This is a creative and interesting way to both convey the story of what happened on the O’Bannon while also getting specific perspectives of the information through the eyes of each of our main characters. Each flashback is drawn and animated in a different fashion. The movie is separated into four flashbacks that are bookended by the continuing plot going on in the rescue ship, the USM Abraxis. They start interrogating all of them individually to get their stories on what happened when they were deployed to Aegis VII. When they find them, one of them, Kuttner, goes berserk and kills one of the soldiers, so they’re stunned with high powered tasers and detained. Only four life signs are detected on board out of the 137 listed crew. When they arrive, they see that the ship is littered with torn apart bodies. The USG O’Bannon has suddenly ceased communication with the CEC, so they send out a ‘rescue’ team of marines to see what happened. But since homework is poo, as I mentioned in the last Dead Space movie, Downfall, we’re going to be trying to take this at face value without concerning ourselves too much with continuity issues between the games. Everyone else was slaughtered.Īftermath chronicles the stories of each of the four remaining crew members – Isabel Cho, Nickolas Kuttner, Alejandro Borges and Nolan Stross – as they piece together what happened on the O’Bannon.īreakdown: I’m going to bite my tongue for something I’ll definitely be addressing later, but let me just say this movie had me internally screaming (in a bad way) within the first three minutes and consistently remains a prevalent problem throughout the bookends.ĭead Space: Aftermath was meant to serve as a bridge between the video games Dead Space and Dead Space 2, and….it’s kinda that a little I guess.

When the Marines go to investigate, they find that, out of the 137 crew members of the O’Bannon, there are only four signs of life detected.

However, shortly after they were dispatched, the CEC also loses contact with the O’Bannon. Plot: Three years before the events of Dead Space 2, the USG O’Bannon went to Aegis VII to collect shards of the marker that Isaac Clarke crashed into the surface.
