Resident Evil: Death Island Film SPOILER FILLED Film Review

 



Resident Evil fans it's been about six years since we last got an anime Resident Evil film and well a New one has just been released. I will very much admit that i've been looking to seeing this film every since I first found out about it and well you all just new that I was going to check out this film the very first chance that I got and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the film that sees a bunch of the franchises protagonists team up with the film in question being called simply just "Resident Evil: Death Island" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when a scientist is kidnapped Leon has to find him and in the process help Christ , Jill and Claire stop the world from a new deadly virus. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt that about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad altho it did feel pretty generic and just wasn't all that interesting in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Nicole Tompkins as Jill Valentine , Kevin Dorman as Chris Redfield and Matthew Mercer as Leon S. Kennedy , Stephanie Panisello as Claire Redfield , Power Rangers star and  legend Erin Cahill as Rebecca Chambers , Salli Saffioti as Ingrid Hunnigan , Daman Mills as Dylan Blake , Voice acting legend Cristina Vee as Maria Gomez , Frank Todaro as Antonio Taylor and Lucien Dodge as JJ.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in his very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With all of this films cast members turning in some really good performances which is to be expected as alot of this films cast members are a bunch of really good and really well known voice actors and so of course they are going to turn in some really performances in this film.



Doing the animation for this film is the true legends and the really greats that are currently over at Quebico. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good with this films animation really blowing me away with just how good it well and truly was.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!



One of the things that I hated about this film is what they did to Jill Valentine as they turned her into somebody who is always right no matter what. To make things worse is the fact that they gave her the stereotypical side haircut which just makes her look like a girl boss type of a character and not an actual interesting character which is a shame because they do give an in story reason as to this sudden change in her character but they do nothing with that story which is a shame because the story behind her change which was she was basically brainwashed by Wesker into killing people could make for an interesting character arc but the film does nothing with it whatsoever which means that a great story arc just gets wasted for no reason whatsoever.

One of the things that you'd expect a zombie movie to be is scary and that's one of the things that this film sadly isn't for the most part. While yes we do get some jump scares in this film those re very rarely effective with them instead just being annoying and not scary all of which makes me wonder why the makers of this film just didn't bother to prioritize making this film scary as that would make your audience want to see your characters succeed instead all it does is take your audience out of the movie because it just reminds them that there really just watching a movie and nothing really of the more then that. 




One of the things that I was worried about was that some characters would get lost in the shuffle as there are quite a few main characters in this film. However for the most part that actually isn't the case with pretty much all of this films main cast of characters not only getting close to equal screen time but also having their own moment to sine in the films third act and the fact that all of the characters are teaming up is a smart way to give all of the characters equal screen time as it means that none of the characters are left with nothing to do.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty minuets and forty three seconds. Which is a bit on the short side for this film as it means that alot of the films plot points and even the main villains big reveal doesn't really feel earned as the film doesn't really let them sink in and this is also true for the some parts of the films animation which moves far to quickly all because of the fact that the film has to hit it's next plot point in time but I will admit tho that this film does have some really good pacing to it tho so there's that at least.


So now then since this is an action film that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really freaking cool. With the above picture being perhaps the coolest looking shot in the whole entire film and when your film is just filled to the brim of just really cool action scenes it really is saying something that one monster taking out a bunch of people in one shot is the coolest of them all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!


Overall while this film is quite easily better then both the live action Resident Evil Netflix TV series and Welcome To Raccoon City it's not as good as Degeneration was in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review that means that this very film earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Resident Evil fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Image actually has images from this film up on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.
