The Resident Evil CGI movies, are they worth the time?

[PC98_Audi]

So I been working my way through the original RE series before jumping into the RE2 remake. I am currently on RE6 which I detest so far, but I've been curious about how those 3 CGI movies hold up since they take place around RE6 in the canon timeline. Are they actually worth watching at all? I don't mind schlock, so I'm not expecting much at all, but if the stories are just nonsensical or boring I figure I'll skip them.

I have the Biohazard The Stage DVD which I actually greatly enjoyed watching though that's a stageplay starring Rebecca, and that 4D Executer film is kinda cool I guess.

I only know this is the most amazing thing I ever saw:

 

[Spinky]

Degeneration is ass, I remember nothing about it. Damnation had some kinda cool action scenes/fanservice, and Vendetta is batshit madness and OTT action stupidity so it's hard to forget.

They're all pretty bad, but the latter two can be entertaining.

 

[NightShift]

Degeneration and Damnation are pretty bad but watchable. Vendetta is good just for the action scenes which are all the dumb shit you can do in RE6 come to life.

 

[Arklite]

The stories aren't much better than what's in the games, maybe a bit better dialogue. If you really like the RE cast they're a fun but shallow watch.

 

[Khanimus]

Oh hell no.

 

[Sgt. Demblant]

I saw the first two and thought they were garbage.

Okay, it looks like they got better. This is art.

 

[Lynchian Anomaly]

They suck but in a good way.

 

[Vito]

Depends.

Do you care about the canon of the series? If so then go ahead.

Vendetta is really good.

 

[lowlifelenny]

They all have their moments but the third one is the only one I'd consider approaching 'good' status.

The Wesker's fight with Chris on RE Code Veronica should be like this, without the Matrix stuff.

 

[ThatMeanScene]

I would say no. If anything they should be ignored. I pretend they don't exist.

 

[dlauv]

Damnation was alright, but Degeneration was the worst piece of shit.

I haven't gotten very far into Vendetta because it was kind of boring.

 

[Astandahl]

They are borderline experimental.

 

[Deleted member 419]

Not good but they are worth the time regardless. Fun action romps that capture the feel of action-RE perfectly. They get progressively better as they go on. Vendetta looks amazing in 4K HDR.

You think that's nuts, here's Chris and Leon going full-on John Wick against zombies.



Vendetta is crazy in the best way possible.

 

[Jawmuncher]

They're definitely worth the time. Just know that it starts slow and each movie ramps it up.

 

[Lukemia SL]

They're so bad they're good.

Leon is waaaaay overpowered in these movies. In a good way.

 

[VaporSnake]

I don't think they are worth your time tbh. I simply don't think RE has much potential in movie format.

 

[ThereAre4Lights]

They are mostly fun with some boring stretches, pure dumb popcorn movies. If you're a RE fan, they're worth it for a Saturday movie night.

 

[shaneo632]

Hyper-convoluted nonsense with awful dialogue and acting.

 

[Cess007]

I admit I only watched Degeneration for Claire

Fam...If only leon could do all that cool shit in-game. but yeah, i'm gonna check vendetta out just for the hell of it now.

 

[InspectaDekka]

I'm baffled as to why they make these films?

Do they make bank or something?

Amazing

Especially at 1:48 ish where background female zombie has to hit her mark for Leon to dodge

 

[Dragon1893]

Degeneration is decent. The others aren't worth your time.

Edit: meant Degeneration.

Lol, this is Grade A powerfantasy shit. Mustve been fun to mocap.

Enjoyable for what they are

You know, this made me realize, why don't they ever use Jill for these movies? What does modern Capcom have against her?

 

[Siggy-P]

 

[Temperance]

+1 for Vendetta, it was a major improvement over the that came before it.

 

[KDC720]

They're all pretty watchable, not great mind you but as far as CG videogame adaptations go they're decent.

I'd say give them a go if you like the RE universe.

 

[disillusion386]

They're so bad.

I love them.

 

[Patazord]

Very bad but it's fun to watch them at least once.

[Spinky]

The reactions to Vendetta in here are just the best.

That movie is so fucking dumb. At times the action is kind of impressive, but usually it's so unabashedly stupid it's incredible. I'd post a gif of my favourite moment but I don't even want to spoil it.

 

[Andres]

Why watch Degeneration when you can just play the game!

 

[Linkura]

Holy Christ the clips posted here are amazing.

 

[Dr. Caroll]

They've very much worth watching if you're a fan of action Resident Evil, Resident Evil lore, or the arcs of characters such as Leon. For example, Damnation sheds light on why Leon is so bitter in RE6. And Vendetta continues that arc.

Vendetta (the real RE7) is fantastic.

Top notch action/gun scenes and Rebecca is adorable.

 

[Kyle Cross]

Only good one is Damnation. Loaded with fanservice for RE fans. Degeneration is trash, and Vendetta is no better outside of a few zany moments which you're better off watching clips of. Vendetta also really fucks up with established characters. Rebecca was finally brought back only to be used very inappropriately and Leon was turned into a literal asshole drunk who at one point grenades a busy highway with complete disregard to the driving civilians... to kill a zombie dog.

 

[TeraDax]

Hum, kinda hard to say! They are pretty dumb, but in the end, I enjoyed all three!

 

[Alec]

Are they canon?

 

[Manu]

The writing is in par with the games, so if you enjoy the lore and characters go for it.
