Watch Resident Evil: Damnation For Free

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

As far as CGI and video game movies go this was the best one I've ever seen! The animation was really well done and that's saying something since this review is being written in 2017 for a CGI movie made 5 years ago.The animation is very realistic (compared to other RE CGI movie that are more cartoonish). The plot is actually very engaging too! What impressed me the most is the intelligence of the characters. Even the faceless "fodder" bad guys were smart. They would communicate with each other and actually make smart decisions to try and stay alive. As a result when they died it felt more intense as they would die in a way that really seemed like there was no way to avoid death. I also had a few moments with legitimate jump scares which no CGI movie has ever been able to successfully achieve on me in the past.If you have played Resident Evil 4 you will be able to appreciate a few easter eggs related to that game. Like when Ada comments about the last time she saw Leon (which was during RE 4). However, there is nothing in the plot of this movie that requires you to have played any of the games or watched any of the CGI or live action movies. Everything you need to know for the sake of the movie is explained to you.There was also lots of action and a respectable amount of gore. Not on the level of a SAW movie but enough to feel the impact of it. I had paused the movie a few times just to admire the detail of how bad guys would be blow up or torn apart. There was also (surprisingly) a few adult sections with revealing cleavage that helped show the maturity of the film.For whatever cheesy parts that happen in the movie (inherit of any video game CGI movie) it is completely forgivable as it is greatly overshadowed by the entirety of the movie.This isn't a movie that you will spend days thinking about but it is a movie you will not regret watching. Definitely a good movie to watch at night or on a weekend.

The fun part about animations is that you can do things which are almost impossible to do in real life or perhaps very expensive to pull off. The charm is, to steal a catchphrase, to be better than life, which is what animations can offer you. Remember Wile Coyote running of a cliff, continuing for a short while over nothing but air, looking down, realizing there is nothing holding him up, gravity asserting itself and then him dropping down to the ground making a landing that would have killed anyone but a cartoon character? Perhaps you do.Damnation is mostly interesting because it shows that the gap between real and animated is getting smaller. Although by the time of this review the animations of this movie will probably have aged. This being said the gap is still there and probably will be there for some time to come as the animations are still wooden when it matters, especially when a closeup is made of the face which ought to express a subtle emotion, but which comes over as awkward, stiff and off queue. The movie is set in east-European state plagued by civil war, where the losing side, the rebels, try to stave off defeat by deploying bio engineered weapons which can be bought a plenty on the black market according to Ada Wong, one of the characters in the movie. Enter our hero Leon who is send there by the US government to investigate, but it doesn't really matter for he goes rogue the moment the movie starts as the US has decided to pull out, and Leon begs to differ because he is right.Rogue heroes ultimately always are in these movies.The movie then proceeds along a well traveled path where one moves from one overused 'set' to the next one. An underground garage, an abandoned house, underground tunnels and a church. There has got to be a church. No doubt we also will eventually run into an underground lab or whatever, but I can't tell you as I stopped the movie when the lady president started to do karate with Ada Wong, when she discovered that Ada was not who she claimed to be.All in all it is an interesting exercise in animating which ultimately finds it demise in the under par story telling that is so typical for games and resident evil movies alike. All the characters are just stereotypical to the point of being dead boring. The main character Leon, for instance, has no personality to speak off, which is okay if you played him as a game character, but as a movie character you might want to see more. Of course, if your characters are dead dull, you can make amends by throwing some action or shocks at the viewer, but in this the movie under delivers as well. Most of the scenes are actually Leon travelling to a place or fleeing from a place or speaking to characters. The action sequences are far and in between and hampered by a bit too much manga style fighting, but just not enough of it to go full manga style.There are some shocks.. but nothing an average viewer will go hiding under the table about. All in the all Damnation feels very much like these those game movies people make by using gluing cut scenes together. Only now with the action sequences and traveling scenes added. Which thus begs the question: why the heck did they make a movie with a script meant for a game? And even more: why did they think the would get away with it?For you the question if you want to waste your time watching a game while you can is actually play one.

What the hell was this??I have watched this movie because I saw in title Resident Evil. After 20 minutes I realize that it is rubbish. No one can accept this like serious movie, it was so dumb. I like animated action movies, but this is like watching boring PC game, political speeches, sometimes showing some "pseudo-zombie" , boss fight for 25 minutes in movie final.Sorry, but if I will be 10 years old, I will accept this movie or like it, but I am not. Music in movie was only positive thing.My rating is 3 out of 10. Part of Residen Evil series (only in name) - 1 star, Music - 1 star, Short skirt of president Svetlana Belikova - 1 star.

Loved it. The animation was superb, much better than the previous film. The story depart a bit from the original resident evil style, no zombies , but rather Lickers and some character from resident Evil 4 (the video game); however, sticks to the scene that a Resident Evil movie should be. Some people might not consider this a zombie movie but hey, are such thing as real zombies, is not a documentary that should be accurate is it's a movie and it's a fun movie with great action scenes, especially when the president lady fights Leon and Ada. The battle with the Nemesis was excellent. Excellent movie. Can't wait for another one. I highly recommended it.
