The animation is good, done in the Animatrix style, where different studios create different parts of the film. The story is typical mystical alien horror, akin to Event Horizon and the terror runs deep. Unfortunately, there isn't much in the way of character development. The story is interesting, but all characters are cardboard and rather inconsistent.
Bottom line: better than most live actors horrors, but not by much. Perhaps knowing the Dead Space universe would have helped me enjoy it more. As it is, with a mix of recycled ideas taken from Alien, The Thing and Event Horizon, it's only nice to look at.
