Is this a Resident Evil movie?
Okay, so I will be honest, I have never played the games, and I know that this was made in favour of the hardcore fans of them. BUT it's still supposed to be a movie and as such it supposed to be engaging. This however was so blend and random that I had serious trouble to even pay attention to it. They cast some good actors- who did not fit the characters at all, they made some scarry parts- which weren't scarry at all and they did the special effects in cgi- which were... You know... Cgi... All in all the whole thing felt like a small budget indipendent "horror" movie but those at least sometimes have an actual atmosphere. No matter how well it tracks the video game storyline, it's just don't cut it as a movie, I would take the original movies over this any time. - byronkelly-78657 - 16 March 2024
Finally a RE movie fans can appreciate!
Ignore the terrible reviews! I've been looking forward to finally watching this after the disastrous series and can definitely recommend it to any fan of the games. Especially the first 2!
The atmosphere created (especially the mansion) completely took me back to the moment I first played those games. Sure you can tell the budget wasn't amazing, but what they've done with it was excellent!
Do all the characters look and act identical to those in the games? No. But do they have to? I see the potential for real character development along multiple movies which I find really appealing!
In short. Great atmosphere, time loved characters, plenty of references, and great potential for a much more deserving series of movies!
Finally!
