Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness

A massive disappointment and a total bore. Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness feels cheap and ultimately unsatisfying as being a waste of time. Any monster action that happens in these episodes is very little and Leon pretty much hogs all the spotlight once again. What about poor Claire? She pretty much does nothing for almost all of it except spill out conspiracy crap. If only the story was actually interesting and had good dialogue and writing. Well got some bad news for you it's probably worse than the latest Resident Evil games. Heck, I'd pick any of the previous CGI Animated Films over this without a shadow of a doubt. At least they had some action sequences instead of this being a total snooze-fest. The finale was basically just Degeneration again. Leon and Claire only see each other for like 10 minutes and are dull as dishwater. Just awful and honestly the only things that I thought were mildly interesting in this were the zombie rats and references to the old games.

2/10.

In Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness (2021), Leon is sent on a risky mission to find out who attacked the White House. Claire is conducting her own private investigation too. And zombies, of course.

This series feels like a film split into 4 short episodes. Everything happens too fast and the plot is straightforward.

CGI is as expected.

I recommend it to fans of the RE series and zombie-movie fans in general.

Great graphics and animations but when I thought I started to understand the storyline it was over. I've been waiting awhile for this one and expected much more. (yeah I have played all the resident evil games)

This was ok. If you've seen other Resident Evil animated movies, this won't surprise you. This is basically all it is; a RE movie cut up into 4 chunks. If you're truly going to do a RE series, it has to be longer than 4 episodes. 6 at the very minimum.

It still is impressive CGI and I'm sure it probably is very cost consuming. My hope is that enough people will watch that they green light more episodes because there is a lot of story to tell in this universe if done properly.

Individual scenes weren't too bad, the overarching plot and premise are okay, and CGI was quite good. But when sequenced together, it was very hard to watch. There was no setup, no development, no climax... everything was flat. Even as a RE fans who finished multiple games and know a few things about character and plot, it was impossible to care about characters and what's going on. And the plot just went on and on and on without inciting any emotion when watching it. Even in one of the big conspiracy revelation, it felt like "uh, okay" at best. It's a huge missed opportunity because again, individual scenes and overall premise wasn't bad. It just poorly presented as a whole.
