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:

Factual errors: The Marines in the movie are wearing ACU BDUs, a pattern used by the Army. They should be wearing MARPAT.

Quotes:

Senator Ron Davis: [Reaction To Rani's crying for her aunt] Kids! They can be such a pain in the ass.
Claire Redfield: [Claire slaps Ron David hard] Bastard! That little girl is going to have nightmares the rest of her life because of you!

Its sad...its better than the live action versions

For an all CG, sorta on the fence of the uncanny valley movie, its way way better than the last 2 resident evil movies that came out here in the states. CG wise it's no Final Fantasy or Pixar film, but honestly, story wise and even the acting in the voice overs come off as more natural than the last 2 movies in the American Franchise. Its a shame. Capcom should have done the movies themselves to begin with instead of giving it to Anderson. Just to repeat myself...the voice acting on this movie is really surprisingly well acted. And there are really some gruesome and scary parts in it. I'm no fan boy, far from it, but future animation film producers need to take note on how seriously these filmmakers took the "acting" on this movie.
