Jill Valentine is tracking a zombie outbreak in San Francisco. Leon Kennedy is hunting a kidnapped scientist. Claire Redfield is investigating a monstrous mutant fish that is killing whales in the bay. Chris Redfield is useless, again.
This week on Toonami Absolution, Alyx, Jon, and Sam cover Resident Evil: Death Island (2023), the fourth Resident Evil CGI film and Capcom’s attempt to do Avengers for Resident Evil characters.
Set in 2015, a year after Vendetta and two years after the events of Resident Evil 6, Death Island brings together the largest cast of Resident Evil characters yet. Most notably, Jill Valentine, fresh of Wesker’s latest dumb plan, makes her CGI movie debut, meaning we finally get to see most of the original cast work together (except Barry, Barry is never in these things).
When Alcatraz is been turned into a bio-weapons staging ground by a guy called Diego, everyone heads to San Francisco to kick him a good old-fashioned kicking, which is very much a Resident Evil film doing what a Resident Evil film does.
We discuss what Death Island adds to the CGI franchise, if Jill’s first movie outing is good, and how all the CGI Resident Evil movies stack up.
