Plot synopsis:
WARNING:
This synopsis contains Spoilers. Do not read ahead if you plan on seeing the movie and haven't. It is as detailed as I can get, so if you do plan on watching Resident Evil: Degeneration, DO NOT READ AHEADClaire Redfield is now a member of TerraSave, an organization which handles search and rescue at chemical and biological attacks. Claire arrives at Harvardville Airport to meet a family she is aiding.A passenger aircraft is approaching the airport to land. As one of the attendants checks the passengers, she notices one man looking unwell. The man in question is clearly in the final stages of t-virus infection, and warns the attendant. Shortly after, he zombifies.Claire is looking after her friend's niece, Rani Chawla, when they see Senator Ron Davis walk by. While a zombie-masked protester is arrested by a police officer, only to be attacked by an actual zombie seconds later. One of Davis' bodyguards shoots the zombie while being attacked by the infected security guard, who was presumed to be dead. The second guard attempts to run but is also devoured. The scene causes panic and people in the vicinity flee, some being attacked by zombies, and the plane crashes into the building, with all of the occupants already transformed into zombies. Claire, Davis and Rani hide in the VIP lounge.At night, the airport has been locked down by the United States Marine Corps and local law enforcement. Survivors are evacuated for treatment, many still locked inside the airport. Two Special Response Team officers, Angela Miller and Greg Glenn are joined by a government agent with experience of such incidents, Leon S. Kennedy. The group enter the building through the roof and begin their search. They manage to find Claire and the survivors. Travelling back to the main terminal, Glenn is bitten by a zombie and stays behind, determined to save the rest by killing the creatures nearby. The survivors shoot their way out, with the marines (who had been vaccinated prior to the lockdown) clearing out the terminal.Claire, upon being told that the WilPharma Corporation, who she was campaigning against, had created a t-virus vaccine, realizes that the vaccine could have saved those who died. Suddenly, the WilPharma trucks containing the vaccine are destroyed. Claire goes with WilPharma worker Frederic Downing to the WilPharma research facility for more vaccine. After a tour of the facility, Claire is shown a molecular-scale image of the G-virus. She is left alone in the room as Downing heads for the sample.Claire calls Leon to update him about WilPharma's possession of the G-virus, and learns that he and Angela Miller discover Curtis Miller's house burnt to the ground. Downing phones Claire to warn her that a man has just left the facility and that a time bomb has been activated. Claire looks out of a window and sees Curtis Miller running through the central gardens with a briefcase. The bomb goes off.Leon and Angela arrive and Leon goes upstairs to Claire while Angela monitors the ground level. While Leon is upstairs, Curtis arrives at the garden. Not having much time left, he tells Angela that the government covered up some of the events in Raccoon City which kept his family from being saved. A squad of marines storm the room. Curtis, having injected the G-virus, mutates. The marines fire at him, and Curtis starts killing them. Leon saves Angela from the massacre as the garden begins to fall apart, with wreckage crushing Curtis. Believing him to be dead, the surviving marines head up the elevator to safety, Leon and Angela choosing to stay downstairs and wait for the elevator to come back down. Curtis gets out of the wreckage and mutates further, climbing up the building and killing the marines by destroying the elevator.The building is then set on fire by the WilPharma computer system in an attempt to avoid the t- and G-Virus' spreading. Angela and Leon jump into a pool of water to avoid burning wreckage. After having shot a glass partition to avoid drowning, the two then find themselves in an underground area. Meanwhile, Claire makes it to the command center, doing whatever she can to halt a biohazard alarm and open the building. She fails and the detection of Curtis in the underground center causes another alarm. This time, parts of the building will be ejected underground.As Leon and Angela search for an escape route, Curtis attacks them, seeing Leon as a threat and Angela as a mate. Eventually, Curtis manages to regain control, telling Angela to run. As the sections are being ejected, Leon and Angela climb up wreckage. Almost free from the drop, Curtis grabs hold of Angela. About to fall, Leon shoots Curtis in the face, causing him to fall to his death. Leon, Angela and Claire exit the building where Claire accuses Senator Davis of the cover up and the Harvardville Airport incident. Leon reveals that Davis did not know anything, and Claire realizes that the real villain was actually Downing, who caused the outbreak in the airport, the disaster on the plane, the destruction of the vaccine, the detonation of the bomb at the reasearch building and the bio-terrorism incidents by selling t-virus samples. Waiting for a contact to sell WilPharma information to, Downing mistakes a car containing Leon and Claire for his contact. He is arrested by Angela.The next day Leon and Claire meet with a despondent Angela. Leon reveals that Downing confessed to everything, which was designed as a sales pitch for the virus to General Grandé. He reveals that he was an Umbrella researcher and stole samples of both viruses and escaped immediately prior to the Raccoon City incident before erasing his history and creating a new identity with which to apply to WilPharma. Once there, he was able to sell the virus to a list of potential customers while researching the vaccine.Leon and Claire say goodbye and leave. Meanwhile, news gets out that Davis has resigned from office over allegations of insider stock trading with WilPharma stocks. A newspaper draped over Davis' face reads "Tricell Offers to Purchase WilPharma". Davis' hand falls from the desk revealing him to be dead, and on his computer WilPharma files are being deleted, which when completed reveal a Tricell insignia on his screen. The film ends with Tricell employees in hazmat suits searching the underground ruins of the WilPharma research building, where they discover a fragment of Curtis's body infected with the G-virus, which they seal in a bio-hazard container.

Review: It is my opinion that this movie is quite excellent for what it is...and it is a "survival horror film" - and, at that, it is inspired with by a lot of information in the RE games.From the standpoint of a Resident evil fan, I was so incredibly frustrated with the Paul Anderson films.
Now for the story: the 41-45 minutes I watched was boring, illogical and(for me) frustrating.So, to summarize: awful character CG, awful voice acting, okay general CG, poor sound effects, poor story.It may be more enjoyable for those who like know the Resident Evil games/story..
there is just too much insider stuff for casual viewers.wooden character animation, and above average vg cutscene style- but a very cool fight at the end, some decent gore kept up the pace.defiantly recommend you check this out if you've played the games, however I would be very wary if your new to the Resident Evil universe, this is likely not the best place to start..
It's set in a US airport where the T-Virus gets released once again and the airport is locked down, giving the counter-zombie fighters four hours to solve the problem before the virus is spread to the whole of the US.I am a huge fan of the video game series; I've played & completed almost every Resident Evil game there is.
Although not many people didn't like the previous live action Resident Evil films starring Milla Jovovich but I did.
This is the second attempt and is the true Resident Evil film because in a game you have movie clips which are CGI and it's really hard to make a good live action film that is based on games.Alyson Court and Paul Mercier reprise their voice-work from the video games as Claire Redfield & Leon S Kennedy and Paul W.S Anderson isn't involved this time although he did a good job with the previous live action Resident Evil films.This was the most awaited movie for me of the year since I'm a huge fan and when I heard that it is a CGI movie, it was like a dream come true.
Resident Evil: Degeneration really gave you the true feeling of the game, like they have a limited time to solve their puzzle.
Of course that, like Final Fantasy: Advent Children, RE: Degeneration was also made for the fans and for those ones who are familiar to the stories behind the happenings over the game series.RE: Degeneration is an "episode" after the happenings of RE 2 and RE 4, so if you've already played these ones you will notice some familiarities, but if you haven't, what you already know by the crap movie trilogy is kinda useful.
Anyway, its a lot enjoyable.Even being a CG movie, it has a lot of action and the movie follows the same steps of each game of the series, so it has references of the games all the time like: the different big and rich scenarios that are more than just scenarios but part of the story and also enemies of the characters; the new characters being presented, each one of them having their very own importance in the story; the zombies that pops everywhere and also the final boss, that gets bigger and bigger on each new episode of the game series.Of course that, the best thing about this movie is the great come back of some of the most loved characters of the series like the best and smartest special agent Leon S.
I have never played the RE video games so this review is simply from a perspective of whether or not it is entertaining.I have seen the first three Resident Live Action movies and found them to be quite entertaining.However, I have to say that the Live Action movies were better than this CGI Film.
this is the third movie i've watched today,and like the other two(Bangkok Dangerous,and Traitor)i find myself disappointed.this is the first CG animated full length Resident Evil film.i found the animation lacking.the character movements are jerky and the facial movements don't sync up with the body language.i also thought the story was lacking,and the action wasn't exactly stellar,in my mind.yet i was more entertained with this movie than either of Bangkok Dangerous or Traitor.i mean it is fairly fast paced.i just wish they could have had more of the characters from the previous Resident Evil films,and with the original voices.for me,Resident Evil:Degeneration is a 6/10.
I laughed when i saw the DVD for sale....I was thinking to myself "wow, after officially RUINING the resident evil name, now they are just trying another desperate move here..."But the movie was actually decent and cool....I thought Resident Evil 1 was pretty good, pretty realistic with the exception of the whole "conspiracy/ trained killer" thing going on...RE2 excited me because they are in the city...how awesome...but it just turns into street fighter with zombies, and has a typically lame story line with bad acting....and that stupid black/pimp wannabe guy....Don't even get me started, he should have been turned down faster than the economy!
It kept it as close to the video game as possible, while keeping a realistic feel to it(not bad for a 3d animation.) The movie felt like you were watching an hour long trailer for Left 4 Dead....which i thought was really cool!
The acting was usually bad...it HAD what could have been a good plot or story, but it's just like someone had a major identity crisis between what a GAME is, and what a MOVIE should be.
'Degeneration' has all of those things and the result is an action-packed CGI fest filled with ugly monsters and mayhem.What's special about this film unlike the others is that this film is animated and not live action.This isn't just animation like you see in 'Toy Story'.This is top notch animation that looks too real to even be called CGI.The effects may not be as grand as 'Wall-e', but it's spectacular nonetheless.Is this movie a masterpiece by any means?
And I mean that in a good way.It was refreshing to see that the story in this movie actually ties into the canon Resident Evil plot, and completely ignores whatever the hell the story of the live action movies is supposed to be.
This is a good first effort, but in the end it amounts to little more than an extension of the story and a way to help drum up excitement for the fifth Resident Evil game, which was released not long after Degeneration..
I do suggest people who want to know more about Resident Evil to watch this movie for the plot, don't watch the live-action ones for the story, because it doesn't go along with the story.
This Is The Only One Of The Resident Evil Movies That The Fans Seem To Have A Positive Reaction To It. I Personally Thought This Movie Was Entertaining Even Without Turning Off My Brain.The Plot line Seems Like It Is Actually A Second Story To A Video Game, I Didn't Understand Being As That The Only RE Game I've Played Is The Game Based On This Movie(I Honestly Thought It Was Terrible, No Atmosphere, No "Survival Horror" It Was Like A Comparison With Halloween (1978) & Halloween (2007) Where The '78 Is The Movie And '07 Is The Game).As Far As Being On Par With Other Animes I Do Prefer Stuff Like "Wicked City" & "Vampire Hunter D"(BOTH Movies).Overall This Is A Highly Entertaining Anime And I Recommend It To Any Fan Of Both The Live Action Franchise & The Games..
An airport, a plane, an office block a collapsing building its quite well stitched together and on that note the action is actually quite good lots of blood which is to be expected from a franchise that built on its level of violence and gore.but sadly most of these comments are let down slightly by the TERRIBLE voice acting which harks back at the days of "the master of unlocking" and "Barry...where's Barry" if your a fan of the games you'll no what I'm getting at.
A little bit of Aliens here ('the ship will destruct in five minutes' anybody?) and a little bit of every other cult action/horror/sci-fi film there gives us lines such as: "you're too pathetic to kill" and "If you don't try to save one life, you'll never save any!" well, duh...It is a very good-looking movie, which has clearly been painstakingly made by true fans of the Resident Evil franchise.
However, unlike another CG movie sequel, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, one can easily walk into this film without prior knowledge of the games.This is a stand-alone work that also integrates into a specific place in the Biohazard/Resident Evil canon.
And I know I'm comparing apples to oranges here, but coming out AFTER movies like FFVII:AC and other top notch computer animated films, it really looks pretty bad.Also, and I'm so amazed that I haven't seen this on any of the posts on this page, but...Tyrant wasn't CGI...the shots of tyrant were stop-motion animation...and it looks like a high school video class project where someone took scenes from a game and mixed it in with After Effects.I was excited to see it, and while generally pleased (Hey...it's a RE movie, regardless of quality), i was let down by expecting it to be more than it was.RE fans, see it.
The studio Capcom may have been disappointed by the three Resident Evil movies the production company Constantin Films made,so they now decided to make their own version,but using digital animation and setting the story in the same universe of the video-games,so we can consider Resident Evil : Degeneration as a "parallel" movie to the other three ones and not a continuation of Resident Evil : Extinction (by the way,the only film of the trilogy I liked).The final result is that Resident Evil : Degeneration is a very mediocre movie with various fails and the most insipid animation I have seen from Final Fantasy : The Spirits Within.I have never been a fan of the first Resident Evil game.The main idea behind it was excellent : an interactive version of the zombie films written and directed by George A.
Romero,with a touch of corporative conspiracies and huge monsters.But the weak controls and the disastrous camera made me not to enjoy the video game,so I have not played any of its sequels.So,I am not familiar with the mythology of this saga.But,I found the story of Resident Evil : Degeneration accessible...which does not mean I thought it was good.The story from this movie is very poor and its "mysteries" and weak dramatic attempts result so generic and predictable which did not produce any suspense or interest on me.Another negative point from this movie is the animation of the characters,because they completely lack of expression and emotion,so they result totally bland.In other words,they are very rigid and so,they cannot produce interest on the spectators.That important fail had also appeared in the previously mentioned Final Fantasy : The Spirits Within but that film is from almost 8 years ago.In all this time,the technology has made a big evolution,so that explains that the animators from Resident Evil : Degeneration did not put too much interest to their work.As a result,this film is tremendously cold and sterile.Resident Evil : Degeneration is better than Resident Evil and Resident Evil : Apocalypse,but that's not saying too much,because I had found that two films pathetic while this one is only bad by my point of view.Resident Evil : Degeneration bored me pretty much and that's the worst fail a movie can commit,so I do not recommend it..
who ever thinks otherwise must be jealous Leon was great Claire was great oh and how about the CG on Curtis miller when he transforms incredibly great overall this is the best movie I've ever seen and I've heard most people say this including my whole family I will buy both the DVD and PSP formats I can't believe I've heard people say some bad things about it when it's simply amazing you can't get any better than zombies in a airport than a big monster for the end the voice acting again was like a real Hollywood movie I was very impressed and I hope many others think this I heard that 80 thousand people downloaded this movie when it was released again incredible please people just buy I know fans will all I leave you with is wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Great great great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Like most fans of the Resident Evil games, I was less than impressed with the movie cash-ins started by Paul W.S. Anderson in 2002.
i think it's the best resident evil movie out of all of them it is much more better than the three American crap version because not only it's following the games that the cap-com makers created but they also made a really really good animation movie of it, plus use the voices from the games (Claire red-field & Leon s Kennedy) and in the movie it also put a couple of scene's from the resident evil 2 game (Leon & Claire trying to escape from the zombies, the destruction of raccoon city, and when they showed you the tyrant, what was created by the G-virus,) which was awesome ha ha.
If you're a fan of the live action versions of Resident Evil, then this CGI flick is likely to disappoint.
Anyone who's watched the W.S Anderson resident evils will probably agree with me that they weren't the best of all films, especially to the fans of the video games.
It's always good to see slick acrobatic scenes with great angles in that seems to be done best when using CGI.Secondly the story is a lot better, and I do mean a lot better, no more convoys, no more Alaska and no more clones; it's what resident evil should be and that's a real bonus for the fans, I won't say what Degeneration is all about, only that it is definitely worth the look.
Anyone who loved the story, characters and atmosphere of the original games was always going to be disappointed with Anderson's cheesy action movie.
The sequence of events felt like more than one survival horror game i have played in the past, and i don't think thats a bad thing.This is what people have been asking for when it comes to movies based on games, and to be honest, this is a great start to DECENT film making from games.
Aside from being bland the characters are also quite stupid, to the point where it is no longer believable, they are worse than walking clichés.Now, here is the big thing, this feels nothing like Resident Evil, yet all I hear from blind fans is that this film is the best RE film ever made....with this in mind I had a look at the complaints they made about the live action films and compared them to what this film delivers:Not enough monsters was a big one from the live action films.
It looks like to make a good movie you need to use similar graphic cut-scenes than of the games, ad-up a few zombies, and of course bring back Leon and Clair.
If you consider just how almost photo realistic that 2001's Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (yet another game franchise movie – with a ridiculous plot) was, with detail even like the movement of hair being almost real, it makes RE:D look a very lazy effort indeed.Summary: Whilst this movie is in no way as bad as the live action Resident Evil –Milla Jovovich (Well, hello, pretty lady!!!) money spinners – it does highlight that this type of movie is based on two very tired formats, ZOMBIES and VIDEO GAME tie ins.
My view, as someone who likes Resident Evil but isn't a rabid fan, is that it does things inconsistently: Some areas shine, while other areas are quite bad.The plot is divided into two main parts: a fiasco in an airport, a short interlude explaining the background behind some new characters, and then the final "boss battle" with a mutating baddie.
Resident Evil Degeneration the first of three animated films based on the Resident Evil universe and these are more based on the games than the Live Action movies.The story in this one follows Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield on a mission to stop a terrorist plot to release more of the virus into the public.
Is someone trying to complete what Umbrella started.The story in the film is really well handled and follows the story of the game series brilliantly even providing some flashback's to Resident Evil 2 when Leon and Claire where in Raccoon City.The animation in this film is excellent really great and sharp and the design of main monster in the final act was incredible and looks straight out of the game's so nostalgic.My only real nitpick was I thought the voice acting could of been better in some places.
I don't like video games, and I hated the live action Resident Evil films.Seriously, those movies were so bad, poorly made and amateurish that I can't believe that they are making a fourth movie (Which seems terrible, by the way) This movie, was somewhat better, but it still was pretty bad, very predictable and boring.The CGI was okay, but nothing impressive at all.
About making a Resident Evil movie that Followed the Story lines, Plots and the Actual Main characters!!!!
But even people who don't know anything about Resident Evil will enjoy it, not as much of course, (also a lot the moments and references will make more sense to those who are fans of the game) but it is still a great animated action film that anybody who likes action or zombies should have a look at.
You can see him in Resident Evil 2(game).What really put this movie into my film closet is the action.
