This wasn't a very good anthology movie in my opinion.
While "Dead Space: Aftermath" had a better plot than "Dead Space: Downfall" (Which only consisted into showing a bunch of characters killing and being killed by monstrous aliens) the poor animation and the thin characterization doesn't allow this to be a truly enjoyable film.
The CGI from this movie was very ugly and unappealing. It almost like something done in the early nineties, having minimal details, characters devoid of emotion on their faces, which are only able to make robotic and unnatural movements.
On the other side, the flashbacks included on "Dead Space: Aftermath" are done in a anime design, which isn't much better either, but it almost look good in comparison with hideous computer animation used in the parts of the movie which take place in the present.
None of the stories were particularly good nor interesting, and all of them were a bit predictable and dull.
While the premise of showing the same events from different perspectives was certainly interesting and with lots of potential, the overall result still lefts too much to be desired.
However, I do think that this was an improvement in comparison with the uninspired "Dead Space:Downfall". Even when this wasn't a very successful experiment, at least it's a step in the right direction.
