If one film has lived up to its title it’s “Resident Evil: Damnation” as I certainly felt damned watching this train wreck. I did not like “Resident Evil: Degeneration” because it relied on you knowing lots about the games and was a rather bland movie. “Damnation” is even worse with an even more complex plot.

Leon Kennedy is on a secret assignment as he infiltrates an Eastern European country in the process of tearing itself apart. We learn that the country is not only dealing with political turmoil but mutant monsters as well. It’s up to Kennedy to try and stop the horrifying creatures as he blasts his way through every monster in sight.

The C.G.I. animation may look impressive on the characters but they are so uninteresting and unlikeable that you won’t care. I honestly wanted to see all of them ripped up by all the hideous monsters they encounter. Some of the characters really babble on about elements of the plot that I just didn’t understand. I imagine that I would have needed to have played the videogames to even have a vague idea of what they were talking about. There are plenty of gruesome monsters for Leon and the others to shoot at.

“Resident Evil: Damnation” is a film that feels like you need an encyclopaedia to understand. Some scenes seem to feel eerily like the trouble that began in Ukraine in 2014. I didn’t have a clue what was going on most of the time and instead of trying to meaningfully explain anything, we just get treated to another round of a zombie monster shooting gallery. Maybe hardcore fans of the “Resident Evil” games will love this but I hated almost everything about this film. I’ll gladly watch any of the live-action “Resident Evil” films over this animated monstrosity.
