~This is my first Review~

This more like a fan service to Resident Evil fans than standalone movie. If you played previous RE games you will notice a lot of scenes copied from games. Story is poor written, characters are very cartoonish and uninteresting. Its like 99 percent of Leon being cool, Ada being bitch and monsters all around. Action scenes are great and sound effects are good. If you are Resident Evil fan and looking for mindless fun, this one is for you.

I've watched this movie straight after Degeneration (I gave that a 5, by the way) and there's a lot of differences between these films. Also, the version I watched is the original japanese one.


Animation:
1) the visuals look a lot better compared to the prequel but then again that's to be expected since they're 4 years apart.
2) there's actual horror and a tense atmosphere that doesn't exist at all in the prequel. Although it's only in the 1st part of the film, it did make me feel that I was watching a Resident Evil movie.
3) there's a few recycled scenes that are ... easily noticeable and that broke the immersion for me.
4) this will sound like a joke but I'm serious about this: Leon's butt looks so weird in this film.


Sound:
1) I really liked the seiyuus performance
2) I think the overal sound design fit the animation and story events
3) although I watched the japanese version, I had access to the english dub lines and I can tell you that the japanese version has no sexist or cringe remarks from any character.


Story and characters:
1) This movie starts off with an explanation of the political situation that's happening where the story takes place. This is a sequence of images and narrration that aren't exactly exciting and when it ends, obviously you are expecting the story to begin. It does begin but it keeps getting interrupted by these obnoxious screens giving credit to producers, actors, etc. and it really pissed me off. Every movie likes to do a short credits introduction quickly after it starts but the way it was done on this film is really infuriating.
2) JD was a terrible annoying character and his story is as predictable as it gets
3) SPOILER: Ada Wong's presence on this movie felt more like an Easter Egg rather than an actual role. I mean, her action scene with the President was phenomenal but I think it would've been better if she had a more active role in the plot.
4) I need to explain something here: I was ready to give this movie an 8 out of 10 but as you can see by now, that's clearly not what happened. So what went wrong? What went wrong was the entire ending section of the movie. SPOILERS: Buddy is struggling with the virus and is one jump away from the safety of a ladder. Between jumping to Leon's hand or the ladder, it was way easier to land on the ladder but I guess it's not a "murican" film unless you get some anti-hero bromance between the alpha males. A few scenes later, they're outside and are being chased by one Tyrant. At some point, we see Leon reloading his Machine Gun and he fires 6 shots (I counted them) against this flammable tank in order to defeat the Tyrant. As a result, the Tyrant "evolves" into a naked warmachine. Shortly after, the Tyrant deflects a rocket and Leon almost gets hit with it. Although Leon gets caught up by the explosion, a quick roll makes him look like it was just a bit of wind when he should've been launched meters away. This is the moment where the Tyrant punches Leon in the air, grabs him mid-air and throws him at a building. The way that this scene was animated makes it impossible for Leon (or any other human) to survive that impact. The very first time after this that Leon gets a chance to fire his machine gun against the Tyrant... he's out of bullets. Yes, this man reloads a full machine gun magazine and after 6 shots fired, it's empty. Eventually Buddy and Leon manage to defeat the Tyrant with a tank and the President sends two more "evolved" Tyrants after them. Because Buddy is struggling with the virus and Leon has no ammo (and for an unexplained reason the tank is not in firing condition), Leon decides to carry him while these two Tyrants are literally running their grey asses off after them. There's a visual that makes it clear that the two Tyrants are (obviously) catching up to them very quickly. Then we get to watch a scene with the President and then we're back to Leon and Buddy. The two Tyrants aren't running anymore but rather slowly walking towards them from two complete different directions (which wasn't the case in the previous scene) and as the "death of Leon" is about to occur... an airplane just shoots and absolutely destroys both Tyrants , Leon recognizes that the airplanes are from his secret service buddies that have been following him all along. So, you're telling me that the secret services have been watching Leon almost die several times against the first Tyrant but they didn't do anything until the two Tyrants caught up to him? Also, the projectiles fired by the airplane would've caused a massive explosion and so Leon should've been caught in it but yet, there's this massive plot armor that keeps breaking immersion. Also, remember how Buddy is infected by a virus? The smart choice would be to put him out of his misery and he himself asks Leon to kill him. Leon decides do ignore him and Buddy gets his pistol out and aims at his chin. This is when Leon snaps like an idiot and gives out a speech stating that the moment you grab a gun is the moment that you forfeit any right to taking your own life, even if you find yourself in a situation where you're physically paralized. This phrase is stupid no matter who says it BUT THE FACT THAT LEON, THE MAN WHO IS AN EXPERT AT THESE TYPES OF VIRUSES AND SPENDS EVERY MOVIE SAYING "SHOOT THEM IN THE HEAD, THEY'RE NOT HUMAN, BLA BLA BLA" is the one that ends up shooting Buddy in such a way THAT CAUSES BUDDY TO LIVE IN A WHEELCHAIR FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE WITH THE VIRUS INSIDE HIM. I'm so angry. I'm sure you can tell by how much I typed.


Whether you read or not the last spoiler I wrote about, the reason why I give this movie such a low score of 3/10 is because the ending just completely destroyed what it was being an awesome Resident Evil experience for me.
