Impromptu Review Resident Evil Degeneration

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

resident20evil_degeneration_title5b15d

Haven’t watch any anime so far this week. Closest thing to anime I have watched was Resident Evil Degeneration. Anyways, after watching this film my overall opinion is it’s forgettable if you’re not a fan of the game series. Personally I’ve only played the first 3 games in the series, so at best I was mildly interested. That being said, I will say I found the story to be good, and fitting considering this is based on the games. However I did find the overall quality of the film leaving something to be desired. Perhaps I am biased having seen Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children, and also recently saw Appleseed Ex Machina, I guess I could say my expectations for an action oriented CG film might be demanding. The overall quality seemed inconsistent. At somepoints the characters looked great, and other times they didn’t look any better then they might have in an in game Cg cut scene. The voice acting was passable, but after playing the first Resident Evil, I wonder if I should keep the bar for voice acting quality low. Perhaps the voice over work improved in recent games, but that would require me to actually play the games to make any judgement on that. Overall, if you’re one of those people who don’t take your fandom, or entertainment too seriously Resident Evil Degeneration is entertaining enough to be worth renting at best.
