Dead Space: Downfall (2008 Video)
7/10
Not perfect not great but good
3 January 2017
First of all I enjoyed this movie. Its not a perfect ten out of ten filled with drama, suspense and emotion.Its not that, this is a fun kill kill kill action sc-fi.

The characters aren't done perfectly but their done at the scale of a seven maybe a tad higher. Their not deep, their a bit clichéd but their still fun to have around. I personally enjoyed the heroine for her clichéd bullheadedness.

The story had its interesting parts but for the most part broke even though I felt the ending was fairly solid. Story aside my attention was drawn more to the tid bits on the universe the film takes place in.

The world in which the film takes place is set up nicely enough. It never or rarely felt like the movie forced information down my throat, plus I enjoyed the bits that where thrown my way. These bits might not be dropped perfectly but they weren't pain inducing.

Though the movie did not have me groaning over any particular part there is a reason this movie is a seven and not a ten or an eight. First of all their seems to be pacing issues. Just when it feels there should be sound or emotion the film gives you a scene that's just "ehh".This let down can be seen in multiple scenes, scenes that could have been better with just a touch of line, music or maybe more emotion out of the actors. Either way these scenes could have taken on emotion but they went "ehh".

"Ehh" seems to be this movie's Achilles heel. The film in my viewings had no parts where I felt a scene was painful but their where definitely parts that needed work and ended up being "ehh". That said I enjoyed the movie, it was fun, the story kept my attention, and I enjoyed the heroine for this it has to be seven not good enough to be an eight but not bad enough to be a six.
