RESIDENT EVIL:
DEGENERATION

The introduce of Leon Kennedy is also a great move as we team past characters to uncover the corruption of yet another giant corporation leaving Americans to be left under the grasp of the walking dead. I was rather impressed most of the time at how expressive the characters were and found myself pulling the hairs from my scalp at the sheer tension brought to the screen that I expected from the big screen adaptation. The zombie designs are magnificent with the classic “Resident Evil” molds at hand. The voice work also excels with folks like Paul Mercier and Alyson Court taking on the roles of Claire and Leon with sheer precision and skill. Though it does deviate in the final half in to government corruption it does serve a purpose to the whole zombie outbreak, as we’ve seen in past video games. “Degeneration” isn’t just a plotless light show from the likes of “Appleseed,” it’s an actual movie that blows every shred of the live action films away and provides some truly creepy zombie grue in the process.

Sure it watches like a compilation of cut scenes from past games, and
sure in some cases it's an attempt at a reboot for the series, but all I
could think about while watching "Regeneration" is: Was this so fucking
hard to do for fans and general horror fans? We had to suffer through
three really bad derivative quasi-horror films and now we're given a
virtually completely animated movie that just gets it right. Why is it
so hard to release this and let us endure Paul WS Anderson's butchery in
the first place? “Degeneration” pretty much sums up its goal from the
opening shot where Wil Pharmacy’s have taken over the city leaving where
Raccoon City left off. We’re introduced to Claire Redfield one of the
survivors of the original games left to life of monotony and early
retirement.
