Resident Evil: Vendetta

Action: 9/10, best action CGI movie compare to previous two CGI movies (Degeneration & Damnation), looks like John Wick rip-off movie with a combination of zombies (in a good way)

Storyline: 5/10, predictable story, lack of emotion compare to RE: Damnation, have a cliffhanger at the end

Overall: 8/10, Great, way better than live action movie, recommended for Resident Evil (video games) fans

Hi guys, back with me again, I'll divide this movie from this 3 scores: Story (no story, no movie), Graphics (more reality, more we can feel the movie itself) and additional genres assessment which the purpose of the movie (such as Action, Fantasy, Adventure, etc.). Hopefully, by scoring to those criteria, readers can be interested to watch the movie. And of course this assessment is subjective (but i'll try to be objective as much as possible)

Resident Evil: Vendetta Disclaimer #1: I am a fan of Resident Evil, both game and animation series, and the movie series Disclaimer #2: This is an animation spin-off movie; don't expect the same result as a real-life movie. Want to enjoy the movie more? Play the games.

Story: 6/10 Yeah, it is a spin-off, has no deep of the story. But for a Resident Evil fans, they will watch it just to link every stories Resident Evil was made. But, what I like from Resident Evil developers, they always show new kind of viruses which create new result of the infected. And then there's Rebecca Chambers XDD, so long this character didn't show up.

Graphics: 7.5/10 (Animation) I give my assessment as an animation movie. For it, RE: Vendetta gives great graphics of animation which can be enjoyed in entire of this movie.

Additional Genres: Action: 8/10 (Animation) As I disclaim previously, nothing in this animation movie is real- life, so every impossibilities could be denied in the assessment. As an animation movie, RE; Vendetta gives a lot of action scenes which every of them success to make my eyes didn't blink. It was also helped by great viewpoint taken and slow motion.

Thriller: 6.5/10 Trap in the room filled by zombies and facing B.O.W. (Bio-Organic Weapon) while your friend is dying are success to make my heart rate increased. Zombies, as one of the best component in every thriller movie, are inserted well in this movie.

Overall: 7 To promote its game through the movie, RE; Vendetta did a great job.

First of all, I must say that I had such high hopes and expectations for "Resident Evil: Vendetta", especially since I really enjoyed the previous animated movies.

However, they opted to pull the same approach as they did in the actual movies, making it more about mutations and grotesquely huge aberrations, more than it was about zombies and terror. And of course, it has the obligatory rogue agent gone bad.

The storyline in "Resident Evil: Vendetta" was simplistic to the point where it was trivial and mundane. You saw everything coming a mile away, and there were no surprises or plot twists along the way. So it felt like you were strapped in for a ride that just went straight ahead with no ups and downs.

Now, I must admit that I am more than impressed with the quality of the CGI and the sheer level of details they manage to put into the CGI here. I mean, the textures and the minute details to everything was just spectacular. Just as it has been since the very first animated "Resident Evil" movie.

The characters in "Resident Evil: Vendetta" seemed a bit generic. Sure it was nice to have Leon and Chris in this particular animated movie, but they weren't subject to any real character development or growth, so it felt a bit tame, to say the least. And it was a bit too over the top with the way that both Leon and Chris could take on a large group of zombies and not even get scratched or come close to being in danger, and the motorcycle scene was just too far out there.

As for the zombies, well they were there, but unfortunately it wasn't the primary cause of attention in the movie. And I really don't get the thing with the hulking brutes that they like in the series - be it game or movie franchise. They are so out of place that it is an eyesore and an embarrassment to witness. And the hulking brute with the iron mask in "Resident Evil: Vendetta" was not particularly impressive, and when he evolved into something even bigger, I must admit that I was on the brink of just getting up and leaving.

"Resident Evil: Vendetta" is not an impressive animated movie in terms of story, characters or in comparison to its predecessors. Sure, it was a visual tour de force and a spectacle to behold. But I was left with a very shallow feeling once the movie ended, and actually said "was that really it?" This is definitely a movie for the hardcore fans of the "Resident Evil" game line.

I went into this movie expecting the standard Resident Evil zombie/body-horror experience, knowing full well there would be some corny voice acting and 80's action movie cliches. And honestly, that's exactly what I got. This movie would have been a 5/10 (passable) for me if it wasn't for how profoundly ridiculous it gets at certain parts. Within the first 20 minutes of this film I saw two separate characters scream dramatically into the sky while the camera pulled away. Awe-inspiring.

This movie truly commits to the cheesy action genre it was inspired by, and it's hilarious to watch. While it was probably not the director's intent, I'd much rather scream "WHAT" at the screen than be bored. And trust me, you will be screaming "WHAT". 6/10

Chris Redfield and his team are sent to rescue an asset. They find only zombies and nemesis Arias. Meanwhile, scientist Rebecca Chambers is working on a vaccine when she is attacked by zombies. Arias plans to launch the virus by gas tanker trucks in New York City.

The characters are standard but I do like them. The story is a bit jagged. It's the third in the animated series and would serve well with a "previous on" section. The evil plan is a little cartoonish. I'm always struck by how the big bad gets all of his minions to end the world. One hopes that people would stop working for Death Inc after witnessing what they witness or become whistleblowers. That's besides the point. The bigger point is the animation. They may have worked out the hair but the eyes still give it away. There is a lifelessness about them. It's not Polar Express but the eyes look a bit sleepy. They are still not living, breathing performances.
