The gang’s all here for Resident Evil: Death Island, which puts the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance’s Chris Redfield (Kevin Dorman), Jill Valentine (Nicole Tompkins), and Rebecca Chambers (Erin Cahill) into the field alongside TerraSave's Claire Redfield (Stephanie Panisello) and faithful DSO agent Leon S. Kennedy (Matthew Mercer). Their mission? Try to contain a new kind of viral outbreak that operates with its own set of rules. It’s 2015, and we’re in San Francisco – in Capcom’s ever-expanding RE universe, Death Island takes place after Resident Evil: Vendetta but before Resident Evil 7: Biohazard – and this time around, a lunatic is out to murder millions with his bio-engineered, T-Virus-addled drones. The CG animation really levels up whenever an action sequence hits, and the creature effects are impressive. But when our heroes slow down, either to consider all of the violence they’ve experienced or just to listen to a madman expose his grand scheme, Death Island can’t find a pulse.
While Jill and Chris investigate a run of mysterious new infections in San Francisco – the victims bear marks of being injected, not bitten – Leon chases down a shady engineer named Dr. Antonio Taylor (Frank Todaro), who was abducted before he could sell his rogue biotech on the international black market. And when Claire is called in to assess the carcass of a dead orca in the bay, she marvels at the size of the bite which did it in.
These leads converge on Alcatraz with a certainty that betrays the film’s intentions. It wants all of its principals in the same room – or in this case, the same antique prison wing – because they’re on the hit list of the villainous, Russian roulette-obsessed Dylan Blake (Daman Mills), the survivor of a botched mission to extract key Umbrella Corporation personnel from Raccoon City. (There must be a law somewhere that every Resident Evil offshoot must also lead back to the Raccoon City Incident.) It’s not enough that his T-Virus experiments have produced bio-drones designed to infect whomever he chooses. Blake wants to taunt our heroes with the revelation of his scheme. And taunt he does, to tedious extremes. The animation in Death Island is not capable of accurately conveying human emotion, but if it were, all of the film’s heroes would be groaning and giving off major side eye at the torture of Dylan Blake’s incessant droning.

It’s a nice moment of camaraderie between these legacy characters, but there’s no time for sentiment when a supervillain is unleashing diabolical creatures in your midst. Lots of zombie head shots ensue, and Jill scores a few acrobatic death blows to silence the human-hungry experiments Blake has bred in the tunnels beneath Alcatraz. And when she finally confronts him and his henchwoman Maria (Cristina Valenzuela) – she’s a throwback, too, itching to use her enhanced fighting skills against Leon after making it out of Vendetta alive – Blake has another repetitive lecture prepared that highlights his plan for a streak of global terror.
Resident Evil: Death Island takes a page from the video-game side of the long-running franchise, quickening its pace whenever an action sequence kicks in. There are gross-out T-Virus creatures here, and zombies satisfyingly blasted, and chances for each of the main heroes to rack up their kill shots. But that energy flags for lengthy stretches, as ...

okay
A strong sense of action and movement, but lacking on that whole talking thing.

Aug 2, 2023 · Resident Evil: Death Island is the fifth animated entry (three previous movies and a TV series) and, despite carrying the weight of being in-canon, it mostly works as a standalone tale. And, particularly if you like these animated movies, it's actually pretty decent.

72 Reviews. Hide Spoilers. Sort by: Filter by Rating: 4/10. Good lookin' but dumb as hell. Smarmelade 22 July 2023. While Infinite Darkness looked a bit dated, they dialed up path tracing to the max here. It really looks good most of the time and styled like recent RE game remakes. That's about it.
