Resident Evil: Degeneration (2008) is the first full-length CG-animated feature film in the Resident Evil franchise. Unlike the live-action films, it is set within the same continuity as the Capcom video games.
The story is set in 2005, seven years after the Raccoon City incident. The film opens at Harvardville Airport, where a protester against the WilPharma Corporation causes a disturbance, leading to a full-scale outbreak of the T-Virus. Claire Redfield, now a TerraSave activist, is present at the airport and caught in the chaos.
Action is measured. Rather than blur into non-stop CGI, set pieces are manageable, readable, and tactical—gunplay, evacuations, and tense escapes unfold with clear geography and purpose.
