Resident Evil: L'Île de la Mort

Characters are a bit stiff outside of the fluid fight scenes. The plot is another 'rando bad guy is angy somehow gets their hands on tech / scientist and decides to destroy the world to rebuild in their image, cliche, cringe, nothing new.

This film won't break any records or win many awards if any ( probs should get a nomination for the visuals as some are amazing almost real ).

Fans will enjoy the nods to the previous entries of the franchise and it probs won't be the last cgi movie.

Direction, audio, music all pretty good and the cast knows what their doing.

Bottom line is if you're a fan of resident evil cgi movies this is more of the same in another iconic locale.

While Infinite Darkness looked a bit dated, they dialed up path tracing to the max here.

It really looks good most of the time and styled like recent RE game remakes.

That's about it.

Although, you could say the "movie" is very efficient... short is maybe a better word for it. Action kicks off right away and it's dumb, so dumb.

Plot is on par with previous non-game entries, nothing really important to the overall plot. A side mission if you will, against some random evil doers. Zero horror, all the action. No stakes. Life saving chekhov's gun is mentioned 10 minutes into the movie and is used at appropriate time. No surprises.

It really is a placeholder, a franchise promo so you don't forget for five minues it exists.

Is the plot relevant? No. Is the action engaging? Somewhat. Are the characters immersive? No.

Listen, Resident Evil is here a long time and when you look at it, starting from the first game there is something Resident Evil almost every year since - so I'm not expecting someting mind blowing, given the way whole franchise jumped the shark multiple times during these almost 30 years. But, I'm still hoping to see one solid, good RE movie or at least above average animated feature. And it's just not coming.

Could you watch this? Sure. Should you watch this? Maybe, it's your time, do with it what you will but don't expect top tier horror animated action movie. It is schlock with dumb script and it looks good.

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]

When started to stream this movie, I didn't realize it is a full CGI creation. When I finished watching this movie I was surprised to see voice actors was involved, as I thought the dialogues were for sure done with AI artificial voices. They were so soulless during the movie that I almost turned it off at some point. What kept me going was a great action scenes, slow-motion and nice monsters.

To be honest, watching this movie is like watching a series of a game cut-scenes. Granted these cut-scenes are very well made, it still at a level of a gaming studio and not a movie production. This made it very hard for me to rate it anything over a '5'.

I couldn't help but thinking how good this movie could have been if the actors were actually real human (like the legendary Milla Jovovich) that are able to provoke emotions with language that sound human and body movements that are not robotic as the result of the 3D models that are used here. That totally ruined a reasonably good story and great fighting scenes, but that movie would prob cost north of 200M to make.

I will keep watching the "Resident Evil" franchise since most of the creations are exciting. I heard Netflix series is coming soon, maybe that is something to look forward to, hopefully at the level of "The Last of Us" but "Resident Evil: Death Island" does not provide the entertainment that the viewers deserve.

Exact score: 49 / 100. Guide: No Sex, No nudity, very few curse words, lots of shooting, I would rate "PG-13" and not "R"

I have watched all the previous animated films that is at home since they were direct to video. This is the first film I have watched at the cinema. The previous movies were not at all as good as this one and it shows. They put a lot more care into the characters this time.

And the story is pretty decent for a resident evil movie. Much better than the forgettable Netflix series and the live action movie from a couple years ago.

Good voice acting, which is expected considering they are mostly the same from the resident evil remake games.

There were some cheesy one liners from leon which was nice, a few dumb jokes but enjoyable ones.

Pleasing action thats over the top that would be satisfying for any fan of the franchise.

And overall a decent ending to the movie.

It's not too long and is an enjoyable movie if you like the games.

Would definitely recommend seeing it.
