I loved it. You notice right away that the series is from Capcom. The CGI looks remarkably good and the series is very exciting. However, I would have preferred the series to be released as a movie due to its length.

Many people already explained why the plot is horrendous and this animated movie being the worst of them. So instead, I am going to talk about something else.

Many people already explained why the plot is horrendous and this animated movie being the worst of them. So instead, I am going to talk about something else.

Lore wise, this movie events happen in year 2000, 2 years after Raccoon City, 2 years before Operation Javier, 4 years before Resident evil 4.
So, can someone explain to me WHY the characters appear in their RE6/RE vendetta/RE Revelation 2 designs? Designs from events at least TEN YEARS LATER. Leon is supposed to be 23, Claire 21 years old. Do you see the problem, Crapcom?
So I will also provide the reason, simply put, this movie wasn't supposed to be around this date and was animated before the plot date was revealed. Its also frankly clear to be trying to use love these characters got from RE2Remake but its just insulting at this point.

Completely misses the point of what Resident Evil is, and why it became popular in the first place. It is poorly written and makes very little sense from a narrative perspective. Not worth watching.

Now comes the series, which has done... quite well. Right off the bat, I have to commend the animation. Going to live-action probably wouldn't be a good idea after the botched movies, but I remember one Resident Evil movie in particular bearing the subtitle Damnation and I quite liked it. So I'm glad they opted for CGI here too and it looks really impressive! Maybe I'm exaggerating, but for me it's absolutely gorgeous. Appearance-wise, the series absolutely rocks. Where it gets worse though, unfortunately, is the story itself. It's good, but it just doesn't let up. At first it was still going and I thought it was just going to be an introduction, but it every episode is a ton of action and like don't get me wrong. It's a wonderful show so at least you can say you won't be bored. For me though, it's too much for Resident Evil and every now and then I think they could have slowed it down and thrown in some of that horror feel. Here you just keep watching the action and there is hardly any stopping. For me, the action pace is the biggest minus of the series. What else I don't quite understand is why they made it into a series. There are 4 episodes in total and each one lasts less than half an hour. It could have easily been a movie... Closed. Bottom line. Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness is an above average series for me, and I would probably only recommend it to fans of the series. Expand

His second plus, which I would like to note, is the return of one of the most beloved by fans and one of the oldest duos of Resident Evil - Leon and Claire. I would also very much like to say about the excellent design of characters and locations. Of the minuses, I can single out the fact that the first season is rather short, perhaps if there is a second season (and it should be), then the episodes will become more or they themselves will become longer. In general, let's see what will happen to the series in the future. And one more disadvantage that follows from the previous one - events happen quite quickly, which is why you don't have time to get into the new characters, and Leon and Claire interact quite a bit with each other. Strong 9/10, since despite all the disadvantages, they are covered by more significant advantages. I advise you to look and already form your opinion. Expand

Incoherent mass of scenes. While the "plot" follows the typical tropes of the RE Franchise, the way it is assembled is utterly unbelievable. I found myself more disappointed with every next scene...

The animation varies from excellent, to complete garbage. The dialogue is mostly childish and is strictly there to pad out the run time. Many of the details are comical such as being 12 km from the coast of a country is just STARTING to enter their territory, or a lot of packing tape on door handle of an apartment being proof no one had been inside (as if tape cannot easily be replaced). This was clearly not written by anyone that cares about anything other than sounding cool. I wanted to stop watching after episode 2 but pushed through the other two so that I could leave a comprehensive review.

This is a 4/10 unless you are knowledgeable about Resident Evil (which the people behind this were clearly not), then it would be in the 1-2/10 range due to all the broken continuity.

Mais 4 épisodes seulement, ce qui fait un peu court… j’ignore s’il y aura une autre saison vu que la conclusion… conclut ce petit arc narratif en soi.

Un peu court certes mais très dense, car on ne s’ennuie pas une seconde ! évidemment, quelques raccourcis peuvent faire tiquer mais les rebondissements sont bien amenés dans l’ensemble… RE n’est de toute façon pas une franchise d’un grand réalisme, c’est peu de le dire… mais elle sait briller dans ses adaptations sur le petit ou grand écran (en général), nous faisant oublier les jeux tout pourris dont elle est issue, bien entendu.

A noter que la réalisation (en dehors de l’aspect graphique) reste étonnamment soignée et vraiment bien fichue (tout comme l’excellente VF), surtout pour une série… dommage qu’elle soit aussi courte, tout de même ! on en voulait davantage… mais wait & see, après tout !

I get that they were not going to make a series about the Racoon city incident because of the newly remade games, and I am glad that they were willing to go out of their comfort zone and create a new story, but it didn't went very well in my opinion. The story is one of the worse when it comes to RE games but it is surely better than the live-action movies. The 4 episode runtime is barely enough for the story to fit all its components into place. I think that one more episode would surely help the otherwise lackluster pacing full of flashbacks and the breakneck tempo. I do have to say that the animation looked good. I doubt that there will be a season 2, but if it comes out sometime in the future I will probably watch it to see if they can improve on the miss-steps, not mistakes, of this season 1. I believe somewhere deep there is a potential for a good story. If you have an hour and something of free time and you are a RE fan, I would consider watching it, but if you decide to skip it you won't miss anything special. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am shocked by how dumb the plot is. Let’s recap our villian(s) plan. They were gonna go to China and retrieve a chip with all the data revealing the U.S government conspiracy. Simple. Then why did they have to blow up a submarine. And why was Shen May’s brother in China. We’re they spies? If so why couldn’t she just get on a flight or have the chip mailed to her?

So that plan doesn’t work cause of our boy Leon, who is quick to kill people just cause of simple differences. I get he’s this morally good person but they do not explain why Leon is quick to fight Jason at the end.

Jason decides out of nowhere that he’ll expose the conspiracy by just showing himself as a monster. So why couldn’t he just have done that, like whenever. Just go to a reporter and show them, you know like Claire or something (who is useless btw). And I don’t recall Jason saying he was gonna kill anyone after revealing himself so I don’t understand why Leon was quick to mercilessly kill him. Yes I get that Jason was a bit insane because he for no reason chooses to kill Shen May cause she wanted to stick to the old plan? But Jason literally asks Leon, why is he trying to stop him and Leon doesn’t answer (self aware writers maybe).

Overall this show was bonkers and every character made confusing decisions and their motivations were all over the place.
