tone. That was probably the only scene that reminded me of the Dead Space game.
Downfall was written and produced by someone who was told the plot of the video game, and maybe saw it played, but had no opportunity to play it themselves, and also had only cliff notes on the backstory. None of the scenes from the movie that appeared in game are remotely similar, and were well done in the video game, so it was disappointing to see them mess with it. None of the weapons of equipment from the game even makes an appearance, though one that does show up prominently, I wish had been in the game.
If the movie had had another title, it would've crawled up to 3 stars, as I wasn't a fan of the srtwork, but the name Dead Space raised expectations, which weren't met on almost every front.
