Resident Evil: Afterlife - With Some Discussion About Detachable Hands (NSFW/56K)

So there's this movie coming out...

resident-evil-afterlife-movie-poster-1020550297.jpg

Which is apparently based on some really popular game series that involves a bunch of guys shooting zombies/parasite infested Spaniards/Africans in the face repeatedly...

The narrative of which was brutally truncated/annihilated by this guy...

Who's married to this girl...

Who's starred in the rest of the movies with a bunch of other people...

Who probably regret ever agreeing to be a part of this sordid affair between the gaming and film industries.

Well, maybe not the cast of the third movie. That one was pretty okay.

Anyway, here's what the latest movie is about...
Sony Pictures Media wrote:
In a world ravaged by a virus infection, turning its victims into the Undead, Alice continues on her journey to find survivors and lead them to safety. Her deadly battle with the Umbrella Corporation reaches new heights, but Alice gets some unexpected help from an old friend. A new lead that promises a safe haven from the Undead leads them to Los Angeles, but when they arrive the city is overrun by thousands of Undead and Alice and her comrades are about to step into a deadly trap.

The trailer!

The cast!
Milla Jovovich as Alice.

Ali Larter as Claire Redfield.

Wentworth Miller as Chris Redfield.

Sienna Gullory as Jill Valentine. (!?)

Shawn Roberts as Albert Wesker.

Spencer Locke as K-Mart.

Kim Coates as Bennet.

Boris Kodjoe as Luther.

Sergio Meris-Penchenta as Angel.

Kacey Barnfield as Krystal.

Norman Yeung as Kim Yong.

Fulvio Cecere as Wendell.

Ray Olubowale as The Axeman.

The looming threat of supreme disappointment!

This movie has all of that, and probably not much more.

So it's probably something that we could discuss, along with the rest of the series. How about it?

    None of these movies have been good beyond the first

    The first is merely ok for an action flick inspired by the game, but then they decided to throw all the characters from the games in with no rhyme or reason and you just get bad movies

    While it had a few neat moments, Extinction is the one I dislike the most. I see it as the point at which the series went from being "Based on the games" to being "Inspired by the games". Liberties aside, the first and second movies were essentially the games in movie form, whereas by the third Alice is expressing psychic powers and there's a clone army of her and the world is completely ravaged by disease, etc, etc.

    Edit; that said I'll probably end up seeing this if my buddy is in town, because we always get together and see this shit in theatres.

    Apocalypse stands out in my mind as the worst.

    The first one wasn't much better, but at least they captured some of the creepiness of the first game.

    Extinction was okay, until they got to the clone army part.

    Also, that butch haircut Alice was sporting for the entire movie.

    Blargh.

    Extinction was really the only movie in the series that began to approach pathos (with Carlos' arc) plus it had the best cinematography, fight choreography and score

    I still like the first one the best though, if only for the DVD cast commentary

    I personally think it looks pretty good. The previous films arent great by any means, but theyre not going for an Oscar. I enjoy them. Oh and...
    freakin Wesker and Chris Redfield are in this one!!!! Come on, all you true RE fans gotta be as stoked as I am.

    I think 5 managed a better evolution of the gameplay, but 4 definitely had the stronger story.

    5 was a step back in gameplay from 4 with exception of the knife fight.
