Trivia:

The scene in which Claire and Leon meet, is a reenactment of how they met in Resident Evil 2. In the game: Leon runs towards the diner and sees Claire being faced off with a zombie. He say's "Get down!" and shoots the zombie. Claire then looks at his face as he offers her his hand. In the movie, Claire goes off to look for a survivor that she hears running around, she looks out the corner of a wall to hear Leon say, "Get down!" He shoots the zombies and offers Claire his hand as she says, "Leon!"

Goofs:

Continuity: When the central garden at Wilpharma is incinerated, Leon and Angela escape through a drainage system and are fully submerged in water. A few seconds later, their hair and clothing seem perfectly dry.

For the Residen Evil Fans

It is important to remember It is important to remember that this is a fan movie. For someone like me it was great fun to be reunited with characters one played in the games. Much to it's defense this production stayed more true to the atmosphere in the games that recent flicks, something every Resident Evil fan will recognize. As for those of you not familiar with the games I won't vouch for the movie, but you may have a enjoyable time watching it anyway.

For the tec stuff. Graphics are all there although some of the animation could have been done better. This is not Pixar quality people say, but do have in mind the type of budget Pixar and the like have to work with.

All around a decent go at bringing a game legend to the animated screen.
