You could have very easily confused this with a fan production given the janky effects, line deliveries and hodgepodge elements grabbed from across the series. Well, fan productions probably would've gone for more accurate casting and costuming, but still.

At least the song reminded me of that funny He-man video.

At least Bebop had some charm to it. This just looks incredibly cheap, as well as a disappointing script. In my opinion, you get to have only 1 of those problems, not both.

I cannot believe this is going to be an actual movie released to real theaters that they're expecting living people with functioning eyeballs to watch and enjoy

Why on earth did they use that song? I can’t hear that without thinking of He-Man bobbing his head.

Considering they put it on the same day when at least two big good movies gonna be released, and one of them is literally being Disney animation - I don't even think what they gonna expect from doing this at all.

they are probably playing it too safe hence why there isn't much budget to this. granted the earlier movies didn't have much budget to them either, the last chapter for example only had a 40M budget.

Once I recognized the song I was like "Oh noooo, why did they pick this?". It looks good, though, interesting that they seem to be going for the story of 1 and 2 in a single film.

The line delivery reminds me of...well the original Resident Evil games. So...accuracy?

What if the 1st and 2nd RE games were made into a B-movie level film?

Leon looks so weird.

The Milla Jovovich movies were better, going off that trailer.

That was supposed to be Leon? I thought it was Carlos. Well, the remake version of Carlos, with facial hair.

It's about time we got an animated series about a city of raccoons having to deal with an animal zombie horde.
