Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness

But very short and shallow.

Resident Evil needs a new screenwriter.

This was ok. If you've seen other Resident Evil animated movies, this won't surprise you. This is basically all it is; a RE movie cut up into 4 chunks. If you're truly going to do a RE series, it has to be longer than 4 episodes. 6 at the very minimum.

It still is impressive CGI and I'm sure it probably is very cost consuming. My hope is that enough people will watch that they green light more episodes because there is a lot of story to tell in this universe if done properly.

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.

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.

It's always a joy to see Leon and Claire together. The best stories are when these two are together. So it's no surprise that this is a good watch for RE fans. But the disappointment is that it's more focused on story and has forgotten to be more scary or to include cool action. This is where stories like castlevania scored which was perfectly balanced between story and action. But I am hopeful that if this season works that they will expand the story in future seasons with more episodes so not to rush the story at the expense of building suspense, horror and mix of action.
