The story is set in autumn 2005, one year after Resident Evil 4 game took place. Due to an as of yet unexplained reason, zombies appear in a United States airport. The release of the zombies leads to danger of an outbreak.
Biohazard: Degeneration (aka Resident Evil: Degeneration) is the first full length CG animated film fully based upon the Resident Evil game series. Starring the hero Leon S. Kennedy and heroine Claire Redfield of Resident Evil 2 (for Play Station), Degeneration is a film much anticipated by fans. Please note that the live movie trilogy is unrelated to the games beside the borrowed character names and the fate of Raccoon City.
Story:
There are quite a bit of background story to understand if one wish to fully understand the movie. Taking place seven years after the events in Resident Evil 2 (one year after the event in Resident Evil 4), the demands to reveal the truth of what happened at Raccoon City continues to heat up and an extremist ended up threatening to release the T-Virus to all major cities around the globe, turning all population into zombies, and here folk is where the history begin...
Animation:
the film is fully animated in CG thus fans can expect the familiar faces to remain the same as in the games (though I find Leon's face slightly different than in Resident Evil 4).
In terms of animation quality, it is without a doubt better than the cut scenes from Resident Evil 4. But there are still much room for improvement.
Sound:
While the ED song is nothing out of the ordinary,
Character:
In addition to the return of Leon and Claire, we also see other familiar faces from the games (not going to spoil it for you, go watch it yourself). But perhaps what was most disappointing was that Ada Wong (Leon's "partner" in both Resident Evil 2 and 4) did not show up to aid him. Other than that, everything else is pretty average with a decent among of character development and backgrounds for the main movie characters.
Enjoyment
Good if your night is filled with some rainy drop from the sky plus being alone, assure you it would be a fine experience to kill the moment.
Encode.
Exellent, this HD version is quite what i were expecting in such size.
