Resident Evil: Vendetta

A “Shout-out” and “Thank you” to Director Takanori Tsujimoto, Stage G films, Kadokawa films and Marza Animation Planet Productions for an excellent CGI Movie that demonstrates cutting edge detail of CGI display of human skin textures, eye moisture, veins beneath the skin, hair, sweat, city roads textures, buildings, walls, windows, the smallest detail of rust on a spoon or fork, the way clothing behaves on the human body and various clothing textures, including all other environmental textures has such realistic impact on you, the you utterly forget that you are watching a CGI Movie! The Premise: A small trio of highly skilled individuals work together to defeat an intentional outbreak of the virus that turns people into zombies. *This movie is left open for yet another sequel. My Thoughts: CGI Movies are great for Sci-fi movies like Starship Troopers, and “HALO,” along with the Resident Evil series. More of these types of Sci-Fi CGI Movies are to follow from other franchises. These are (triple-AAA) productions, with amazing realistic detail and absolutely great storylines. This movie is very good, with all its zombie gore, action, character development, and massive carnage and blood. The para-military/special forces factor, including hardcore fighting sequences and gun battles really elevates this movie to a level of total splendor. I thought it very odd and funny that “pretty-boy” Agent Kennedy could fight all these bloody battles with zombies and ride that motorcycle all over the place…and yet his hair is NEVER out of place…really??? The Facts: 1. Running Time: 1hr. 37 min. 2. Widescreen HD 3. Sound 5.1 DTS-HD 4. Beautiful and Realistic CGI Effects. 5. No dry or boring areas this movie has a lot of action. 6. Excellent Story with a climatic ending, left open for a possible sequel. 7. Excellent Character Development. 8. The Movie is Gruesome, Shocking, Bloody, Gory with lots of Carnage. Thank you!

First off, let me say I'm a big RE video game fan, and always hated the sacreligious live action movies. I enjoyed the last two Resident Evil CG movies, Degeneration and Damnation. I thought Degeneration was good, but the pacing seemed slightly off and the story wasn't particularly good. Damnation was better overall, but none of the action scenes stood out as being quite as cool as the Leon parkour sequence in Degeneration. This one I would say is the best out of the 3. I feel the pacing is better, starting with suspense and small action scenes and building to some over-the-top, 10/10, nailed the landing flawlessly levels of perfection. The character arcs and chemistry between Leon, Chris, and Rebecca were all solid too, and I thought the supporting cast and antagonist, while maybe not incredibly well fleshed out, were lively and gave the leads some good room for interaction. The starting sequence in the manor had some genuinely creepy imagery, and the ending action scenes had me grinning the entire time. Amazing choreography, hype as all get out moments of willpower from Chris and Leon, and some genuine tension. A worthwhile film, and a film I think might be easier for newcomers to get into than either Degeneration or Damnation. All I can say is I'm giddy for the possibility of another CG film. With Resident Evil 7 not exactly bringing the RE characters I love so much, I'm glad to see there is an outlet for me to see more of my characters in a few tense horror scenes and a lot of excellent action scenes.

Great movie in my opinion if you’re a fan of resident evil and Leon

Now you'd think that just because they're fighting a giant on top of a skyscraper, a motorcycle wouldn't be factoring in as a decisive weapon. And that's where you'd be wrong. Because this is an absolutely bonkers, over-the-top banger of a goofy video game movie that had me yelling "What?!" at a few occasions. I had a great time. Don't expect Citizen Kane (which I haven't seen admittedly but heard it was kind of the bar for good movies) or anything that remotely plays by the rules of the real world, and you'll be set. Like 11 spec ops guys will get downed by one (1) zombie child, while meanwhile in an earlier installment of the same franchise a certain rookie cop managed to survive an entire zombified city, so don't take that part too seriously. Once that first 'spooky' part of the movie is finished (which really fell flat for me because I expect more from spec ops) and we move into where the heart of it really is--ridiculous bombastic flashy guns-blazing zombie battles--and it hits it stride to become a fun time. Some of it gets so ridiculous that you just have to laugh and vibe along. Its choreography had me hollering at one particular point (you'll know it when you see it, it somewhat resembles lethal duck-duck-goose with tumbling and machine guns) but is also insanely tight and creative, which made for a great fun movie night--and that's from someone who finds action sequences pretty stale sometimes! One thing I did think was interesting on a deeper level and that I hope gets expanded on is Leon's struggle with disillusionment and depression, which was briefly touched on. Although he pulls out of it to do his job, the movie ends by acknowledging that it's just put a band-aid on a much bigger problem. Leon asks twice, once before and once after the fighting, how long they can continue like this, and whether his life is just supposed to be devoted to fighting zombies. The first time he gets pressured to just suck it up and re-join the mission, which he does. The second time he brings it up, the fighting is done. Chris cracks a joke--but Leon's still thinking, still pondering, and I'm glad they didn't gloss through and force him to a resolution when there really wasn't one yet. I'm interested to see that quieter and more mature side of him come to light and I hope they give it the weight it deserves...I hope he does find that resolution, too. I'm interested to see if it comes up again in future movies. Overall, I had a blast with this movie. The animation was such good fun (in my opinion) that it was easy to just get swept up in the fun and forget that our 'actors' were pixels. It is, again, goofy as heck, but if you just remember that the 'rule of cool' supersedes all else, it's a good time. My inner 13-year-old was going absolutely feral! W movie, in my opinion.

Nice

I’m a big resident evil fan and I liked the CGI movies but hated all of the live action ones Resident evil vendetta is one kickass movie and the best resident evil movie to date the animation is spectacular The action scenes are awesome and the storyline is actually really good as crazy as he is you can’t help but shed a tear for Arias Plus unlike the live action abominations the storyline follows the resident evil games perfectly vendetta feels like just another resident evil game And it’s great to see Rebecca chambers back after being absent for so long Plus seeing Chris and Leon kick ass is always good Overall with great animation and a storyline that could come right from the games if you love resident evil then vendetta will be right up your alley Highly recommended.

If you want a slice of action from the world of resident evil that features familiar faces and fan favorites this is good. Don't think too insanely critically about it, don't be a gatekeeping stick up the butt and you'll find yourself having a really good time. I would recommend anyone in the RE fandom to watch this at least once. This beats any live action movie and Everyone is sexy ┐(‘～`;)┌ Some gore, good spooks at the start, an insite into all the characters brains, some feels and some hot ass ppl everywhere. What's there not to like? A little bit for everyone

I'm just glad this part of it is done but now there's like one of the film as well as a series that needs to be gotten. I am a pretty big resident evil fan or as big as it comes. Always had a love for the franchise and thanks to these films it greatly helped to see these characters ever then playing the games which I have nothing against. It's always great to see these particular characters who have already dealt with the horrors but are now far more experienced and are capable of dealing with the threats that they deal with. Sure it takes away from the horror implement but I'm an action adventure type of guy so it doesn't hurt much. So finally getting this definitely appeals to my fandom that I do look forward to getting the other film as well as series.
