If you are ever in a mood for some true Resident Evil in movie format, look no further. Biohazard 4D-Executer is a masterpiece and is what the Hollywood movies fail to convey: tension and Resident Evil branded horror. It’s a movie produced by Capcom back in 2000, and it’s made entirely in juicy late 90s CGI. The original upload on YouTube is old, grainy, and has a bad aspect ratio, stretching the 4:3 format to 16:9 unnaturally. In other words, it looks bad on more than one front. So, I have linked an upscaled version down below, that’s actually in the correct format, making the viewing experience much better. Enjoy!
The only bad thing about this movie is that it’s short. I would have loved it if they stayed on this road for Resident Evil films, but alas, it was not to be. Now, the protagonists feel more like superheroes than just lucky survivors of the zombie apocalypse, as seen in the latest CGI movies. It’s best to not talk about the full-motion movies with live actors, except to say that the first Resident Evil movie is passable. However, I’m not sure if that one truly fits the franchise either.
Is it too late for Capcom to go back to this format? Probably, but I wouldn’t mind seeing them try. Out with the fantastical, and in with dead cities, haunted by the moaning of the dead!
