Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness

In Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness (2021), Leon is sent on a risky mission to find out who attacked the White House. Claire is conducting her own private investigation too. And zombies, of course.

This series feels like a film split into 4 short episodes. Everything happens too fast and the plot is straightforward.

CGI is as expected.

I recommend it to fans of the RE series and zombie-movie fans in general.

First, it's way to short.

Second, sometimes the story seems to become interesting just too let you dissapointed few minutes later.

Third, the animation seems to come out of a PS3 - Xbox 360 game. I mean, any cut scenes inside Resident Evil 2 Remake, which are made inside the game engine, is way more appealing than any scenes on Infinite Darkness.

This was suppose to be a series inspire by Resident Evil early games, not a single moment feels like it.

There is a lot a work to to do in the second season to improve all of it.

Individual scenes weren't too bad, the overarching plot and premise are okay, and CGI was quite good. But when sequenced together, it was very hard to watch. There was no setup, no development, no climax... everything was flat. Even as a RE fans who finished multiple games and know a few things about character and plot, it was impossible to care about characters and what's going on. And the plot just went on and on and on without inciting any emotion when watching it. Even in one of the big conspiracy revelation, it felt like "uh, okay" at best. It's a huge missed opportunity because again, individual scenes and overall premise wasn't bad. It just poorly presented as a whole.

A massive disappointment and a total bore. Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness feels cheap and ultimately unsatisfying as being a waste of time. Any monster action that happens in these episodes is very little and Leon pretty much hogs all the spotlight once again. What about poor Claire? She pretty much does nothing for almost all of it except spill out conspiracy crap. If only the story was actually interesting and had good dialogue and writing. Well got some bad news for you it's probably worse than the latest Resident Evil games. Heck, I'd pick any of the previous CGI Animated Films over this without a shadow of a doubt. At least they had some action sequences instead of this being a total snooze-fest. The finale was basically just Degeneration again. Leon and Claire only see each other for like 10 minutes and are dull as dishwater. Just awful and honestly the only things that I thought were mildly interesting in this were the zombie rats and references to the old games.

2/10.

Great graphics and animations but when I thought I started to understand the storyline it was over. I've been waiting awhile for this one and expected much more. (yeah I have played all the resident evil games)
