Review of Resident Evil: Damnation (2012) by Victor C — 25 Sep 2012

(3 Stars) Geez, when did a movie based on a zombie video game become so political? I'll give Resident Evil: Damnation points for trying something new with the plot, but it's weird covering real world issues when there are a ton of ridiculous things about it... and yes, I've played the games and I know how ridiculous and contrived those are. I'm not sure when Leon became a dick, but I guess when you shoot a ton of infected people over and over, you'll probably be an angrier person too.

Damnation isn't a terrible movie though. There's a gory fight between two of the well known villains of the game that's extremely cool and will please fans. The action is pretty imaginative and there are some tense moments when it goes into a first-person perspective. Damnation isn't the best action/horror movie, but it's a pretty good Resident Evil movie.
