Since this is an animated movie the first thing to look at are the graphics. While environments, weapons, lighting etc. Are decent, the character animation is bland and the motion capure absolutely horrible. The action and physics are Fast & Furious level bad, the dialogues and interactions are cringe and the "bad guy" is just bad ... not in the sense of evil, he just has terrible dialogue, incomprehensible actions and motivations and says dumb stuff to establish "how evil" he is. To me this looked like someone recreated some RE fqn-fiction in The SIms !!!
Only 30 minutes in and all I wanted to do is to switch it off and do something else, more relevant, like for example watching paint dry for another hour.
Same as everything over these last few years, anime too has gone down the hill with bland scenarios, bland strory-telling and bland characters who CONSTANTLY have to expose their feelings (because for the "modern audience" this seems to be the only thing of importance). My last enjoyable anime experience after a long time full of nothing-burgers was W40K-Angels of Death and since then again NOTHING.
Resident Evil has in my opinion outlived its expiration date and we all need to be vaccinated not against the T-virus, but against remakes, reboots, rehashes, cash-grabs and particularly against bad RE movies, TV shows and anime. Anderson's first movie was a nice surprise and made Zombie movies popular again, opening the way for movies and shows like TWD, WW-Z etc. .... and his movie already was only so-so (at least Marylin Mansion's OST was superbe).
This here is another stinker, better sit it out.
