Well... I really don't even know what the hell it's about watching that trailer. But I have an incredible weakness for heavily stylized action films... and so does my wife. So I guess I'll end up seeing it one way or another.
Plus... they used A Perfect Circle for the music. Apparently they know how to sell something to me. Watch it be awful.

Ditto. Watching the preview for RE: Extinction, I at least had an idea what's going on. All I know here is that Umbrella Executives are gonna get katana'd. Looks kind of like Equilibrium.

I will watch watch RE:equilibrium. I'd prefer it to not suck but I'll watch it even if it does.
The longer they molest a series that was already pretty camp, the longer they will be too busy to fuck up any franchises that have more dignified heritages to begin with. Like Silent Hill or Prince of Persia.
Prince of Persia is coming out like next month. Jake Gyllenhaal is starring. Did you not see the ad blitz or the whole thing they did in the Oscar preshow?

Why does the new RE look like a mix of Blade, Silent Hill (Pyramid Head) and Matrix?

I would complain, but after punching a boulder to death in Resident Evil 5 everything else just seems so remote and minute.
I just watched a playthrough of that over the weekend (was bored and wanted something on the other screen while I browsed) and I know exactly what part you're talking about.
Prior to this weekend I would have called bullshit on "punching a boulder to death"... but now I can't. That really is how it goes down folks. It was batshit crazy, but that's what happened.
Edit: alternatively, that section was made by someone with little understanding of physics, but that shouldn't be any surprise.

What could possibly go wrong?
Oh. I didn't realize there was a silent hill thing going on.
Though if Jake does that I will support it like I am supporting PoP. Jake can do no wrong the sexy bastard.

Silent Hill was much better than the usual attempt. It sure nailed the visuals.
This movie looks God-awful, but has a summer movie appeal as one of those flicks you shut your brain off and make out with your girlfriend in the theater at. At least the RE series has since stopped taking itself seriously and relished in the outrageous camp of impossible acerobatics and over the top special effects.
Too bad ticket prices are so fucking expensive I can't justify seeing the movie in theaters. Red Box DVD for sure.
On the subject of Silent Hill, I did like that movie up until like the last 1/3rd, when they started to get a little too wacky.
I dunno, I kind of liked when they were at least giving a nod towards possibly maybe kind of following something vaguely resembling the storyline/premise of the games. (ie: 1 and 2)
Then in the third movie huge swathes of the world have become barren desert and Mila has super powers?
Other than referencing the characters/events of prior movies, I felt 3 was where they abandoned all pretense of it being "Resident Evil" in anything but name alone.

My God, they just blatently copied that scene from the 1st Matrix opening frame for frame. Instead of one chick...its Two chicks falling out of a skyscrapper in "Bullet Time" while firing at Wesker. How come they could'nt have Chris do that in RE5?

Second Matrix.
Or it would've been if they'd made a second and third Matrix.
Which they didn't.

I always liked the First movie, the second movie was enjoyable until alice showed up to ruin my good time. The thrid one was just bad and at times looked like a syfy budget movie. This movie looks to be the worse though, with to much matrix superpowers going on.
The movies would be alot better if they either just got rid of alice or tuned her powers way down.
How can this be bad? The trailer was filled with PR about JAMES CAMERON CAMERA TECHNOLOGY and AMAZING 3D! WHOOSH! BAM WHIZZLE!
Honestly, I imagine there are going to be a lot of ridiculous looking scenes where someone throws something at the camera or comes at it head on just for the gimmicky 3D effects. Hell, there were a lot of those moments in the trailer.

Who cares? We get the Albert Wesker sunglasses toss. DAY 1!
You can tell when there will be alot of CGI action in the scene, because the hair will be tied in a bun or in a pony tail. CGI hair costs alot for an action scene gentlemen.
I'm glad I didn't pay for it but still pissed that I watched Extinction, and after that shitfest I can't really garner any excitement for Afterlife.
Also, A7X's 'Afterlife' seemed like a much more appropriate trailer song for obvious reasons!
It's certainly probable that Afterlife will be better than Extinction, but that isn't saying much because Extinction was so fucking terrible, and this is built further upon that so... They seem to be taking things directly out of RE5 too as I noticed in one of the extended trailers something about a chest-embedded gem thing.

They should've ditched Alice and made it about Leon.
A resident evil movie about leon K would actually end up good though, and we can't have that. Especially if it were 'THE PRESIDENTS DAUGHTER HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED... ARE YOU A BAD ENOUGH DUDE TO GET HER BACK' like the RE4 was.
And we could get Antonio Banderas saying 'it looks like the president equipped his daughter with BALEEEESTEECS.'
Saw it at midnight. I didn't hate it, but it definitely isn't a great movie. You will scratch your head at quite a few parts. Hell, probably the whole movie. I guess being a fanboy hurts my opinion, but meh. I might see it again with a different friend next week, but no more after that.
If you hated the other ones, you will hate this one as well. There were so many necessary parts and slow motion scenes.
Like...
...all the fucking plane flying in the first part of the movie. Give me a break. I get it. IMAX. 3D. Great. Now kill something. And Alice and her video recordings. Who gives a shit?
Can anyone tell us what this movie is actually about?

Saw it in IMAX first thing in the morning.
It was..... Entertaining. I really loved how they took care of the previous movie.
lol they got blowed up and Alice was depowered by plot serum
Yeah, the intro was pretty much a direct ripoff of Matrix: Reloaded. That's what made it hilarious. Went in with zero expectations.
This is what the movie's about, spoilers for the intro sequence included:
Alice and the clone gang tear the Japanese HQ a new one. Wesker shoots some clones down, twirls his mustache, and escapes in a Stealth Osprey while nuking the entire place and conveniently taking out every clone. The real Alice sneaks into his copterplane and attacks him. He injects her with a serum that depowers her. He was so distracted they crash into Mt. Fuji.
TIMESKIP. Now she's flying around looking for Arcadia in Alaska, 'cept it isn't there and he runs into Claire, who has that spider thing on her chest. Then they go to LA. Hyjinx ensue.
I haven't seen any of the movies since the first one, but I thought the third was in some post-apocalyptic world? The previews for this one didn't seem like that was the case though. Am I wrong about the third one's premise? Or is this one just not showing that fact?
Anyway, despite not having seen the previous two movies, and not really liking the first one, I think I might see this tonight. I am hoping for ridiculous made for 3-D scenes and a so bad it's good vibe.
Looks like the buddy I normally see these with won't be back in town until mid October. I hope this survives in theatres long enough for us to check it out.

Resident Evil: Afterlife is the best video game movie ever made.
Now, that may look like high praise. It's really not.
Where Afterlife does succeed, however, is in capturing the essence of mindless third-person action games. Its plot is a vacant playground in which characters can run and gun, jump and gun, dive and gun, fly and gun, gun and gun in ways that just aren't humanly possible. Logic has no place in its world. Continuity is a wholly unreliable commodity. The script is only competent enough to move the player from one action extravaganza to the next without them falling asleep. And if you happen to be the kind of person that can play mindless shooters on end and who doesn't care if action movies have the decency to make sense, then Resident Evil: Afterlife is a soul mate.

Basically my approach to the other Resident Evil movies.

I will watch watch RE:equilibrium. I'd prefer it to not suck but I'll watch it even if it does.

That was far and away the worst of the RE series of movies. 1 & 3 aren't great, but they're better than 2.
I will also probably end up watching this, I'm not quite sure why, but I went and saw RE: Extinction, so I'll probably see this.
Then in the third movie huge swathes of the world have become barren desert and Mila has super powers?
Other than referencing the characters/events of prior movies, I felt 3 was where they abandoned all pretense of it being "Resident Evil" in anything but name alone.
The scene where all the asian gang end up shooting themselves was so retarded. It made me angry.

It seems better than 3, but I could be horribly wrong.
Plus: Anderson's directing again.
Minus: it's taking cues from RE5.
Ill.... probably go see this. sigh.

Didn't we already pretty much have that? In RE4?

its more like a modern rehash of the 'Alien' films.
