Greetings from Lithuania.
So the main reason of why this movie was made in a first place i think is that they needed to fill a gap for these Resident Evil characters, since they didn't appear in games since Resident Evil 6 - so the players won't forget these characters, because they will eventually return in this game series, although 7th part took a different direction - they will return, mark my word.
"Resident Evil: Vendetta" (2017) is an animated film made basically to the die hard Resident Evil games fans. If you are not in it and you don't know the characters very well, you can safely skip this movie. And here lies the main reason of why this movie kinda fail in my opinion - i have played every Resident Evil game ever, except for the 7th part so far, but these characters are just sooooo 2 dimensional. They lack any kind of feelings, except of those written in a very generic way. The movie lacks any kind of suspense, when you know non of our main heroes won't die - ever. The script and the whole story of "Resident Evil: Vendetta" is as predictable and generic as you could possibly imagine. Why couldn't screenwriters attempt to make it somehow more original, throw in some real humor, maybe even some love story between some of characters - they are just soooo generic. And while the movie does look kinda stunningly good and i did kinda enjoyed while it lasted, i just can't recommend it because if you will skip it you won't miss anything at all and if you do watch it you will forget it in a blink of an eye. The story here is more then generic and predictable - you have already seen it in hundreds of movies and video games, done with more originality. All in all this is a very good looking but unfortunately highly generic and predictable film that lacks any kind of originality or excitement.
