The RESIDENT EVIL franchise takes another giant leap forward as it reveals its first all CG feature length motion picture RESIDENT EVIL: DEGENERATION. This new film is a departure from the live action films as it follows closer to the storylines connected with the video games.
In this film Claire Redfield is coming home to Harvardville when a terrorists unleashes the T-Virus at the same airport she’s in. This all coincides with the arrival of Senator Ron Davis who is believed to be the one responsible for the catastrophe that happened at Raccoon City years earlier. In addition to the terrorist unleashing a zombie in the airport, a plane crashes into the airport full of zombies causing a mass outbreak in which Claire finds herself trapped with Senator Davis and other survivors.
When agent Leon S. Kennedy arrives at the scene his job is to save the Senator and figure out who is behind the threat. Leon is assisted by a local police agent by the name of Angela Miller, who soon discovers that it is her own brother who is behind the terrorist threats who want Senator Davis to reveal the truth about what really happened at Raccoon City, where his wife was killed.
The film starts off as a simple rescue operation but soon turns into a espionage thriller as the convoluted conspiracy gets bigger the deeper Leon and Claire dig. The story is much richer then that of the live action films and should appeal to all fans of the video game but I do miss Milla Jovovich. The CG animation is quite good in parts but at times the females are drawn a tad out of proportion but this is negligible. The set pieces are much bigger then anything they could do in a live action film (unless of course they had $100 million) which is one of the films greatest assets as both the beginning plane crash and the ending of the film are magnificent. If this is a taste of things to come for the RESIDENT EVIL franchise then they are heading in the right direction.
