Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness - Season 1 [Sub: Eng]

Nobody is going to confuse it for high art, certainly, but what didn't really work in video games and what didn't make sense in the Milla Jovovich-led movies surprisingly does work as a CG four-episode TV show.

Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness has some pleasures for long-time fans, but it's inconsistent in every way and winds up feeling inessential.

Seeing Claire Redfield and Leon S. Kennedy together is always a treat, but Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness lacks a gripping story and engrossing supporting characters.

It's interesting to see this kind of animation, but the story here is just too cliche. Not as good as the other adult animated shows already available on Netflix.

Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness doesn't feel like it's for those that are fans of the video game series, the zombie genre, or even the heavy-handed political thrillers that it seems to idolize.

Overall, the anime is a fun side story that offers a chance for Leon to jump back into the spotlight while evoking a past era for the franchise, deviating from horror to deliver global action.

RESIDENT EVIL: Infinite Darkness is far more about geopolitical intrigue, corporate espionage, and surviving war than it is about killing zombies.

Despite predictability on who would serve as an antagonist, the bad performance and animation by certain minor characters, and the imbalance of importance and screen time for our two protagonists, Infinite Darkness is a step in the right direction.

While there are some animation and pacing issues, overall this show is not only action packed, it gives the audience a peek at what Leon & Claire were up to in between games.
