Resident Evil: Death Island is an underwhelming scuffle with the undead, full of fan service and jerky animation. eli_gonzalez11's review:
) and latest installment and, similarly to the rest, its appeal is relatively limited to die-hard fans who are eager to know what the stalwart protagonists of the franchise are up to in between their bigger missions.falls into the same pitfalls as these prior movies, as its heavy heapings of fan service can’t make up for its undercooked characters and anemic climax.
, we follow nearly every protagonist from the games as they’re drawn to Alcatraz Island, the origin point of a new infectious outbreak. Jill Valentine has recently rejoined her former bioterrorism task force team alongside Chris Redfield ; Leon S. Kennedy is on a mission to track down a rogue robotics engineer; Rebecca Chambers is trying to develop a vaccine for a new virus; and, as part of her NGO work, Claire Redfield receives a call after a beached orca is found with strange bite marks.
Admittedly, in some ways, this is a step up from the previous installments in the film series, where the women leads from the games, such as Claire and Rebecca, were repeatedly and needlessly turned into damsels in distress. Still, aside from avoiding sidelining these characters,does little with its fan favorites.
Still, there are a few original characters whose futures aren’t written, like the new big bad Dylan Blake . He’s a man radicalized by a world where corporations profit off the creation of bioweapons while nation-states such as the U.S. attempt to cover up their involvement in their development. Broadly speaking, this vision of a capitalism-fueled horrorshow continues to have quite a bit of bite, and this remains the series’ most unique element compared to other stories about the walking dead.
