Resident Evil: Death Island

I watched this movie with my friends and we all had a blast. Don't expect it to have a unique or well-written plot. After all, it's a Resident Evil CG movie. However, for fans of the characters, watching all of them interact in this movie is a treat to those who have been waiting since the original trilogy. Additionally, Jill's return into the chronological timeline since 2009 is exciting.

The main villain and his henchmen are very one-dimensional and flat, but that is to be expected. The villain has a tragic backstory that isn't even worth getting invested in. His motivations are incomprehensible. That didn't stop me from finding the movie fun, though.

Over-the-top action, cheesy dialogue, and all your favorite characters from the series. This movie is by no means a masterpiece, however, if you're a fan of the series who's able to suspend your belief and manage your expectations, you might find this movie fun to watch, especially if you enjoyed the previous Resident Evil CGI movies.

What I loved about the movie is its dedication to the series and detail-oriented approach in terms of characters and their personalities, for example, Leon has his usual corny (yet adorable) one-liners, while Jill (modeled after her RE 3 Remake appearance) was passionate, emotional, and at the same time, trying to look as serious as she can.

Go see it if you're a fan, if not, don't, there's isn't much to see here.

Characters are a bit stiff outside of the fluid fight scenes. The plot is another 'rando bad guy is angy somehow gets their hands on tech / scientist and decides to destroy the world to rebuild in their image, cliche, cringe, nothing new.

This film won't break any records or win many awards if any ( probs should get a nomination for the visuals as some are amazing almost real ).

Fans will enjoy the nods to the previous entries of the franchise and it probs won't be the last cgi movie.

Direction, audio, music all pretty good and the cast knows what their doing.

Bottom line is if you're a fan of resident evil cgi movies this is more of the same in another iconic locale.

I have watched all the previous animated films that is at home since they were direct to video. This is the first film I have watched at the cinema. The previous movies were not at all as good as this one and it shows. They put a lot more care into the characters this time.

And the story is pretty decent for a resident evil movie. Much better than the forgettable Netflix series and the live action movie from a couple years ago.

Good voice acting, which is expected considering they are mostly the same from the resident evil remake games.

There were some cheesy one liners from leon which was nice, a few dumb jokes but enjoyable ones.

Pleasing action thats over the top that would be satisfying for any fan of the franchise.

And overall a decent ending to the movie.

It's not too long and is an enjoyable movie if you like the games.

Would definitely recommend seeing it.

I'm not too familiar with the Resident Evil game franchise, however I have seen all the movie adaptations and thought most of them are stupid fun. I was never a huge fan of animated stuff but since I rather enjoyed the animated movies from Resident Evil I thought this might be good. Also the title death Island sounded promising to me and with the movie taking place on Alcatraz, I thought you would be able to make something interesting from the setting. Well after seeing this I felt like we've seen it all before. The usual recipe for the animated Resident Evil franchise but with an even more massive fight at the end and an interesting new way to infect the people. Also the movie was definitely more action than horror. All in all it was just nothing new and had the same cool action scenes but also weaknesses, like our heroes surviving everything and didn't even get a scratch which made you not feel worried about them for a second. Another thing is, in the end fight there are conveniently placed weapons everywhere, which was not logical and only served the plot. I think for fans of the franchise this movie will not disappoint but also definitely is no masterpiece. [6,3/10]
