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"
