Resident Evil: Degeneration, the first fully CGI animated feature in the dystopian horror series, presents fans of the game and its subsequent movies with all the things they crave the most: loads of gunplay orchestrated by an attractive heroine, a labyrinthine plot honeycombed with conspiracy theories and government double-dealings, and most importantly, an army of plague victims hungering for human flesh. The CGI animation certainly allows for richer, bloodier and more explosive scenarios than in the live-action features, and if the story itself--RE heroes Clare Redfield and Leon S. Kennedy must fight their way from a zombie-infested airport to the pharmaceutical company that hides a key to the virus, as well as a monstrous new enemy--is so densely plotted as to warrant multiple rewinds, the picture knows it can be simply enjoyed as a player-free version of the game that inspired it. Vocal talent is probably Degeneration's weakest link (the already purple dialogue sounds extra cringe worthy in the mouths of the cast (which includes several voice actors from the games)) with a subplot involving Leon and fellow agent Angela Miller running a close second. However, neither is so detrimental to fans' enjoyment that it might prevent them from checking out the latest--and, it should be noted, not the final--chapter in Resident Evil's complex and gruesome mythology. --Paul Gaita

If only there was a game to go with the movie January 6, 2009
As fun as the Live action Resident Evil movies were, this movie is the real Resident Evil. In many ways this movie is like one big cut scene from a video game, but it does capture the theme of game series perfectly.

My only complaint is that I really want to play this movie as a video game!

Zombies in an Airport or Trapped in a Building That is Going To Explode January 6, 2009
The Resident Evil video game series has been around for about fifteen years. The series has spawned off several offshoots and entered other mediums, including novels, movies, and comic books. Two of the most popular characters in the series are the heroes of RESIDENT EVIL 2: Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield (sister of RESIDENT EVIL and the upcoming RESIDENT EVIL 5 game, Chris Redfield). Leon is perhaps the most popular of all the characters in the Resident Evil series (so much so that he was the hero of RESIDENT EVIL 4) but he and Claire are both back and are reunited in RESIDENT EVIL: DEGENERATION, a computer-animated movie that ties together events from the previous Resident Evil games to the upcoming RESIDENT EVIL 5.

RESIDENT EVIL: DEGENERATION takes place seven years after the horror and destruction of Raccoon City. It's also been about a year since the events of RESIDENT EVIL 4. The Umbrella Corporation, responsible for creating the deadly T-virus that brought about the destruction of Raccoon City, has fallen apart as a corporation and no longer exists. A new organization, WilPharma, has risen from the ashes of Umbrella's demise and many are fearful that the research of WilPharma will bring about another Raccoon City-type disaster. Claire Redfield has joined Terra-Save, an organization that is attempting to stop such research. While at the Harvardville airport meeting some friends who have arrived from India, a man infected by the T-virus begins attacking people and soon after a plane full of infected people crashes into the airport. Claire becomes trapped in the airport with a young Indian girl and a U.S. Senator who is a major stock-broker of WilPharma. Later a small rescue team led by special agent Leon S. Kennedy enters the airport to rescue the survivors before the airport is cleansed. After the harrowing escape, Claire tags along with Frederic Downing, a researcher at WilPharma responsible for creating a vaccine for the T-virus, to his office while Leon travels with Marine Angela Miller to hunt down Angela's brother Curtis, a known terrorist.

Hollywood has made three live-action Resident Evil movies so far, but other than the T-Virus and some cameos by characters from the games, the movies have not much resembled the games. RESIDENT EVIL: DEGENERATION is a movie made specifically for those familiar with the video game series. It is the type of movie that should have been made originally. There are several little moments thrown out that seem entertaining in themselves, but mean more if you are familiar with the universe from the Resident Evil games. However, even if you've never played a Resident Evil game, RE: DEGENERATION is a movie that you can enjoy. The animation is amazing; there are times when the characters are completely lifelike. The plot if filled with action and has all kinds of twists and turns, some expected and a few completely unexpected, and the storyline is easy to follow. There is some cheesy dialogue here and there, but that happens in most action pictures.

I can see that there might be some who will not like this movie or might even blast it because it doesn't have anything to do with Alice, the character Milla Jovovich portrayed in the live-action Resident Evil movies. Those movies are basically tied to the real Resident Evil universe in name-only. Unless something drastic happens, Alice really doesn't exist in the real Resident Evil universe. So, if you're only familiar with the Resident Evil movie, just know ahead of time that this is a different world than the one Hollywood has promoted and give RESIDENT EVIL: DEGENERATION a chance. It's an entertaining enough movie that you should probably enjoy it.

Highly recommended for fans of the Resident Evil games. People who aren't fans of the games will probably enjoy it, too.

The DVD includes several extras including character profiles, the "Generation of DEGENERATION" making-of featurette, voice bloopers, a faux Leon interview that really makes no sense (I think this is a joke for the filmmakers), trailers for RESIDENT EVIL: DEGENERATION, trailers for the upcoming RESIDENT EVIL 5, and trailers for other movies. I most enjoyed the trailers for RESIDENT EVIL 5--that game looks spectacular.

Exceptionally Disappointing January 6, 2009
0 out of 2 found this review helpful

Didn't the producers of this DVD ever see the Final Fantasy movie? Hair never moves in this until the very last scene. Leon's hair also doesn't move until then, but for the majority of this picture his hair is like a helmet.

Nothing new here. The DVD just looks like an animation of a Resident Evil game, right down to a big Boss Battle that never seems to end.

All in all, with its flat and lifeless animation coupled with a weak story, this is a VERY disappointing effort.

We want Jill Valentine! ( The live version ).

What the? January 6, 2009
Overall, boring, very boring. Way too much dialouge. I got confused as to what was really going on in the plot. The animation was sub-par and it's more fun watching a cinema scene on playstation 2. I am a resident evil fan, but this just didn't do it for me. :(

Worth adding to the RE collection January 5, 2009
This movie is obviously dedicated to the gamers and somewhat of a set up for RE 5. I think fans of the movies would enjoy this although they wouldn't be familiar with the lead characters. Sure there are mistakes- unlimited ammo, lip sync seemed off. I ignored these and just allowed myself to watch and enjoy the movie. The plot was more interesting than I thought it would be- the gray area of whether a person or corperation is doing evil or good, for example. To the gamers I would say to buy this movie if you are a true fan of RE mythos. To the nongamers I would say to watch this as it may shed some light on some things that the movies didn't cover. Enjoy!
