History YMMV / ResidentEvilDeathIsland

* UnintentionalUncannyValley: Some of the CGI can evoke this, as characters' faces sometimes look plastic and unemotional (and they don't blink), and their body movements look awkward and robotic.

** Continuing from ''Anime/ResidentEvilVendetta'', this movie delves into the ethics of the heroes' cause. This time, the villain correctly points out that Leon is working for a corrupt government that is just as every bit as guilty of bioweapon proliferation as the terrorists he fights. Nothing ultimately comes of that and Leon just brushes it off with it just being his job.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Dylan conveys some very good points about the protagonists, such as [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil6 Chris's survival guilt]] (or lack thereof), [[Anime/ResidentEvilDegeneration Claire's flawed campaign through TerraSave]], [[Anime/ResidentEvilInfiniteDarkness Leon's morally grey job for the government]] and [[Videogame/ResidentEvil5 Jill's friend-turned-foe brainwash stint]], which could have been used as motivations and development for the characters within the story, making their converging at Alcatraz for personal reasons more justified and the overcoming of each being used as another way of painting them as TrueCompanions (even if those statements are not entirely accurate). Helping matters is Dylan being a former Umbrella employee with a somewhat tragic backstory, which could have made the plot come full circle for the whole franchise. Unfortunately, apart from Jill seeking to atone for actions committed while brainwashed, this potential plot line goes nowhere. As a result, the idea of all the protagonists working together can feel very generic and flat given the rather small stakes, with the characters only justification for getting involved in the main conflict being that Dylan specifically targeted them (which contributed to his plan failing, leading to some [[Main/FridgeLogic Fridge Logic]], as although he didn't intend to survive, clearly he intended for the plan to work).

** In general, many people are interested in the movie solely because this would be the first time that five of the biggest names from the original ''Resident Evil'' trilogy ([[VideoGame/ResidentEvil1 Chris, Jill,]] [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 Leon, Claire]] and [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil0 Rebecca]]) share the same screen together.

* TearJerker: Jill harbors a lot of regret for her actions when brainwashed by Wesker back in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5'', something that saddens her long-time friends Chris and Rebecca, who both make it clear to her that they don't blame her for anything that happened.

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome
** Jill and Leon's brief duel. Both fighters match each other skillfully but unlike [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil6 Leon's fight with Chris]], Jill actually manages to land a hit on Leon.
** The five protagonists uniting against mutated Dylan, a scene fans have been waiting for years.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Dylan conveys some very good points about the protagonists, such as [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil6 Chris's survival guilt]] (or lack thereof), [[Anime/ResidentEvilDegeneration Claire's flawed campaign through TerraSave]], [[Anime/ResidentEvilInfiniteDarkness Leon's morally grey job for the government]] and [[Videogame/ResidentEvil5 Jill's friend-turned-foe brainwash stint]], which could have been used as motivations and development for the characters within the story, making their converging at Alcatraz for personal reasons more justified and the overcoming of each being used as another way of painting them as TrueCompanions.

* JustHereForGodzilla:
** Having Jill's story finally continued after ''5'' piqued the interest of many fans, as well as having her and Leon team up for the first time in the franchise.

* {{Narm}}: It wouldn't be ''Resident Evil'' without it. A prime example is [[spoiler:Rebecca's entrance into the prison and rescue of Claire, Leon and Chris, where for some odd reason, she comes in at a slow jog and has time for a conversation with Jill ("I hope you brought backup!" "[[DullSurprise They're dead. I have the vaccine, though.]]"). It's only after Jill tells her about the others being infected she proceeds to continue at the same steady jog, only breaking into a full-on run when she sees Leon... who she vaccinates first despite ''Claire'' having been the first infected and ''clearly'' closest to fully turning! Really, it's a miracle ''any'' of them survived.]]
