![]() ![]() Both are martial arts and weapons masters who can run into a horde of undead zombies and beat them without breaking a sweat. Also not sure how the man managed to become a ginormous monster but hey its Resident Evil.īoth Leon and Redfield are invincible soldiers who simply cannot be beat. Not sure why the female has decided to dress in a skintight catsuit though. Sure these two characters look really cool but come on.cliched much? We do actually find out these two were at Arias's wedding when it was hit, so I guess that's why they are now both ùber villains. His other sidekick is a massive Bane-like character with a metal mask and metal gear bolted onto his body. But what was his plan with her? Did he fancy her? Did he wanna use her as bait? A guinea pig for his new virus? Its also just a bit too ridiculous that one of his sidekicks just happens to be an ultra sexy female, in a shiny black skintight catsuit. OK an unnamed government killed all his family and wife-to-be, but why not just kill that government body? Why kill everybody in New York? He also kidnaps Chambers at one point because she looks like his dead wife. Arias doesn't really have much clout if you ask me. ![]() But the one thing I didn't get was if the virus needs to be triggered, why do people just turn into zombies straight away when they come into contact with the virus? I think the newer virus Arias creates bypasses the trigger part but I'm not entirely sure.īut its not just the plot that is weak, the character are poor too. This all happens pretty quickly which just seemed stupid. Chambers manages to whip up a vaccine against the virus which works, so then Arias just formulates another virus to beat that vaccine, whilst creating his own vaccine. The new A-virus lies dormant within the host until triggered, but what was the trigger? It was also mentioned that the triggering can happen by accident, how? This new virus can also be transmitted by air and water so surely that would make it almost impossible to contain. In all fairness this film does stand on its own well enough to get around those issues.īut alas there are more issues. But no I do not believe this is a direct sequel to the previous animated movies. All the films have Leon as the main protagonist so I'm gonna assume each one is simply a chapter in Leon's long running battle against zombies and whatnot. Is there any connection? Is this an actual sequence or what? Well truth be told I don't know because its been so long since I saw those films I can't recall. That was the first major issue, the next major issue was the connection to the previous animated movies ('Resident Evil: Damnation' and 'Regeneration'). So if you don't play the games (which I don't) then you may have a problem knowing all the ins and outs. The real problems arise in the fact that this plot is supposedly set in between the events of Resident Evil 6 and 7. The story is an unoriginal one but that is hardly much of a surprise. ![]() Kennedy and Rebecca Chambers to save the day (but no one else it seems). His revenge comes in the form of wanting to turn everyone into zombies through a new virus that lies dormant within its host until triggered. Unfortunately the bomb they dropped on his wedding (kinda ruthless) killed everyone but Arias, and now he wants revenge. The story for this umpteenth incarnation in the franchise revolves around Glenn Arias, a shady arms dealer who was targeted by an unnamed government for termination. If you were looking for a more classic, slow creeping, suspenseful horror feature set in a big mansion, look elsewhere I'm afraid. After this its essentially back to business with the rest of the film, and by that I mean lots of hi-tech locations and explosive action. Other than that its all a waste of time and obviously in there to lure in the fanboys with promise of some classic Resident Evil action. We get to see the new villain and his sidekicks, and we get a small idea of his dastardly plans. This whole brief intro is basically the original Resident Evil game but with one problem, its completely unnecessary. Their targets are the films new villain, Glenn Arias and the hostages he has taken. Indeed the films opening sequence involves a team of BSAA agents (with Chris Redfield) storming a dilapidated mansion in Mexico. Both the films poster and introductory sequence are clearly harking back to the very first game with the large scary mansion in the woods angle. It was in fact the tone of the film that would be rebooted, and that is clear to see. So apparently Capcom said this animated feature would be a reboot of the animated series, but then it turned out to be a sequel. ![]()
