The first eight minutes of Resident Evil: Degeneration are available online courtesy of IGN, followed by a short red-ban clip of zombie chowdown. Check it out-
At least it doesn’t take long to get to the zombies. As you can see, the animation looks about the same quality as a Resident Evil cutscene, and the dialogue is just as clunky and overacted. Whether that’s good or bad is up to you, I guess. It’s also got a lot of the strange Japanese cliches, like the little annoying sidekick girl who won’t shut the hell up with her squeaky voice and who (probably) maddeningly doesn’t die. This is why Italians should make more zombie films… who didn’t love seeing that little red-headed brat get de-brained during The Beyond?
At least it already looks better than Resident Evil: Extinction. Faint praise, I know. I just want to find the person that thought that Milla Jovovich would make a convincing action hero and choke him out. (It was you, wasn’t it, Paul W.S. Anderson?)
Degeneration hits North America in DVD and Blu-Ray versions at the end of the year (December 30th), but the North American theatrical premiere is actually sold out at the NYC Horror Film Fest tomorrow. I’ll be sure and come back here with a review for you folks. Should be interesting to see it with a crowd, to say the least…

The man responsible for Milla Jovovich as an action heroin is Luc Besson. The first director Milla bedded and got the staring role in his picture.
I do disagree, however, with the idea that Milla is not awesome.
Milla could have my right testicle in a petri dish if just asked for it. There isn't a thing her vaginamancy couldn't achieve for her. Its guys like besson and anderson that truely remind me that I am in the wrong line of work.
I agree Milla Jovoich is terrible in about every possible way. As a model? Sure. action hero, she sucks. She is by far the worst part of the Fifth Element and pretty much the only reason I won't watch that movie. She killed Besson's career and he should send Jean Reno, or Natalie Portman out to kill her. Paul W.S. Anderson (seriously why two middle initials, did he think we might confuse him for the actually talented PT Anderson?) just wanted to get laid and had the budget to do so. I think he paid too much though…
wtf is this? is it foreign dubbed in English or something – the voiceovers don't match their mouths AT ALL
That looks and sounds exactly what I expected a full CGI RE movie would be like. Anyone complaining about the cheesy acting and cliched characters and plot NEVER played a game in the franchise. For a site that fallated shit like 'Slither', this is Oscar-material right here.
That would be "fellate"
Americans are either evil politicians or protesters. How fresh. Looks worse than the Day of the Dead remake, if thats even possible.
Damn, that was really good. It's already better than most zombie movies.
Well… name a better female action hero. (Aside from a Chinese action movie heroine, that is… too easy.) And please don't be fooled into saying Angelina Jolie… don't let your hard on convince you she's any more than servicable in an action role. Milla's pretty good at what she does, it's the films she does and the directors that ruin it. Which reminds me… time to go make some movies. What's the going rate… cast her in 2 films and she'll marry you?
