VOD newsbrings you the week’s best releases on Netflix, HBO Max, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+… And we open in style with a new line Resident Evil… or maybe not? It will and the week is certainly weak. So much so that we emphasize the known bad rather than the good to know.
Netflix
So we start the weekly overview with Netflix’s offer, to say the least: almost twenty original and exclusive releases, of which we can hardly highlight a few, although in terms of tastes, colors, you better look at the list anyway.
Resident Evil
Netflix premiered its new original series this week Resident Evil and… it’s a mess, yes. you thought it was bad Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness? Me too, but at least it had that “resident evil” flavor given by the well adapted original characters with their animation. And what Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City? More nonsense, yes sir, although at least the tone was achieved. Well, this new series Resident Evil he is different.
To give an idea, the story takes place between the past in which the pious black Albert Wesker, played by the solvent Lance Reddick (Fringe, John Wick), but not even for you- she has to suffer her stupid teenage daughters, and a future in which one of them – Ella Balinska, known for other messes like the last one Charlie’s Angels– acts like Alice without the caffeine. But that’s not the worst thing about this news Resident Evil.
The worst thing is that all the plot confusion, character and plot inconsistencies could be ignored if the production was worth it, but the series doesn’t even think about it: even the visual effects are embarrassing. How easy – and cheap – it would be to make a faithful adaptation of the first games. Anyway. Another missed opportunity that only the most passionate of the franchise will appreciate, thanks to its expansion.
So the answer is yes: the Milla Jovovich-led Paul WS Anderson saga, despite its derivation from the Zeta series, is still the best thing ever made, animation aside. At least the 2002 original, which has just passed a whopping 20 years, but has been very respectful of the passage of time (if you want to watch it again and get over the current disappointment, it’s on HBO Max).
Kung Fu Panda: Dragon Knight This is not a new movie of this popular animated franchise, but a series, so if you liked the DreamWorks trilogy, Netflix is left exclusively with this new serialized part of the adventures of the most flexible panda in the Valley of Peace. For more adult animations, scroll down to Farzar.
