Now available on Blu-ray isResident Evil: Vendetta, the latest CG-animated action-horror flick based on the smash-hit Capcom survival game franchise. The new release from directorTakanori Tsujimotofollows fan-favorite heroes Chris Redfield (Kevin Dorman) and Leon S. Kennedy (Matthew Mercer) as they team up with Dr. Rebecca Chambers (Erin Cahill) to take down the vengeful villain Glenn Arias (John DeMita) before his deadly virus can turn New York City into a war zone. It’s a crazy, action-packed ride that pays homage to the games while also offering up a thrilling adventure for audiences coming into it cold.
You can find my review of the film in the links below along with interviews from the cast and crew. If you’re already sold on the film or caught it on digital or even in theaters, you might be wondering what the Blu-ray has in store for you; you’ll find more below. To be clear, the following review is of the movie’s 2-Disc Blu-ray edition, butResident Evil: Vendettais available on 3-Disc 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD as well; the 4K version includes Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos for the a/v auteurs out there.
The feature itself includes an optional commentary track (in Japanese audio with English subtitles) from director Takanori Tsujimoto (Bushido Man), executive producerTakashi Shimizu(Ju-on: The Grudge), and writerMakoto Fukami(Psycho-Pass). There are some real gems to be found here as the trio reveals the nuts and bolts of the production from three different angles and reveal bits of trivia like the fact that they toyed with the idea of showing Leon’s childhood but didn’t want to mess with the continuity of the games or the character. It’s a nice peek behind the filmmaking curtain.
