Dead Space: Aftermath is a science fiction-horror animated movie released in 2011, directed by Mike Disa and produced by Film Roman. The movie is based on the popular video game franchise named Dead Space, published by Electronic Arts. It is the second animated movie and a part of the Dead Space series. The story of Dead Space: Aftermath takes place in the future, where humans have colonized planets beyond our solar system. A team of scientists and engineers from the Concordance Extraction Corporation (CEC) is sent to the planet Aegis Seven to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a mining colony that was extracting a valuable mineral called "Markers." Upon arrival, they find the colony in ruins with the dead bodies of miners scattered all over the place.

The team discovers something far more sinister is at work on the planet when they uncover a Marker, an ancient alien artifact that has the power to unleash unimaginable evil. The Marker is the source of a deadly virus that turns people into monstrous creatures called Necromorphs. The infection spreads quickly, and soon the team members start to turn one after the other. The remaining survivors must find a way to contain the outbreak and escape the planet before it's too late.

Christopher Judge voices the character of Nickolas Kuttner, the captain of the CEC team who is haunted by his past mistakes. He is a strong leader and determined to save his crew, but his inner demons threaten to consume him. Ricardo Chavira voices the character of Alejandro Borges, an engineer who has a personal connection to the Marker. Gwendoline Yeo voices the character of Thessa Kyriakis, a scientist who struggles to maintain her sanity as the infection takes over her body. Curt Cornelius is the voice actor for the character of Nolan Stross, an eccentric scientist who provides valuable information about the Marker's origins.

The animation of Dead Space: Aftermath is a mix of traditional and motion-capture animation that creates a unique style. The character designs are faithful to the video game's look, and the monsters are terrifying to watch. The movie's color palette is dark and moody, creating an atmosphere of dread and tension throughout the runtime. The animation is fluid and dynamic during action sequences and does not shy away from showing graphic violence.

The pacing of Dead Space: Aftermath is slow in the beginning as the movie builds up the tension and establishes the characters. The plot is a bit convoluted, with flashbacks revealing the characters' backstories, which might confuse some viewers. However, the movie picks up the pace as soon as the Necromorphs show up, and the action sequences are well-executed. The climax of the movie is intense and satisfying, with a twist that will leave viewers stunned.

The movie's themes are typical of the horror genre, with a focus on the consequences of playing god and the danger of exploring the unknown. The team's hubris in attempting to extract the Marker without fully understanding its nature leads to their downfall. The movie also touches upon the effect of isolation on the human mind and the fear of being infected by a deadly virus. Despite the familiar territory, Dead Space: Aftermath makes these themes relevant and engaging.

Overall, Dead Space: Aftermath is a well-made animated movie that will satisfy fans of the Dead Space franchise and horror enthusiasts. The animation is top-notch, the characters are interesting, and the monsters are terrifying. The pacing and plot might be a bit convoluted at times, but the action sequences and the climax make up for it. The themes of the movie are relevant to today's society, making this movie more than just a gory horror flick.
