Review of Resident Evil: Degeneration (2008) by Colin H — 01 Jul 2009
How funny it is to say "This is probably the best Resident Evil film I've seen yet". Uhm... because this is hard?
It is also funny that this film is entirely motion captured CGI (and amusing people starting to watch it expecting stupid Milla Jovovich running around in tights again) and it works better than its live-action counterparts.
Sure... the lip syncing is quite terrible and takes a bit of ignoring (best to do something else while watching) and the CG itself isn't amazing, but it sure feels like Resident Evil! For once!
We have characters from Resident Evil! We even have T and G-Viruses, we have sneaking around dark places with torches, we have luscious environments doomed to-be-destroyed-into-final-boss-arenas and an awesome monster at the end!
I know that all sounds pretty standard... but believe it or not... the live-action Resi films barely had any of these things!
Good stuff for fans! Non-fans maybe turned off by the CG quality, but it is a neat little zombie flick anyway.
