It’s a strange attempt to mash together Resident Evil 1, Resident Evil 2 with a bit of Code Veronica on top.
There is some notion that they knew what they were doing. First Aid Spray, Umbrella logos, Dr Birkin, Spenser Mansion. They did reconstruct the original intro of Resident Evil 2, the one with the truck, quite faithfully. And the one from Resident Evil 1 is pretty accurate as well.
Leon S. Kenney is a bit more… Middle Eastern, than what I’d expect. And Jill is also a little more… black.
They made Wesker one of the regular cops, friend of Jill. And mostly a clueless guy.
Then there’s Chris and Claire Redfield that were kids in an Umbrella orphanage. Completely unnecessary, I think. What purpose does this detail has, except a way of bringing Claire and Leon to the underground train, really?
I had zero expectations. But still, I mostly wished this would be over.
