Continuing with our #ResidentEvil movie coverage, we have made it to the second release the series has seen. Will it dethrone RE Degeneration? Will it be the perfect cinematic representation of #SurvivalHorror? Let's find out 
Игры
1st rule of RE playbook. When in doubt, pull out the Leon/Ada ship.
2nd rule. The Leon/Ada ship must not have a full closure.
LOL!!!!
er go, its a waste of time
I liked the animated RE movies they may not be perfect but were still a good watch.
Except for Vendetta, that one was mediocre, but Degeneration and Damnation are great.
Same here. They are always better then you expect them to be and the people that make them are obviously trying to be good. Unlike Andersons shit that is just RE in name.
I wish we could get drawn films of RE 1,2, and 3 but that’s never gonna happen.
Yeah, as much as i do appreciate the fact that (with 7 and the RE:makes) the games have really gone back to a more horror type of vibe with more restrained combat, but i still have a place in my heart for more ridiculous and kinda stupid/cheesy action movie-type RE stuff like 6 and these movies. Maybe RE should go the route of Yakuza, having a split. Like the Yakuza series will go on using that turn based style that was introduced in the latest one, and then the Judgment series will continue with that classic beat-em up style Yakuza gameplay. RE could have titles where you play as new characters like Ethan who are untrained and it could be like 7 or the RE:makes. No roundhouse kicking melee shit, no insane set pieces and gun-fu, etc. then they could have another series where you okay as Leon or Chris or Jill or Claire, whatever. And that series continues the type shit seen in 6. I dont know, just a thought. But it would satisfy both ends of the fanbase.
Vendetta is such over the top fun I don’t know why it’s so hated
If I remember correctly there is an after credits scene where Ada meets with her employer for the mission. The feed is a bit fuzzy, but you can clearly make out the ring on her employers hand. This ring is Simmons's ring (The main Antagonist of six). This would imply that Simmons was involved in the war as well as justify his history with Ada in six.
I didn't even catch that. I never thought to look for a ring. Damn!
"Will Sony Pictures copyright strike..." YES! The answer is YES. Sony is really bitchy about RUclips.
Heck, I got one of my videos nailed when I did a Ghostbusters commentary, and it had no footage in it. They're ridiculous.
Yikes.
Jesus!
That's Japanese companies for you.
Sony is now based in California.
Yeah, i got a copy right strike from sony once because i was thinking about Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse when i spoke on camera. Next thing you know my thoughts are getting DMCA’d
"I have over 50 Hollywood movies, they're not even pirated!"
Goddamnit that was way funnier than it had any right being in a CGI RE movie
HA! Agreed.
JD is my spirit animal.
I loved this film, 2012 was a great year, we had a lot of Resident evil and Silent hill had quite a bit of stuff as well.
2012 was my jam!
I'd watch the whole "Game" universe in animated movie format.
Something i really liked about 4 and 5 is that they're not zombies. I was always fascinated with parasite controlled living things in both fiction and nonfiction, as in how can something just completely hijack your body and control it?
Have you seen or read Parasyte?
I liked 4's Plagas but 5 didn't do them as well. I found Plaga hosts like the Ganados being more intelligent than zombies interesting.
This movie give me the feel of RE5. And Leon and Ada's relation here is more serious, it's like they don't like each other this much like how it appear in the games.
I remember when Leon said:"Miss me already?" then Ada reply by "In your dreams".
Ali Alatrach she likes to tease him and loves being a strong female lead in the relationship since the 2nd game. It’s just when doing their jobs that it happens that only ‘leon’ dislikes Her secrecy behind things. The movie director stated in that one scene ‘ when we going to carry on that after that one night?’ He said they had sex/one night stand. Ada loves Leon In her own way and brought hope to her life after re:2
I enjoyed thoroughly the CG films. I actually got my gf into the Resident Evil games because of the movies. She wanted to know more what the hell those monsters were and the backstory. She digs mysteries.
Now that's a story I like hearing. I got a buddy of mine to play some Final Fantasy games thanks to Advent Children.
10/10; really liked the 90’s tv segment!
Thanks! That's the first time I tried anything like that.
Loved it too
Same :D
Your description of the 80's Night of the Living Dead and how it changed you, is fantastic. Also my first zombie horror flick as a kid, parents wouldn't let me and my sister watch R movies, so we got our cousin (18+ years old) to rent it for us, and then we stayed up, until our parents were asleep, and started watching it on VHS on my old CRT TV that didn't even have a remote. We watched the opening scene in the graveyard and both agreed to turn it off because it was too scary. We returned the next night after my parents had fallen asleep, and finished the movie. I had nightmares for 2 years straight afterwords and thus began my love for horror, and zombies, and being scared.
This was my favorite out of the 3 CGI movies
The Lickers vs Tyrant scene takes the whole movie for me alone also I'm not sure why but I really liked JD he cracked me up
"hopefully is not as dumb as it´s title" oh boy you´re up for a ride
what I wanted to tell you said it perfectly
I mean I liked it, but again it's only cause of the dumb action. The story was shit, but damn if it didn't look good.
Out of the three cg RE: movies, this one is my favourite. I honestly just find it the most entertaining, and it looks great, animation wise. Actually now that I think about it, I think this is my favourite RE movie in general lol. Also I love the Night of the Living Dead remake :)
A person infecting themselves with an Alpha parasite to control BOW’s makes perfect sense considering how affective it would be in the urban setting they were fighting in
I agree, plus, lets be honest the idea of being able to control these bio organic monsters is freaking cool as hell
So, considering this movie came out just before RE6, you COULD say that it is really close to the feel of the games.... at the time.
Overall, I really enjoyed the movie, perhaps a little more than Degeneration. Now, Vendetta... idk, it started off amazing that's for sure!
Can't afford patreon but I'll watch your adverts, I assume that helps out?
It does very much. Thank you for that.
No worries, keep up the good work.
@@AvalancheReviews I'm not doing either
@@whiteamericanmale7392 lol ad block
The scene where Leon stares down 2 charging tyrants with nothing but a knife is honestly one of my favorite moments in the entire franchise. It's so ridiculous and silly it becomes cool.
Had to watch this knowing you had a personal story included and I'm glad I did. It's always good to hear real life stories of great content creators. I think I was 8-9 when I first got too scared to sleep alone after a horror movie. I also agree that zombies are better than what we had in RE4-6. Keep up the great work Bro!
Sorry I've been too busy to keep up with every video, my kid takes up most of my time now.
I actually like this one. Out of the 3 CGI films, I think this is the best out of all them. It also helps Leon has his snarky RE4 self. He also seems more cold and jaded in this one, but still cares about people before becoming depressed drunk. Sure, I wanted more zombies and more suspense. But I liked the film for it's action. The Tyrant battle were definitely my favourite part. I have to admit I like the hand to hand fights in this film especially with Ada and the President. Although I felt the fight between Leon and Svetlana was more style than substance. Svetlana can apparently toss Leon in the air like he is featherweight or something. I don't know what is with Capcom having unstoppable Kung Fu master bad guys in these films, not that I'm against it but making villain overpowered can be either menacing or boring to watch. Like Glenn Arias in Vendetta. Overall, I'd say this was great review, Jared.
No offense, but it kinda bothers me when people say "they aren't zombies" when a zombie is a mindless drone, something/someone that can't think for themselves, when what people actually mean is "undead" or "reanimated" it's a strange gripe I have so I am sorry, but I know what you mean...
Anyway good review and I hope it doesn't get taken down, and personally I love the evolution of the Resident Evil franchise, there aren't many franchises that have progressed like this and even if you're not keen on the direction it's gone you have to admit it's impressive. I love action movies and games and I enjoy horror, so I really love how this franchise has been able to blend the two, I'm not keen on RE4, but that's mainly story, characters and relevancy to the franchise as a whole, but I really enjoyed 5 and 6, and these movies have a steady progression to the 6 level of action, probably steadier than the games.
I think most people use the Romero definition of the word. Where it's a a dead body reanimated to feed on the living. Sure the voodoo definition of the word has been around longer, but it's not as culturally relevant. Since the 60's we've all had the same idea of what the word meant. Plus even RE4 said they're not zombies.
@@AvalancheReviews fair point, and I'm looking forward to Vendetta
Since the concept and name of zombies comes from African/Caribbean culture and those zombies were often brougt back from death to serve a master - hence having a goal other than feeding itself - calling Las Plagas "zombies" should be valid. That being said, I never liked Las Plagas (zombies or not) for similar and other reasons. Resident Evil should've stuck to Romero zombies in my opinion. One of the reasons RE4 and RE5 never clicked with me (another one being the addition of Lord of the Rings cave trolls for some reason). I can't even remember if they were in RE6. Man did they butcher the RE universe with RE4. I'm still not over it :-b
@@Bock3039 Yeah.... those trolls really affected me too. But if one franchise has taught me to overlook certain things, just to get more enjoyment, then it's Resi.
It reminds me that its fiction after all.
@@AvalancheReviewsi can tell that this video, your 'criticisms' against the Las Plagas is only detrimental to your biased inconvenienced, that you have set yourself up with a higher set of (perceived) standards of what it is supposed to be as, and when it gets trifled with, well them you use baselined (baseless) worth of criticisms that are one-noted, and surface level...
Thanks for these videos man. You deserve a ton more subscribers with just how professional and detailed your videos are!
Great video! Loved the Jared origins story
"Zombies shouldn't be able to swing weapons around"
George A. Romeo: "mine can use them so i don't know what you're talking"
Great review man, keep em coming !
I just can't wait for your take on the Resident Evil Vendetta Gauss cannon scene. :P
I've never actually watched it, so I'm pretty stoked to check it out.
@@AvalancheReviews I won't spoil anything but the scene with the "Guass Cannon" is kinda the only thing I remember from the movie.
I want that gun in an RE game.
I have seen the Europe Premiere of Vendetta at the AnimagiC 2017 in Germany and I had a blast! I'm in love with these movies ever since and own all three of them on BluRay.
Great to see someone from the RE-Tuber Space finally cover these Films. Especially Damnation, since I barely ever see someone talk about that one in particular.
Also I LOVE, LOVE, LOOOVE the bright Daylight set pieces! It's certainly a different feeling and it's soo cool!
really hope you end up liking RE Vendetta lol looking forward to the review
Very well done man 👍🏻
Leon looking up at the lickers reminds of him, doing the same thing on Resident Evil 2 (1998.)
Awesome video as always! And after Vedetta i think you shoud not forget "Biohazard: 4D Executer"
Oh trust me. That thing will have its moment for sure.
I really love Resident Evil Vendetta. It's such awesome over the top non-stop action.
Can you talk about resident evil or biohazard 4d executer ? Its a 20 minutes cgi short but its good
The Plaga can control any living thing including BOW by a Beehive hierarchy as Ada explained in the meeting in early scene of the movie (or look at Sadler in RE4 that control everyone to fight Leon).
Also, the ending with Ada on the video call is strightly leading into RE6 because she absolutely talking to Simmons there.
1990 Night of the Living Dead is your favorite zombie movie? I feel like I've finally found my long lost brother! You have damn good taste, Avalanche.
Right back at ya!
It’s a good one, and very similar to the original that you can’t go wrong with either
It was the first one I ever watched too. Was only 8 years old. Watched as many as I could after!
Damnation may be the weakest of the trilogy but it is leagues better than any Paul W.S. Anderson RE movie.
EDIT: I got introduced to the Hellraiser movies while looking for porn on late night tv. Pre-internet 90's was such an amazing time.
Ha! I bet there's millions of adults with a similar story nowadays!
Yo hated! I stumbled upon Savini's 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead and then Romero's Dawn of the Dead on Scifi way back when I was young (8-9ish) and that what made me fall in love with horror movies. It blew my mind hearing you bring up the 90 remake in a way that mirrors my own experience with it. :)
So sad this retrospective is nearly over. But I'm glad you extended it with these.
Any chance of doing the live action movies? I know they're terrible but could be a laugh
I have seen every CGI Resident Evil Movie, and I love every one of them. I'm torn between George A Romero's of Night Of The Living Dead, and Tom Savini's version as well. Which part of Tennessee, did you live at? West, Middle, East? My version of Leon Scott Kennedy, is from Tennessee just like me. And we both live here, in Tennessee.
I'm not sure if someone has already texted this, but the only real connection the movie has with RE6 is the final scene of Ada. The mysterious man who she is talking with is Simmons, it means she was working for him (he removes all the arrest orders against her, and only some high charge could have done that) and it's quite probably that the Plagas shown in this movie are used to upgrade the C-virus.
PD: The last thing is more my own imagination than anything that has been said on the movie tbh.
PD: Loved your video and the whole retrospective series.
Maybe you should review Real Heroes: Firefighter. It’s an FPS on the Wii where you play as a rookie fireman
I second this, surprisingly fun game
Wait is that the one that was also an arcade game and it had the heavy hose that you had to lift like it was an arcade rail shooter?
I have never even heard of this. I could check it out though.
Darek Baird nope. Real heroes: firefighter was released for the Wii in 2009 and re-released in 2015 for the pc.
@@demontorch Yeah I was confusing it for an arcade machine called "Brave Firefighters"
the 1990 remake of night of the living dead is my fav zombie film to this day.
dont forget the one unique trait zombies have over other monsters, they're the only ones that come looking for you, the rest you have to go out and search for them.
I watched this after watching extinction and due to that I actually have quite a bit of nostalgia for me. I had just watched a movie that dumped all over the source material so this was a great palette cleanser
i appreciate your love for zombies especially with romero.
but i honestly have always loved the Las Plagas virus, and it’s very interesting riles and uses in the RE franchise.
1,2,3 and 6 are known for their great zombie infested atmospheres.
but i love the story telling that Las Plagas can provide to their narratives. 4 and 5 Rly benefit from a smarter zombie.
I’ve never heard about that Night of the Living Dead Remake so thanks for the movie recommendation as well as an awesome RE Movie Review
Resident Evil nerd alert:
I don't think the idea of controlling lickers is that dumb. If the master has control plaga inside of them, and lickers got ordinary plaga, then the master can control them the same way Saddler was controlling his men. What dumb is that the control plaga does not affect the host's consciousness, so Buddy wouldn't transform into a Ganado. Yeah, Resident Evil lore is inconsistent.
As for the connection to Resi 6, I think it is inplied that Ada was working for Simmons, or at least the Family. In the last scene, she is talking to someone who's got enough authority to erase her file from the Interpol database, and who could it be besides Simmons or someone from the Family? Problem is, in Resi 6 files, it says thad Ada hasn't seen Simmons since the Raccoon City incident, so there goes another retcon of an already convoluted story)
Glad to see you're still covering Resident Evil. And you're going to have a "blast" with Vendetta xD
Well, the Plagas in Damnation are artificial and defective. They're made to kill it host.
The CG trilogy is great, looking forward to your Vendetta review.
Lmao
I feel that _Vendetta_ is the worst out of the CG films, but at least it's still better than _The Final Chapter_ in every way.
Leon and Ada will never come into fruition. I'm still waiting on a story where Leon and Jill will finally meet and team up. The two most versatile, lethal and luckiest counter bioterror operatives and the best hero and heroine of the franchise is a must see. The two would have the coolest combo kicks and entertaining dialogue about their inhuman luck and survival skills.
It does seem weird they never teamed up. Seems like a no brainer.
@@AvalancheReviews there needs to be a Resident Evil Reunion where all major heroes meet up. Jill and Claire, Leon and Barry, Leon and Jill, Claire and Rebecca, etc.
Has Jill done anything after RE 5?
@@javierlopez9789 nope
Her last canonical chronological appearance was in 2009's RE5
Other than a file in Revelations 2 telling us she's still in rehab
She's the only main hero who has not made it to the 2010's
Claire and Barry had Rev 2, Leon and Chris dominated with RE6, RE7 and the two cgi movies Damnation and Vendetta, even Ada and Rebecca have 2010's appearances
Chris is the only franchise longrunner who's had the latest chronological appearance in RE7
@@ursaber and Leon hasn't met her or Barry yet, and Jill hasn't met Ada, neither has Chris technically
Another great video. Was the Savini Dead movie the 1990 one that was filmed north of Pittsburgh? Pretty sure I saw it. Return of the Living Dead (1986) is the first one I saw as a kid and I had nightmares for weeks.
Jared, at it again with the Resi Retrospective!
I'm a man of the people. When they request cg movie reviews, I bless them with cg movie reviews. HA!
The Hero we need, but not the one we deserve.
Your Zombie movie story is like mine, but with Dawn of The Dead (remake)! I actually had night terrors after that until I was 13.
Man, I gotta know, what does current day Avalanche Review Jared look like nowadays?
The Night of the Living Dead remake had such an amazing soundtrack, the end credits was genuinely creepy with all those photos.
I know this video is about resident evil but thanks to your 2 minute review of night of the living dead I watched it for the first time and it’s now one of my favorites zombie films of all time 🐐
Well there are two things: one this is the mission Ada Wong mentions is when she learns how creepy her employer is into her(that or its the one where she remarks not actually undertaking) and two this is where Leon really doesn't want to leave anyone behind
Man, this movie is just awesome. I remember watching it as a kid, after having watched all the live-action movies (forgive me father for I have sinned xdd) and it was just epic.
A videogame movie that actually resembled its source material and took place in the series' universe, that's something that at the time I had only seen in Advent Children... and apart from the few other CGI RE films... that's still pretty much true :L.
And fuc, it took place in semi-Soviet Russia, how epic is that?!
Also dude when are you going to review the mobile games? Like, the java mobile games heh. Make me happy lmao
Sadly, I don't think I ever will. There's nearly 30 java based games under the RE4 banner alone. I don't think I'd live to see the end of them, if I did.
Holy shit... I was talking about the ones like Resident Evil The Missions or Degeneration... and of course, the mobile port of Re4 (the one that was also in the Zeebo thing) which is just epic tbh
When the tank pooped out the shell casing 🤣
Only RE property were I legit shouted "RUN LICKER RUN"
I like this movie for one scene and one scene only.
In the final fight when they dropped Leon the rocket launcher to finish the fight (you know, like in almost EVERY OTHER RESIDENT EVIL GAME - Ethan got that Wesker pistol, but they said to him "use this") I was all like "like ofcourse it will be the rocket launcher". And how suprised was I when it FAILED.
Now that is a plot twist right there :D
YES! He's back!
With a vengeance
Leon and Ava have the same damn haircut, lol.
keep at it!! wanna hear you ranting about vendetta..:D
Count on it!
I'm pretty strongly opposed to a lot of what you've said about later RE titles and survival horror as a genre, but I'm one thousand percent with you on Las Plagas not being scary. What's frustrating is that, from a gameplay perspective, they're functionally almost identical, so using Plagas means you've gone out of your way to make your enemies less frightening.
I had no idea the retrospective was going, but this was super fucking good
Hell yeah! Thank you!
My first zombie movie was the original Dawn of the Dead, and then Day of the Dead. My mom picked the VHS' at Walmart and brought them home. I unwrapped them and watched them by myself. It was the single greatest experience of my life. Watching those movies for the first time... Changed my life
I had a similar experience but with me it was 28 Days Later, but I was a lil younger. I know people are pedantic about calling the rage infected zombies, but the Dawn of the Dead remake was also about by the time I saw 28 Days so fast zombies were front and center.
I live in the suburbs of England not far from London, and to see landmarks and places you grew up around being desolate and filled with people you might have known who were now mindless killers was so scary to me.
Yes! Exactly! I tend to prefer the Romero era, slow moving zombies, but at the same time both 28 days and dawn are 2 of the absolute best zombie movies ever made.
these reviews deserved more views
I agree with you about the Las Plagas although they did freak me out in RE4. But when you have 'zombies' wielding weapons and shooting guns at you then there is no point in them being a zombie really lol.
I can't wait for your Vendetta review its my favourite of the RE films!
The problem is, the slow dumb zombies aren’t a threat. They either need a utterly overwhelming numbers or some extra schtick to more than inconvenience you. In the first game it’s the dogs trapping you in the mansion with basically no supplies (and even then it’s the bosses and faster non-human zombie enemies that are dangerous) and the second and third it’s basically the same, except replace “mansion” with “strangely almost completely gun-free small-ish American city”. Even the REmake of the first game added the Crimson Heads to make normal zombies a moderate annoyance.
This is also the reason movies like the newer X of the Dead and shows like The Walking Dead can spend so much time on their “hurr durr hoominz is da REEL monsturz” pontificating. The zombies are an occasional plot device like the old writing advice “if you don’t know what to have happen next, have a man come through the door with a gun”.
Edited for weird formatting issue.
I've heard the scene at the end of the movie or during the credits was supposed to be the first scene in RE6.
I just got this idea of a Resident Evil animation after I played some Counter Strike Warzone, its called Operation:Umbrella Resistance
Well the story is basically about a team of Umbrella mercenaries sent to investigate a disappearance of a Umbrella plane carrying lots of documents that carries crucial information about Umbrella and a portable nuke that is about to be modified to carry viruses. The mercenaries find that the plane is empty, all documents, along with the portable nuke are gone, the captain informs HQ about this and then after reaching a bridge they are underfire by a resistance group formed to fight against Umbrella, now they have to stop the resistance members from activating the nuke before its too late and take back all the information of Umbrella
this is meant to be a prequel to Operation:Raccoon city
I'm sharing this because of the similarities with damnation
I really like this movie, mainly for the human fight scenes and the T-103 action. Also, I know you're doing Vendetta next, but I gotta ask... doesn't Glenn Arias in the movie resemble George Clooney?
Great shoutout for the 1990 version of Night of the Living Dead. I know everyone raves about Romeo’s original 1968 version, but I actually kinda dig Tom Savini’s remake a bit more.
I have to hand it to you man. You chose a zombie movie back then instead of Porn! Hell I can't even do that now that Porn is so available! You sir are so tough!
I still struggle with the results of that decision, but I made my choice and I standing by it. HA!
The only way I can possibly see this being a lead in to 6 is that it shows Leon and Ada are still up to their usual business. That and it shows that Leon is more than willing to go against his superiors orders, which is a major part of 6.
I'm rather sure the end scene with Ada has her selling the virus / plaga sample to the villain of the RE6 in this movie. From that they were able to make the j'avo monsters in 6 with them being more developed than the monsters we see in the movie.
@@Kaboose666 Fair point, I haven't seen it in years. Though wasn't that the exact plot thread that connected 4 and 5 lol? Ada steals sample of Plaga and gives it to villain of next game who improves it?
So funny I was watching an old blank tape with showtime movies taped on it looking for softcore porn, Savini’s NOTLD was on there watched it and it became my first and all time favorite zombie movie. I was too scared to even go outside and let my dog in. Think I was 12-13. Great review man, RE should always have zombies, hate the plagas, love Leon!
i have only watched ONE youtube video of RE vendetta: leon and chris fighting Zs
and then i was depressed for the rest of the day
that's coming from someone who's first RE was RE 4
I liked this movie and all the Resi animated. And the Slav President with her Slav-Fu was kewl as Heck!
She was the most interesting character for sure. The way she smiled while she was fighting made her really damn cool.
Here's a random question that's been bugging me for years about this film - what's the deal with the red strip of cloth dangling from the Tyrant's belts? Is it just a design thing, no meaning? Is it a hand towel soaked with blood? Is it a flag? Does it have some deeper symbolic purpose?
Any ideas?
When you are finished the RE retrospective series, which series you want to do next?
Maybe Dead Rising? First game has It's scary vibe, till the later sequels just ruined it (2 wasn't as scary as 1, but it's still great).
I have the Hunter the Reckoning and Silent Hill series lined up next. I would like to play some dead rising though. Maybe a stream or something?
I thought they put regular plagas in the Lickers and infected themselves with the control plagas or modified versions of those?
Oh my god I totally had a similar experience with zombies as a kid. Walking Dead kept me awake at night as a 10 year old
I have it in 3D and I have to say I really enjoyed it. And as someone that's lived in Russia, they nailed a lot of aspects of the culture in those characters. I also want to really compliment how the Japanese distribute their movies. The box is really cool oh, there's only one disc, but that disk has both the 2D and 3D Blu-ray movies on it. I didn't know that was possible because they don't do that in America. And after navigating the menus without understanding what they say, I was able to watch the movie in English, and in Japanese with English subtitles. I watch all the movies before I watch a review so I'm watching Vendetta this week
Damn, that is pretty cool! Looks like I need to get my hands on some Japanese blurays.
You can tell Capcom likes Leon as he’s in every one of their live action films as well as the main character of the movie
You definitely need to check out Kids Next Door: Operation Zero. Zombies are a serious threat in this film and it scared me back when I was a kid. Definitely gave me nightmares back in the day. Think of zombie apocalypse, but it's transferred through touch, not bite. A cruel form of tag.
Good stuff
While I love the stupid action of Vendetta, this is my favorite movie in the trilogy. Honestly hard to believe but also one of my favorite movies of all time. I get that you want zombies and you don't like the control parasites but they make perfect sense. Resident Evil, during the action era, is not just about zombies, it is about B.O.W. (Bio Organic WEAPONS). A weapons that is just as likely to turn around and eat its master is not a very good weapon. They can basically only be used as bombs in a area to clear out all enemies and even then you would still need to clean up any surviving zombies after your enemies. To have BOWs play an important role in the black markets of this world you want better ways to control them. And that is what I love about Resident Evil. The live-action movies ruined the story when they mad-maxxed it and said the ended basically ended as the outbreak consumed the world. THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF THAT! This is modern-day world where viscous monsters are weapons of warfare! The politics and implications of that are fascinating! I get it that you prefer the survival horror world where zombies outbreak and you are just trying to survive. But RE 4-6 and Revelations are about a world where zombies and other BOWs are used as weapons for profit. Our heroes are fighting against that heroically instead of just trying to survive.And personally I love the grey areas this film explores in that war-torn world filled with monsters.
By the way it isn't well-explained or strongly tied to it but I believe the reason this takes place 6 months before RE6 is to show that Leon's faith in the government is jaded as he trusts them less by the time of the game.
The country you are actually exists. But known as the Slovak republic. Which at one time was united with the Czech republic. The two used to be Czechoslovakia. But was spit into two regions.
I got degeneration as part of my RE6 collector's edition and recently Vendetta caught my attention due to Leon unleashing his inner John Wick... But somehow this one completely passed me by. Looks like good dumb fun
This is an entry I need to watch again. I mostly just remember finding some of the characters a little too annoying and it dragging the experience down a notch. Plus, I'm presently playing through _RE6_ so any aspects which loosely connect it to the game, like _Degeneration_ with the Tricell reveal, will be more appreciated than my initial viewing. Still, this might be my least favorite of the CGI films, but I can still appreciate the goofy fun they offer compared to the live-action films.
A lot of Vendetta will feel like they repurposed story elements from RE6
The connection to RE6 is that this plaga variation was used to create the c vlrus and was internationally marketed, putting the odds of an outbreak out of the BSAA's hands
Also, thanks to the results of this operation Leon was given the spot as the president's scort and guard
And tbh the fact that it went SO FAR from the formula makes the film pretty great
That is pretty crappy with Sony Pictures giving you a copyright strike. They can't handle someone criticizing their movies. I like the CGI in this one, I do remember when capcom made the Resident Evil movies with the first one being the outbreak with Claire at the airport with Leon as well. Your review is again great as usual. I like the review for the CGI movies since they didn't get much fanfare or did I hear anyone really talk about them much. The fight scenes in any aspect look very well done and it's nice to see a CGI movie where you can turn your brain off and just enjoy the action film.
That's exactly what it is. Just a good movie to turn your brain off and enjoy.
Watching this before they try to strike this video. Already pressed play. Can't stop me now, RUclips!
Ha! I have my fingers crossed that this one wont get a strike.
Heeeeeeeyyyyy my brother just gave me an excellent idea to continue the R E Retrospective. You should review the 6 S.D. Perry Resident Evil books.
I've thought about it, but I have no idea how I would edit a video together with no visuals.
Avalanche Reviews Yeah. Good point. I guess you can use footage from the original games on the three books that follow RE 1, 2 and 3. But the three original stories would be very hard to have any related visuals except for some random play through. Aaaaaand... we can’t really analyze the different ports 😂. Anyhow, I’m glad the idea is out there. Thanks as always for your amazing work.
It's ironic how Capcom went all out with it's "horror entertainment" thing for RE6 ... but they had it all in the CG movies. I live for mindless action popcorn fun.Keep the games spoopy and the movies mindless action and I'm so there!
I'm a simple man. Jared posts a video, I watch.
That's what i like about you
@@AvalancheReviews Yup, yup. Went back and watched your old videos, too. Any news on a new Trashed Classics episode?
I have this on a 3D Blu-ray imported from Japan and it is *infinitely* more awesome during the action scenes.
I wish they would make more animated movies linking to the games
