Resident Evil : Damnation

It´s amazing how popular Resident Evil is, both in video games and the feature movies with Milla Jovovich. The story of  Umbrella Corporation and their experiments worked very well in the video games, when it comes to the feature movies, i think we all have different opinions on the results. I personally enjoyed movie number 3 quite alot, Resident Evil: Extinction, for a different approach, like a mix of Mad Max and zombie action. Then in 2008, came the animated movie Resident Evil: Degeneration, a quite ambitious animated movie that entertained me. Now, we have a new animated Resident Evil movie in our hands, does Resident Evil: Damnation have what it takes to please fans, or is this just a product to make more money?

In the Eastern Slav Republic, Leon is send in to verify rumors that Bio-Organic Weapons, that are being used in the country's civil war. Leon is kidnapped during a fight with a Licker creature. Waking up in a basement, with tied hands, Leon meets 3 rebel fighters. They want answers why Leon has come here from Usa. Meanwhile,  President Svetlana Belikova meets Ada Wong, who is a member of BSAA. She have information on how to control BOW´S, if the use Plaga parasites. Leon is let loose, as he head inside a underground tunnel. He meets rebel fighter MJ in the tunnel, and rescue him. On their way inside the city, hell is one step closer to reality.

If you are hoping for a Pixar movie, then you will be disappointed. The animation is not that good, but on the other hand, for being an animated zombie movie, the final results give us zombie addicts a good time. Resident Evil: Damnation is the perfect saturday morning movie at the breakfast table, reminds me of Saturday cartoons with my sister back in the 90´s when we had so many foreign cartoon tv channels. Difference is that here we get more violence and more dialogue. The story looks good, with nice details of the old Eastern Slav Republic, filled with different details based on the games. Worth a watch if you´re tired of cozy children cartoons, and want to see some real dark animation.
