Resident Evil Degeneration Claire Review

That moment defines Claire in this film. While Leon fights the war on bioterrorism from the shadows, Claire fights it by protecting the survivors . She holds Rani’s hand through a swarm of G-Virus mutations and zombies, not because she’s fearless, but because she knows exactly what it feels like to be a scared kid during the apocalypse (hello, Sherry Birkin). Long-time lore junkies will appreciate that Degeneration acts as a direct sequel to the G-Virus storyline from Resident Evil 2 . Curtis Miller, the antagonist, is a man destroyed by Umbrella’s cover-up. He injects himself with the G-Virus, leading to one of the most grotesque boss fights in CGI history.
