Chris Redfield (Kevin Dorman's voice) of the BSAA enlists the help of government agent Leon S. Kennedy (Matthew Mercer's voice) and Professor Rebecca Chambers (Erin Cahill) of the Alexander Institute of Biotechnology to stop a vengeful death merchant threatening to spread a deadly virus across New York. All of them must unite to save America from a threat as dire as The Umbrella Corporation: a virus that can be triggered by simply being inhaled. And all of them use an entire arsenal of new and old but familiar weapons. They are the human race's last and only hope.
Spectacular, unstoppable and thrilling installment of the ¨Resident Evil series¨, adapted from the video games characters produced by Hiroyuki Kobayashi. Resident Evil movie to be in CGs (computer graphics), and also based directly off the games, and not an original script like the live-action movies were. It's a film for hardcore fans, it was great fun to be reunited with characters one played in the games. Most of the roles come from the video game series and are voiced by the same actors. The picture contains nonstop action, violent combats and spectacular images by means of computer generator. Much to its defense this production stayed more true to the atmosphere in the games that recent flicks, something every Resident Evil fan will recognize. As for those of you not familiar with the games I won't vouch for the movie, but you may have an agreeable time watching it anyway. Being a non-stop action gore-feast that provides for high-octane escapist entertainment with some eye-catching visuals and pulsing soundtrack. This exciting picture contains thrills, chills , action-filled with fierce fights against zombies and lots of gore and guts. The horror and action moments are fast moving and compactly realized. This outing takes more action, more approach , more violence and gore than previous and subsequent installments. The creepy images of wide range from the genuinely fantastic to the bizarre along with scary and amazing frames. It's predictable but we have seen some scenes in former films , but also its predictability is redeemed in part by the breathtaking action scenes. The CG animation looks slick enough, the camera angles are nicely directed, but the characters (and especially the movements and facial features of the protagonists) come across as fairly wooden and far from realistic. I remember being more impressed with the first Final fantasy (The spirits within) film when it came out.
This ¨Resident Evil¨ movie is created by its video game creator, Capcom. The live-action movies were created by Screen Gems and Sony Pictures. This is the first Resident Evil game-canon title to take place in real world city, like New York City. This is the third Resident Evil CGI film to feature Leon S. Kennedy as a main protagonist, while this is Chris Redfield's first. Leon first starred in Resident Evil: Degeneration (2008) along with Chris' sister Claire, and also in Resident evil: Damnation (2012) along with Ada Wong. This is also Rebecca Chambers' first CGI movie appearance. This film is more for fans of the game series, not really intended for those who loved the movies. The cinematic adaptations about ¨Resident Evil¨ in live-action are the following (Milla Jovovich is the only actor to appear in all five films): ¨Resident evil¨ by Paul W Anderson with Milla , Eric Mabius , Michelle Rodriguez , James Purefoy , Colin Salmon ; this is the best , dealing with a group of containment specialists are sent in and have to fight employees who have been contaminated , while A.

And Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021) Director: Johannes Roberts with Kaya Scodelario, Robbie Amell, Donald Logue. Rating Resident Evil: Vendetta (2017) : 6/10. From someone who is not familiar with the games maybe skip it.
