I didn’t think that there would ever be a worse Resident Evil movie than Resident Evil: Apocalypse, but those fuckers actually figured out a way to do it. The solution? Get rid of real actors and create a film using CGI, piss-poor voice acting, and a plot that’s drier than my cocktip in an old folk’s home. This cartoon is absolutely dreadful, and it’s almost as if they were going to make another Resident Evil game, figured out their story was dumb as shit, and decided to cobble all the lamefuck cut-scenes into a movie.
The story takes place sometime after the events at Raccoon City. A virus is unleashed in an airport and Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield (two characters from the video games) happen to be there. They begin to uncover a boring government cover-up involving a senator and a shady corporation, while fighting off attacks from their weird CGI hair and magically appearing zombies.
Resident Evil: Degeneration is easily the most boring and uninspired of the Resident Evil movies. I’m not sure I can even call it a sequel since it is in no way connected to the other films. Characters spend an inordinate amount of time standing around talking and explaining shit. There is entirely too much exposition in the film, which is made even worse by the voice-acting and the inability of the animators to sync up the actor’s voices with the freaky CGI lips of the characters on the screen.
You’d think a Resident Evil cartoon would be covered in gore and violence, but the film is surprisingly weak in the gore department. Tons of zombies are shot or killed, but there are only ever tiny sprays of the red stuff. None of the kills are that memorable, and when the Nemesis shows up at the end of the movie, it all goes to hell.
This piece of shit is bland, boring, and bloodless in a way that will make you rip out your hair. It’s a fucking pansy ass cartoon that would be more at home on the Cartoon Network than it would be in your DVD player. For Resident Evil fans, just pretend like this thing doesn’t exist.
Final Synopsis: An animated, garbage sequel to a franchise that is so hit or miss that it’s almost embarrassing. Skip it… unless you’re a douche… and in that case, Paris Hilton was looking for you. She’s dirty again.
Points Lost: -1 for being stupid, -1 for having a boring story, -1 for bad CGI, -1 for poor voice acting, -1 for un-synced lip movements, -1 for magic floating hair, -1 for a lack of violence, -1 for a stupid looking Nemesis, -1 for way too much talking
Lesson Learned: Straight to video animated sequels are always shitty.
Burning Question: Is anyone else tired of these movies throwing around the word “virus” every five seconds?
