Resident Evil: Extinction

EinEin CaliforniaRegistered User regular
edited March 2007 in Social Entropy++
I saw a preview for this when I went to go see Ghost Rider.

I am so confused.

The first few seconds of the trailer were going, and I saw a convoy going through a wrecked city in a postapocalyptic wasteland. I was so happy at first, because it evoked images of Fallout and Mad Max that I loved, and I was pumped to see what the hell this movie was that I'd never heard of.

Then zombies get added into the mix. I'm not going to lie, I'm decidedly pro-zombie, but the setting confused me.

Then Milla Jovovich appeared on screen.

"That's funny, I haven't seen her in a movie since Reside... oh, fuck. Goddamnit. This is going to be another shitty Resident Evil, isn't it?"

I am saddened, and now crave a Fallout movie.

P.S. Youtube trailer because I hate quicktime and yahoo.

    I really didn't understand the trailer at all. I was all like wha... what the fuck? Why is Las Vegas covered in sand? Why are there Zombies there? Why are they making another RE movie?

    I can't be the only one who thought that the RE movies were extremely entertaining, can I?

    I'm pretty excited for this.

    Yeah but I mean it's like they try and make the decent parts especially bad.

    See: Nemesis in Resident Evil: Apocalypse

    RE4 could possibly be made into a decent movie. Maybe. Probably not.

    Yes. I agree about Nemesis in Resident Evil: Apocalypse.

    They forgot about the part where an obsessive gamer spends hours, nay, days trying to kill him with the knife, befroe finally breaking down and screaming in incoherent rage at the world.

    That's real drama, right there.

    Also I liked the first two Resident Evil movies, though I have never played games, so that may account for something.

    Also, this one is being directed by the guy that did the first two Highlander movies...

    man, as much as I love the Resident Evil games, I didnt completely hate the first movie for what it did. The second one pushed it, however.

    It is hard to understand why they made another because the last one was so awful.

    See, she had a finite supply of talent, and she used it all in 5th Element. And she was only good because Bruce Willis was good.

    She also had a finite supply of attractiveness that she used up in 5th Element.

    Yeah, she did get pretty ugly after Fifth Element, but that may just be because she didn't have the orange hair.
    Actually I'm pretty sure that's what it was, they tried to replicate the success with Ultra Violet with the white and violet hair, but it just wasn't the same...

    Not surprisingly, her best performance was in a film where she had no lines.

    More directors need to subscribe to the John Ford school of directing, especially if their actor is short on talent.

    If something doesn't need to be said, don't say it. And if you have to, say it in as little words as possible. At the very least, the character will seem introverted.

    And the kids nowadays like introverts.

    And something called Pocketmen. I don't get it.

    One of my friends dragged me along to see the 2nd RE movie in the cinemas. Throughout the whole thing I was just thinking "urghhh. lame. crap. etc".

    Then during the movie, my friend turns to me and says "Man, this is such a complex movie".

    He... he wasn't trying to be funny.

    Or you could see it by yourself. I went and saw Black Hawk Down alone during a school day.
