Leon and Claire move through Harvardville like they're stepping out of the game engine itself, and the animation doesn't just look lifelike, it moves like a player finally got the controls right. The action sequences snap with purpose, each zombie encounter and virus mutation playing out with the kinetic weight the live-action films kept fumbling. The story is predictable, a revenge plot wrapped around the same Umbrella conspiracy, but that's almost the point, you're watching the RE universe rendered in pristine detail, not waiting for narrative surprises.

Seven years after the Raccoon City disaster, a zombie attack throws Harvardville Airport, somewhere in the United States, into chaos on an ordinary autumn afternoon. Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield, who both survived the earlier catastrophe tied to the now-defunct Umbrella Corporation, are back in the fight. They face a rogue warrior bent on revenge for the family he lost in Raccoon City, while the deadly G-Virus is released and a newly mutated monster runs wild. Leon and Claire must stop the virus before the old tragedy plays out all over again. Based on Capcom's game series, the film is an action-packed horror and sci-fi story set in autumn 2005.
