Resident Evil: Vendetta

In this animated thriller set in a world of bio threats, a ruthless foe with a vendetta unleashes a vicious virus that spreads through a bustling city. BSAA captain Chris Redfield calls on old allies Leon S Kennedy and Rebecca Chambers to halt the killer before it mutates beyond control. As the trio tracks the pathogen through streets, labs, and shadowed corridors, they face a corrupt network hungry for power and profit. The mission tests their teamwork and grit as they race to protect innocent lives while unraveling who profits from the chaos. The action blends horror, sci fi and survival in true Resident Evil fashion. The animation blends tight fight choreography with moody cityscapes and eerie lab sequences, giving the film a brisk rhythm that keeps the tension high even between explosions.

Directed by Takanori Tsujimoto, it adapts Capcom's Resident Evil world with a script by Makoto Fukami and Shinji Mikami. The film is part of the franchise's animated canon and was released in 2017, featuring a capable voice cast that brings familiar characters to life.

Within fan circles Vendetta helped widen the animated Resident Evil universe and sparked discussion about how the games translate to motion. Viewers point to its kinetic action and the way the team dynamics between Redfield Kennedy and Chambers drive the plot, while admiring the franchise's evolving visual style.

Critics offered a mixed response, and fans generally viewed the film as a solid entry for an animated tie in. Core themes include bioterrorism, moral cost of revenge, and the pressure to protect civilians, underscoring the series long standing questions about power and responsibility.

Box office receipts were modest with a worldwide gross around 256,320 dollars. The numbers reflect a niche audience rather than a broad theatrical push, which is typical for animated Resident Evil features released primarily for dedicated fans.
