Title: Resident Evil: Damnation (2012) Post by: akiratubo on March 03, 2015, 10:46:19 PM Leon Kennedy goes to The Eastern Slav Republic, aka Absolutely Not Ukraine, to investigate reports of Bio-Organic Weapons being used there. (In the video games, B.O.W.s are banned by international law and stuff). He makes friends with a bunch of
Anyway, enough of that stupid plot stuff. Time for ass-kicking! Leon and his friends kick some zombies' asses. Then they go to another location to kick more zombies' asses. The one This is one of the best action flicks I've seen in a long time. There's just enough setup that you know who people are and what they're doing, then it's 100% ass-kicking until the end credits. The action scenes are fun and choreographed so that (gasp) you can tell what's going on! The action sequences also exploit fully the abilities of the various monsters involved in them. The best thing, however, about Resident Evil: Damnation is that is really is Resident Evil. The god-awful series kicked off by Paul W.S. Anderson is more like a series of Resident Evil fanfics starring somebody's super-cool ultra-badass original character (do not steal) with a few "reinterpretations" of the game characters playing second or third banana. Damnation has characters from the games, staying true to their characterizations in the games, in situations just like the games, who are even voiced by the same actors as in the games. I can't tell you how glad I was to hear Matthew Mercer, Courtenay Taylor, and Salli Saffioti voicing their usual characters, plus familiar voices like Wendee Lee in supporting roles. It's true that a non-fan of the games might not get as much out of this movie but, if you're in the mood for an action flick, there are worse ways to kill 100 minutes.

Is there anything worthwhile after?

Is there anything worthwhile after? They are all about the same. If you didn't like the first couple, you won't like any of the others. These CGI direct to video movies actually ARE canon with the RE games. The one made before this one Degeneration introduces several names that will show up in the video games Are you telling me RE games have enough plot for anything to be considered canon? :bouncegiggle: |
