This review assumes you’re watching a legitimate commercial BluRay (not a compressed rip).
Set after the events of previous animated films in the series, Death Island reunites veteran protagonists Leon S. Kennedy and Chris Redfield when a biohazard threat resurfaces on a remote island. As outbreaks and conspiracies escalate, the pair must uncover who’s behind the new bioweapon and stop another catastrophe while confronting personal stakes and series lore.
Jill Valentine is investigating a zombie outbreak on Alcatraz Island (now a smart city tech hub), while Leon S. Kennedy is on a trail of a bioterrorist in San Francisco. Their paths converge, leading to a team-up with Chris Redfield, Claire Redfield, and Rebecca Chambers. The villain is a vengeful ex-Umbrella researcher with a personal grudge, and the "Death Island" itself becomes a trap where the team faces a mutated aquatic Tyrant.

| Aspect | Rating | Notes | |--------|--------|-------| | Film enjoyment | 6.5/10 | Heavy fan service, light on horror | | Video quality | 8.5/10 | Clean, detailed, good black levels | | Audio quality | 9/10 | Excellent 5.1 mix, powerful bass | | Extras | 5/10 | Bare-bones | | Replay value | Medium | Fun for action scenes, not for plot |
The film was rendered natively at 1080p (2.35:1 aspect ratio) by Quebico and TMS Entertainment, then upscaled to 4K for digital. On the Blu-ray, the AVC encoded transfer is stunningly clean.
Grade: 9/10 – Only missing a native 4K Blu-ray, but the 1080p disc is transparent to the master.
