“Resident Evil 4D: Executer” was a feature at theme parks in Japan. It’s one of those gimmicky 4D experience films. It’s honestly very disappointing and just looks like something from a videogame of the era. We had “Toy Story” back in 1995 and the stunning special effects in “Terminator 2: Judgement Day” were nearly a decade old by the time this came out.

Set in the zombie infested world of the “Resident Evil” videogames, we follow a group of soldiers as they go to Raccoon City. Their mission is to trace Dr. Cameron and her research. However, what they encounter is a terrifying creation of science.

Some of the monsters look quite impressive and some are even quite creative. Unfortunately, all the people look awful. They look more plasticky than the toys in “Toy Story”. I mean, they’re not as badly animated as the characters in “Mortal Kombat: The Journey Begins” but the animation here is not much better. Since this is a 4D film, don’t expect any character developments. The characters here are barebones. There are also some animals such as rats and they look pretty terrible as well. I don’t think any of the main characters from the videogames or films show up but you would have to consult a “Resident Evil” fan.

“Resident Evil 4D: Executer” was made to show off the 4D technology and keep folks at theme parks happy for a brief period of time. Fans of the “Resident Evil” games and movies may enjoy this but I just found it really boring and ugly. It’s a shame about the visuals because some of the monsters do look great. I think the makers just got lazy when it came to designing the human characters. “Resident Evil 4D: Executer” outside a theme park setting is something that is for devout fans only.
