Resident Evil: Death Island

Over-the-top action, cheesy dialogue, and all your favorite characters from the series. This movie is by no means a masterpiece, however, if you're a fan of the series who's able to suspend your belief and manage your expectations, you might find this movie fun to watch, especially if you enjoyed the previous Resident Evil CGI movies.

What I loved about the movie is its dedication to the series and detail-oriented approach in terms of characters and their personalities, for example, Leon has his usual corny (yet adorable) one-liners, while Jill (modeled after her RE 3 Remake appearance) was passionate, emotional, and at the same time, trying to look as serious as she can.

Go see it if you're a fan, if not, don't, there's isn't much to see here.

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.

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]

I watched this movie with my friends and we all had a blast. Don't expect it to have a unique or well-written plot. After all, it's a Resident Evil CG movie. However, for fans of the characters, watching all of them interact in this movie is a treat to those who have been waiting since the original trilogy. Additionally, Jill's return into the chronological timeline since 2009 is exciting.

The main villain and his henchmen are very one-dimensional and flat, but that is to be expected. The villain has a tragic backstory that isn't even worth getting invested in. His motivations are incomprehensible. That didn't stop me from finding the movie fun, though.

Ah, resident evil!

From low-tech horror to sci-fi garbage. It sure is fun to see Chris repeatedly punch a giant boulder, or fight against the law-defiant Wesker in the video games! But it's no secret the franchise has nowhere to go and can only keep chasing its tail with a variation of the same premise! The initial Raccoon incident and exploration of the source of the problem were interesting and different at the time.. Now I'm honestly REALLY tired of these churned out products that amount to nothing!! At least it finally seems like they are connecting the stories somewhat, with reference to events from Vendetta, RE6 and previous game entries. Death Island continues to give a simplistically boring premise, and a continuation of pointless B Stories where the good guys stop a disposable villain that hates the world and makes a new iteration of the "virus".. while ultimately being nothing but a nuisance for a while. Lows takes, repeated stakes!

But worse of all is how insulting it ends up being to me as a viewer. For example : 1. The dialogue being atrocious! And it's very strange to see Jill Valentine groan at Leon's one liners and even insults Chris' heavy handedness. I wonder what the point of that was.. 2. The introduction of a foot soldier becoming a trafficking tech-villain capable of creating a new virus that doesn't spread and turns people rather quickly.. except when it doesn't. There's no tension, and repercussions are easily fixed.

3. It was nice to see Maria Gomez again, the powerful killing machine that can't kill anyone. Very representative of the whole thing.

4. An "Avengers moment" with all the known cast in service of nothing, being rather lame to witness.

5. Contrived confrontation with final threat with a convenient Armory around (Plasma Rifle included).

Sure, these continue to be visually impressive (from the models, the movement and the choreographies).. but the line "Looks like us suckers win. Again" being followed by "And they'll keep coming back for more!" was rather depressing. To top it all with "But we sure did kick some ass, didn't we?" was enough to feel like being bullied and kicked in the balls for liking Resident Evil!!

But I'm definitely sure that countries like Svetlana's wagging BOW wars against one another for power.. and for characters to become super powered beings while slugging it out wouldn't be any better. Whoever is in charge of these better change his perspective instead of being considered a joke.
