Okay, I did a review of Dead Space, and realized it was based on Video Game Schlock... So I should have known better. Fool me twice, shame on me! This film follows the recollections of three survivors of an encounter with the magic artifact made by aliens who created humanity to be the baseline for cannibalistic zombie-monsters.
As much as it agonizes me to say this, they went with the Rashomon approach, of telling the story from four points of view, and just to underscore it, four different animation styles. The wrap-around footage is CGI schlock, while the actual recollections are done in various types of Korean produced anime. You get the feeling the five animation teams had little to do with each other, and therefore drew four different types of artwork... Even the uniforms and equipment were inconsistent.
Interesting? Kind of, but not really. If anything, the CGI wraparound story is the worst because it's such poor quality of the YouTube variety...
