What our customer's say!

"Great product!", This was a gift so I wasn't able to check if the product is in perfect condition, but it appears to be in perfect condition and received very quickly.

"Deadspace", the game makes alot more sence after seeing Downfall....its got great animation...and Nika Futterman (Asajj Ventress in animated Star Wars The Clone Wars) as Alissa Vinsent was just PERFECT....very bloody very gory but great story i loved it!!

"Stands on its own", I do not own an Xbox 360 and have never played the 'Dead Space' game but I saw this on the shelf at the store and was curious so I grabbed it. It was MUCH better than I expected. As both a horror and anime fan I thought it was pretty cool. It can stand on its own for the most part and is both animated and voice-acted pretty well. Overall I really enjoyed this.

"now THIS is anime!", prequil to the video game of dead space, downfall tells the story of how an ancient relic was found and all the resulting trouble it caused on the crew of the ishumura. my only complaint being that i wished it was longer, downfall was a gore drenched blast from start to finish. this movie serves two distinct purposes, the first being that it fleshes out the dead space story and the second purpose being that it makes you want to play the game all over again. i really hope that they make an anime of isaac clarke's travels aboard the ishumura, as well as another for the very likely sequel to the game. if you miss the days of aliens, dead space downfall is the animated cure!

"Only good if you get the game", Let's see, the game sounds real good, haven't got it yet, but I'm pretty sure convey's everything the movie could, could've and couldn't.
It's good if you wanna see some shocking animated gorefest in the sci-fi horror vain.
Plot summary sounds better on paper, and the movie ruined it in execution.
You have a ship that brings on an artifact and a creature stows aboard, creature spreads through the morgue infecting/infesting bodies.
The delusional captain (the creatures infect the mind as well) doesn't alert the crew, sending an ill prepared security team (armed only with handguns w/ flashlights) becomes the remaining cast as it whithers away to it's surviving leader from investigation to containment to survival. With the team leader being hellbent on rescuing potential "survivors" (her mind is infected), she stops the ship from a terminal course to burn up on entry, only to send a message that asks for help, which is left off for the game to begin.

"Wow. A video game to animation transfer that isn't garbage?", A prequel to the video game Dead Space by EA(Electronic Arts). Dead Space: Downfall is about a space crew coming into contact with an ancient religious artifact. After bringing it aboard their ship. All chaos begins with the crew members being slaughtered. An alien race is released ripping people to pieces and reviving them. Alissa Vincent is sent with her crew, to learn exactly what they're up against.

I must admit, I came into this expecting the absolute worst. Let's face it, video games to anime or video games to movies for that matter. Don't have the best reputations. They either range from horrible to just ok. I find Dead Space to be slightly above ok.

There's a saying, "every story that is told, has been told", or something along those lines. So it's hard to fault this for originality but it depends on how the story is told. And I found Dead Space to be a mixed bag. I didn't find the characters or most of their interactions interesting, plus the writing was questionable at one point to me. The only thing that I enjoyed was the mindless violence and you get alot of it. You get lots of blood, severed limbs, decapitations, half decapitations, I mean the violence is sick. I do wish the characters had a larger arsenal to take advantage of the movies only strength.

I would have enjoyed this alot more had the animation and artwork been better. The character designs although imaginative on the monsters part, isn't very good. If the movie had the production values of Afro Samurai or even Spriggan, it could have been something memorable.

Overall, this movie definitely isn't for kids due to very little nudity, foul language, and excessive violence. Dead Space will mainly appeal to fans of the game and gore fanatics. Anime fans who aren't familiar with the game, may not get much or anything out of it. If you're an anime fan who loves action and gore in any form, then check it out.

"More, Please", Having watched the six animated comic issues, (available online at [...] or various other sites), and being drawn into the Dead Space universe there, my interest in the game skyrocketed. It had only moderately caught my eye until I learned that there was free content to explore. After watching the comics, and realizing that this game was going to be right up my alley, (a strongly narrative driven, dark as hell sci-fi horror action romp) I was ecstatic to learn that there was to be an animated movie accompanying the release. I picked up the game on its release and it was exactly what I expected from watching the comics, pure awesomeness. My interest was so piqued at this point I picked up the movie along with it.

My review comes from the standpoint of someone who has watched the comics, played the game, and seen the movie. In my opinion, all three medias are f***ing awesome, and seeing the comics first is absolutely necessary to getting the full experience out of the story. After having the background information from the comics, the story of Downfall seems much more complete, and having watched those two, the game itself is much more enjoyable.

As far as the film goes, as a standalone it would seem perhaps a little weak, but when combined with the other two elements, this is a fantastic experience all around. I highly recommend all three.

I particularly love the voice acting of all three medias. The male and female leads, the doctor, and the colony manager in the comics are great, and Captain Matthias in Downfall stand out for me. I am a big fan of the animation of Downfall, I have no complaints, and the stylistic approach to the comics works very well in my opinion.

If you're a sci-fi/horror fan, do yourself a favor and check out all three medias of this superb universe.

"Entertaining, if middling, action film; 3.5 stars", Leave it to Electronic Arts to find ways of making money. Recently, they've been doing grand things with new IPs, what with Mirror's Edge and Dead Space. But, even then, they're constantly thinking of the bottom dollar. Cross platform has been a buzz term recently, as a way of maximizing the profits of their newly crafted IPs. Which brings me to Dead Space. Dead Space is already, technically, a trilogy. Sure you have the game, but there's also a comic book detailing what happened on the mining colony where a mysterious artifact was found. Then there's Downfall, this animated movie that bridges the gap between the two stories.

Downfall begins with the discovery of The Marker, an artifact that the religious movement in Dead Space called Unitology, and its removal and transportation to the Ishimura. Very quickly things start to spiral out of control and, without getting into the details, the necromorphs that inhabited and destroyed the colony inadvertently end up on the Ishimura. From this moment on, it's up to head of security Alissa Vincent and her ragtag team of stereotypes to figure out what the hell is going on and...well, I guess it's not a spoiler to say they don't stop it since if they did, we wouldn't have Dead Space, the game.

Honestly, Downfall is about 90% action, 5% filler and 5% story which isn't a bad thing. It's actually a pretty entertaining romp, albeit a generic one that, like the game, steals a lot from other better films. One big problem I had, though, was that I was expecting a bit more connectivity between this and the game. I purposefully waited to watch the film for fear that it would ruin something from the game. Truthfully, though, there's not really much connection. The only link is that of Doctor Kyne and he, in fact, shares a scene in both the game and the movie. Unfortunately, it isn't the exact same scene, which completely ruins the continuity.

What I did enjoy is that, taken with both the game and the comic, it helps present a fuller picture of the events in the game. It's also pretty entertaining with some very nice animation and plenty of gore. People in Downfall are ripped to shreds, impaled, gored, disemboweled in ways I've never really seen on a film. So for those looking for an action-packed animated movie, Downfall is a good pick. Just don't expect too much.

"Goretacular!", "Dead Space: Downfall" is an animated film that serves as a prequel to the outstanding science-fiction survival horror video game, Dead Space. The story draws heavily upon previous masterpieces of film and game alike which most prominently include Aliens, Resident Evil (the games), 28 Days/Weeks Later and Halo. It makes for an entertaining stand-alone popcorn flick to people unfamiliar with the game and fleshes out the story for fans of the game somewhat by showing the events leading up to the nerve-wracking experience of the game in greater detail.

Whether or not you play video games, if you love animated violence then this is as brutal as it gets. The story involves a mining vessel sent by the fanatical Church of Unitology (Unitarian Scientologists?) to retrieve an artifact on a dead planet. The mining vessels subsist by "cracking" planets and selling the ore. Some say this is detrimental to the harmony of the Universe. I'd say that in this case, that's an understatement. The vessel unwittingly unleashes an alien race -named as "Necromorphs" in the game- that thrive on dead flesh; possessing, reanimating, molding, and mutating it into forms suitable for slaying even more living things to continually spread the race. The result is damn horrific by any standard. To make things worse something is affecting the minds of the crew and driving them mad, making them both eager to die and kill for the aliens. Mix this with an already fanatical religious sect and you've got trouble.

So other than a typical sci-fi alien/zombie invasion romp, some of the usual "organized religion will kill us all" gloom and doom, and a little extra story for gamers what does "Downfall" offer? Violence. Brutal, inhuman, senseless, bloody, evil, unrelenting, unflinching violence. Decapitation, dismemberment, jaws ripped off, folks sawed in half (both horizontally and vertically), eyeball socket abuse, gaping neck wounds, viscera aplenty, and a freakin' mutated dead baby biting a dude in the face. Now that is some hardcore sh!+. The inside of the ship is practically painted in blood, and there's even a bit o' animated full frontal male nudity if that sort of thing piques your interest. So yeah, you may want to send the kids into the next room for this one. The violence in this is awesome. Also be prepared for almost comically excessive profanity.

So with all the attention showered on the putrid piles of dung that are what usually passes for video game adaptations, why has nobody heard of this? The likes of Uwe Boll and Paul Anderson get notoriety and praise (respectively) for ruining unruinable concepts and franchises while a solid flick like this gets shoved to the back of the shelf? Double-you. Tea. Eff. To be fair, "Downfall" isn't exactly all it could have been either. The video game not only looks better visually, but is far more fleshed out storywise. This film does very little to offer insight into the Necromorphs and few varieties even make appearances. I was hoping for a lot more. Practically none of the game's weapons are present either which is odd considering how cool they are and that the game takes place on the exact same ship which has no shortage of said weapons. At least one character does manage to make their way to the video game, which picks up at the last scene of "Downfall".

Gorehounds, adult animation fanatics, sci-fi horror buffs, and video game aficionados are all going to want to see this. It doesn't offer much more than brutal death, but it offers a whole lot of that. I wish it had been done in CG to retain more of the game's amazing look and feel and that the story had encompassed more... well, story but this is definitely an entertaining hour and fifteen minutes. The special features are sparse. Hopefully more video game adaptations will stick to the animated format which has produced solid if not exceptional films like Street Fighter (compare that to the laughable live-action version) and Final Fantasy VII - Advent Children. My fingers are crossed for the upcoming CG flick Resident Evil: Degeneration.

3 1/2 stars, rounded up for being BRUTAL!

"Great adaptation of a gaming property", My biggest concern with any sort of video game adaptation is that it will come off as a required element of the video game or vise versa. This movie is the exact opposite of this fear and that is what makes it great!! I like the way the movie explored the subtle things in the game without burdening the viewer with feeling like they were playing the game again. The writers, Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray, paced the story well and make the characters actually interact and feel real despite the animation. I'm glad I picked up this movie.
