This is especially the case for some of the initial gnarly zombie makeup effects with chewed-up faces or ghastly neck wounds. Shot digitally, the image carries impeccable detail for facial features, clothing, and some incredible attention to detail for set design and locations replicating even the tiniest details from the games. In keeping with the games, this is a pretty damn dark and shadowy film with only patches of light and color where any number of horrors can lurk. While the film might not be much to talk about, leave it to Sony to deliver an excellent native 4K 2160p Dolby Vision HDR (with HDR10) transfer. The disc loads to trailers for other upcoming Sony releases before arriving at a static image main menu with the bonus features lined up on the right side of the screen.
The discs are housed in a sturdy two-disc case with identical slipcover artwork. Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City arrives on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray from Sony in a two-disc 4K UHD + Blu-ray + Digital set. Vital Disc Stats: The 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray It’s entertaining, it has its moments with some great nods to the games, but yeah, it’s another missed opportunity. I guess the best thing I can say for Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon city is that it’s not any worse than the other live-action films. Which is pretty much par for the course with this film series. But by the third act, all of the creepy practical effects-driven terrors have given away to some pretty terrible CGI effects work with a plot that becomes more convoluted by the minute. Had the film stuck to one location or didn’t try to divide the groups this could have been something. Johannes Roberts’ screenplay just can’t manage multiple locations and any tension and terror quickly slips away. The biggest issue is when the cast of characters is split between the creepy mansion of the first game and the Raccoon City streets of the second and third games. Sadly, once the second half kicks in the film became an undercooked ill-conceived mess. I missed this in theaters having only read some pretty harsh reviews and I started to wonder if critics didn’t completely miss the mark. It takes its time, slowly introduces characters, adds some creepy elements early with an orphanage sequence throwing in numerous callbacks to the games. The first half of Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City is dynamite stuff. Even though they’re silly, I enjoyed both 47 Meters Down films and thought his knack for staging fright sequences would work well for a back-to-basics take on the franchise. I was excited when it was announced that Roberts was taking on the series.
RESIDENT EVIL FINAL CHAPTER FULL MOVIE SALE SERIES
But somehow the series never quite translates to live-action movies. They’re essentially interactive zombie movies with more grotesque and horrific monster villains from one installment to the next. The Resident Evilgames aren’t complicated.
This should have been an easy win, slam dunk.
To take charge of the franchise and bring it back to its video game roots, Sony turned to 47 Meters Down director Johannes Roberts. The original six films deviated wildly from the video game series growing more and more ridiculous with each entry until 2016’s absurd Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. Which to be honest was probably a good idea. Anderson and starring Milla Jovovich, Sony felt it was time to reboot the franchise.
