I'm not too familiar with the Resident Evil game franchise, however I have seen all the movie adaptations and thought most of them are stupid fun. I was never a huge fan of animated stuff but since I rather enjoyed the animated movies from Resident Evil I thought this might be good. Also the title death Island sounded promising to me and with the movie taking place on Alcatraz, I thought you would be able to make something interesting from the setting. Well after seeing this I felt like we've seen it all before. The usual recipe for the animated Resident Evil franchise but with an even more massive fight at the end and an interesting new way to infect the people. Also the movie was definitely more action than horror. All in all it was just nothing new and had the same cool action scenes but also weaknesses, like our heroes surviving everything and didn't even get a scratch which made you not feel worried about them for a second. Another thing is, in the end fight there are conveniently placed weapons everywhere, which was not logical and only served the plot. I think for fans of the franchise this movie will not disappoint but also definitely is no masterpiece. [6,3/10]
