Resident Evil: The Complete Collection 4K Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Martin Liebman November 22, 2020

Sony's 'Resident Evil' UHD box set includes the six live-action films -- 'Resident Evil,' 'Resident Evil: Apocalypse.' 'Resident Evil: Extinction,' 'Resident Evil: Afterlife,' 'Resident Evil: Retribution,' and 'Resident Evil: The Final Chapter.' This set does not include the digitally animated films ('Degeneration,' 'Damnation, 'Vendetta,'). All of the UHD discs include new supplements. Four are new to UHD. The carryovers appear to repurpose the same video and audio transfers, though some bitrate discrepancies do exist. See below for links to film reviews and the appropriate UHD video and audio links. Note that all of the scores above are not a crude average but rather a generalized response to the entire collection.

Resident Evil: The Complete Collection 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras 

Sony brings the six-film, 12-disc Resident Evil collection to the UHD format with all dix discs housed in their own DigiPak-style cases, all with inner and outer artwork that generally favor a target color and depict images of Alice. They are housed in a box with a removeable top and a cutout for the Umbrella logo on the front. The box includes a single Movies Anywhere digital copy sheet with codes for all six films on it. Also included is a color booklet that offers images, a plot blurb, Blu-ray and UHD special features listings, and a billing block on each page for each film.

Resident Evil: The Complete Collection 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

Though none are classics, the Resident Evil films reach towards the current pinnacle of the video game adaptation genre. It's been a fun journey returning to the world and experiencing each film on the UHD format, four for the first time and two returning for a second release. The picture and sound qualities across the board are terrific, with the four newly released films showing a level of polish and improvement over aging Blu-ray counterparts that alone make the set worthwhile. Sony has even thrown in a few new supplements on top of the collected legacy extras which appear on the included Blu-ray discs. The packaging isn't particularly noteworthy, and it's curious that there's no SteelBook companion. The DigiPaks are adequate replacements but somewhat bland in the aggregate. Despite the so-so packaging, this set comes very highly recommended for what matters: the first-rate video and audio presentations.
