miscasting, race swapping, bad acting, bad writing, unfaithful to the games and overall a catastrophy.
only plus are some innuendos

We're you expecting a higher score ? Play the games, don't bother with this. Even monster hunter was better and that's awful. However it scores one as doom is and has to be anchored to the bottom rung.

You don't know to produce a proper Resident Evil film. You never have and you never will! The games are fantastic, but there's never been a good Resident Evil film. Either animated or live action. The sad part is that there was hope here before the release. Between the low budget, terrible pacing(they literally tried to cram the story of the first two games into one film), bad CGI, poor acting, miscasting, turning certain characters into goofballs, ugh...

There's rumors they're trying to make RE4 movie. I hope they get the point and they don't go through with it. But I know Screen Gems and Constantin are only out for money, and don't care about producing art. Terrible.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I hated this movie by the end. If you are not a fan then it is probably a serviceable zombie flick but as a fan this is actually even worse the the original movie. It manages to mix together elements of the first two games but does so in the most unsatisfying of ways possible. Also where the Hell was Barry Burton? Why did you make Leon a bumbling idiot who spends most of the movie being insulted by everyone he meets, dropping his weapon and being the opposite of a badass at every turn? Why Make Wesker be working for someone other then Umbrella but still a traitor and then try to make him sympathetic at the end. Why is Umbrella leaving and the city essentially empty other then for the budget. No carnage on the streets, no desperate struggle for survival in a destroyed city. Leon is literally the only cop in the police station at one point. The outbreak doesn't kick in to full gear until halfway through. Yes we visit the spencer mansion and yes they recreate a few iconic shots but it is all hollow and empty. They go out of their way to use elements from the games but in nearly every case change things to make them worse. And no the movie doesn't get points just for recreating iconic locations. We spend time in RPD but its just an empty building it hasn't been used by survivors as a last ditch effort to survive its not wrecked and bored up and full of zombies it is an empty building with one cop in it and when the zombies finally show up outside and break in the characters just leave. In all honest I though I could enjoy this movie but I think I hate it. it is just close enough to the games to really feel like massive wasted potential that squanders every opportunity to be what fans wanted. Most of the characters don't feel like the people they are supposed to be it adds a whole load of unnecessary backstory that ends up adding nothing. I mean we get Burkin getting shot to pieces and mutating but again in a completely unsatisfying way. Why couldn't it have happened the way it does in the game what was wrong with that? Also his wife is an idiot who gets herself killed for no reason.… Expand

This movie well adapted from its source material. In seeing the other criticism, I’m convinced this might be one of the few video game movies where sticking to the source material gets held against it. This is the backstory I always wanted.

As per adaptation its a disappointment, the cgi is cartoonish most of the time and the final act is literally the worst, The characters were amazing although "leon" felt like a joke others were decent, The story was decent and the theme/environment of the movie the darkness and grim was amazing, the music is good the jump scares and pacing was good and the zombie's and killings were little but awesome, The previous resident evil had the charm and fun This felt serious and little gamelike, The consideration of this movie as a part one and sequels in mind makes this little rushed although the whole runtime right from the start the tone and constant thrills were awesome, The starting bus scene and the police station fight and the house fight was amazing, The orphanage's friend thing and connections were good and the final act it was just a major let down, The scientist's stuff and all went crazy and the escape at last just like that with it the rocket launcher scene it was terrible end to the thrillingly entertataing 1st 2 half's.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Resident evil welcome to Raccoon city is a pretty good film. While not completely faithful the film has some great horror moments and some Easter eggs and callbacks to the first two games. Out of all the cast I like Claire and Chris the most. I kinda feel like they dropped the ball with some of the characters. Mainly being Wesker and Leon. While Leon is entertaining he was made way too stupid in this film. Jill is still a badass . I kinda dig the changes they made with the story regarding Chris and Claire. And while the CGI isn’t great the film does give some genuine scares and has some funny moments.… Expand

Atmospheric, fun, classic Resident Evil. The film, I would say, is for fans of the original game - it covers the first two games fairly faithfully whilst turning into a coherent 100 minute story. The Anderson series of films catered much more for fans of the Transformers action movies. The CGI animated series of films caters for anime fans. This pretty much caters for horror fans and I do hope that they turn this into a series. Casting is good, directing is good, cinematography is great, writing is uneven at best. The backstory is probably the dullest imaginable. Two what the heck moments? That strobe sequence? The Silent Hill siren? There’s plenty of fan service which makes me wonder who this is aimed at? Very much reminded me in style to Ty West (and a little bit of Eli Roth) and Sam Raimi. It also took be back to Forest of the Damned (2005) but much better! Maybe they would have done better taking all the elements that made the original games great and starting a new story whilst still including fan service.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. People who are rating this 10 have to be bought or have very low standards for movies. This movie is far from perfect, and I'm basing my score on what's left after I dock a point for every one of my gripes. The casting is just flat-out terrible. They race swapped Leon and Jill, and also felt the need to turn Leon into an incompetent fool who doesn't even know how to use a simple pump-action shotgun but not even an hour later (their time) he figures out a complex rocket launcher? Claire looks more like a soccer mom than a young woman, and it pains me to say that cause I liked the actress who plays her in Crawl.

Now let's move onto the plot. There was talk this was a faithful adaption? HAH. Chris and Claire were not orphans, Birkin was not a father-figure for Chris, and Lisa Trevor was not some creeper who lurked the halls of the orphanage like some kind of monstrous ninja. Wesker was also not one of the worst, double-crossing "spies" I have ever seen. In the games, he's cold, calculating, knows good and well what he's doing. In this movie, he's far from that. He's unsure what he's doing or even WHY he's doing it. It feels like he just found a phone in his locker one day with messages telling him to do things and he never asked questions, just does them without question. Mentioning him brings up one of my biggest gripes... WHERE WAS BARRY?!?! He was/is one of the most loved characters, and to anyone who claims he's not, I invite you to look into RE: Revelations 2.

I left one star because despite the cringe fluff they put in like the trucker who wrecks after being infected grabbing on Claire (who never met in the game...she rode into town on her own motorcycle...but yeah, faithful adaption, right?)...I actually liked the set up until SHTF. It was kinda creepy and you have a feeling of anticipation for what's about to come. That said, once things start rolling, it becomes a convoluted mess. Why? Because they are trying to cram not one, not two, but THREE games into one movie. That reminds me...none of the settings really worked for me. The mansion felt like it was a couple of rooms and that's it...not an actual mansion. The police station felt the same, as did the lab. Even the final act felt like it was just two groups from different games bumping into each other and going "Oh, hey, you're here too! Cool, let's escape!" I honestly feel this movie might've been better if they had just focused on the first game, put more characters we know and love and watch them grow and face the horrors together.

All in all, this movie was a failure in both entertainment and financial success. As much as people spit at the Paul Anderson movies, at least they made good money Every. Single. Time. This movie will be lucky if it gets a sequel, and even if it does, I'm sure it'll be another movie most people sleep on or just downright ignore. If you have a Redbox in your area, rent it...I don't recommend buying until you see it first or you'll run the risk of getting something you regret purchasing later.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie was a completely convoluted and bloody mess. Inaccurate character depictions with a riddled and confusing cast as well as a half-assed story. Half Indian Leon, Latina Jill... What is this? Jill is a half French, half Japanese woman with an American nationality whilst Leon is a Caucasian/American white man. Was is that hard to find accurate character depictions? I thought Paul Anderson already chose them.
Onto the story itself, it tried to balance between two different video games but failed so miserably. The main plot takes place between the zombie infested Raccoon City and the Spencer Mansion yet it feels like they accomplish almost nothing. The STARS units have a group therapy session in the RPD then head off to the mansion to dwindle one by one by some of the worst zombie designs I've ever seen whilst the other RPD characters do nothing but twiddle their thumbs, go to an orphanage, cry about a tape then suddenly teleport to the Spencer mansion to assist the STARS units - which, by the way, Chris is depicted as a RPD Cop instead of a STARS unit like, how the hell did you mess that up? I also hate how the entire city is linked by underground tunnels. Jill, Wesker, and Chris were depicted okay I guess but Wesker looked totally off without his iconic shades until the post-credit scene - which was abhorrent as it was the only time we saw Ada Wong who gave him a Prototype Virus unlike the game where Wesker injects it to himself in the underground Spencer lab before being impaled by the tyrant, which was also not seen in the movie.
I have no words for Leon... He's simply put: a moronically loud, constantly swearing idiot who can't do a single thing aside shoot a rocket launcher at the end of the movie for fanservice - which the fans hated.
The movie also felt like it was constantly pushing for the next objective without properly explaining the reason: like why Leon and Claire went to the Spencer mansion or why Claire and Chris met up before Code Veronica happening.

Birkin was a waste of time that added nothing to the movie. His "NEST Lab" was a complete joke. It was a tiny room with some lab equipment. We saw nothing of any Umbrella facilities like the games where Birkin was housing his extremely dangerous and contagious virus that Annette was also protecting via their high authority status in Umbrella. Instead, the lab was a pathetic room. Birkin mutates using the g virus however we only see G Phase 1 and 3, but they're so underwhelming that he shouldn't have mutated at all. Annette Birkin in the movie is far more motherly than her video game counterpart since all she does is nurture Sherry, hold a gun against Wesker then get shot in the forehead. That is all. Sherry Birkin sees her parents die then sides with the killers and head off to the train.

I honestly have no idea what the hell they were thinking with this movie, its a joke that they even released it. Its currently at $32 million in gross revenue, which leaves them with a 1.3x profit from a $25 million production budget... That's quite sad compared to what they used to earn with the, still bad but more profitable, Milla Jovovich RE movies.

Now, I'll say some positives. The costumes, sets, and locations were done somewhat decently. For the first time in a horror movie, "let's split up" was rejected... Wow.
The amount of easter eggs was way too much and were easily spotted, but still refreshing to see them actually take SOME things from the games at least.
I'm a little curious to see what they're going to do with Wesker now that he's been given the Prototype virus and Ada Wong is in the cast. We could be seeing a RE 4/5/6 movie but I dread to see those movies made because they're so long and complex that I fear they'd be even worse than this movie since they failed to recreate a, somewhat, easy plot from PS1 games. Really upsetting writing this in such a negative way seeing that I've been an RE fan since RE4, but that's how it is. Maybe one day Capcom will greenlight a good RE movie.… Expand

There they tried to copy a couple of characters, they invented a couple, and then it generally looked like an author's movie about Mila, but not based on the game. For me, all the films that Paul W. S. Anderson made on Resident Evil are a completely separate look at the game, he came up with something of his own, which was watchable during the first 2 films, where something else was like at least out of the corner of his eye on games, but then he broke through the bottom and starting from the 3rd part it was incomprehensible fantasy and rare references, but had nothing to do with games. Half of the main characters became just dummy bots, heroes of the 2nd-3rd and 4th plan, which finally killed the franchise in the end, because the main character is a fictional Alice, and the locations were constantly changing and only mixed the logic of the films more, turning them more into some kind of then a series without a plot, where each part is a separate plot, like in 'Friends', but obviously not like in the film adaptation of one of the most popular games.

In the same film, almost everything corresponds to the atmosphere and plot of the game, and with minimal discrepancies, while even the fact that the appearance of the actors does not cosplay the characters is a huge plus, it makes it easier to perceive that this is a film, and not just frame-by-frame reshooting of scripted scenes between levels of the game.

I really liked the picture, special thanks for the costumes close to the game, locations and of course the incredible atmosphere, because in the original game, in the remakes - the main feature of the game has always been a creepy dark atmosphere, screamers from around the corner, etc.

Unlike what Anderson shows us, here even unenlightened people will understand the plot - since the characters partially voice it and make it clear what kind of city it is, what is happening here and what their motivation is, and not just “I am a villain”, “A I am a hero, I will save everyone.” In general, the film is not perfect, but definitely better than what was before and certainly deserves a sequel, which I would definitely like to see in the context of the game scenarios, and not incomprehensibly what “based on the game with my wife in the lead role”.… Expand

I went into this film, expecting utter garbage like Paul W.S Anderson's films. But I came out of the theater with a smile on my face, because though it may be flawed.. It's one hell of a ride.

THE GOOD
- A faithful adaptation that pays a lot of fan service
- Entertaining zombie action
- It's got a bit of style

THE BAD
- Pacing issues (and too slow of a buildup)
- Predictable and unoriginal
- Clunky CGI (Though in some spots it does look great for it's 25,000,000$ budget)
- Mediocre cinematography (with the lighting and the costumes, it blends together, giving the illusion that this is all a fan-film with a budget below 100,000$)
- Not enough character development/depth
- Clumsy and stupid characters
- Mediocre performances
- Overall, flimsy, shallow writing

If the film didn't take so long with it's buildup, we could've possibly seen more big plot points (from the game) that didn't make it into the film (that should've been there).

You can tell Roberts is a big fan of the games, but he seemed to be stressing over how to adapt Resident Evil to the big screen. But, I'd say watch it. If you love horror and the games, you may or may not be disappointed.… Expand

And owing to the fact that the reboot has a much smaller budgetResident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City may not be every RE fan’s cup of tea. But do give props to the director trying to tie it close to the game’s universe one way or another. And owing to the fact that the reboot has a much smaller budget that the Project: Alice series, we cannot evidently say that the movie is a flop but I can wholeheartedly say that the reboot has successively done its job very impressively well.

We must also take into consideration that COVID-19 doesn’t allow for a full house due to safety measures in place but for me it was all marked seats taken on that night I went to watch; even the front row wasn’t spared.

No one should ever criticise a film just because of casting decisions or because they didn’t follow the original lore. In the end it’s up to the director to make the last say. With a small budget it’s not like he can pull off a Sonic the Hedgehog movie incident and change the character or in this case the whole cast lineup. And this will result in costly reshoots and delays.

Honestly, I had doubts before I watched the film but after it ended, I immediately made plans to watch it again on my next available day off and get the Blu-Ray on release. Yes; I enjoyed it. And no one shall tell me to say that it sucks…when they never even watched it themselves.… Expand

+Some cool callbacks to the original games
-Forgettable plot and screenplay
-Some pretty disappointing zombie visual effects

In the overcrowded genre of zombie action movies, sadly 'Resident evil welcome to raccoon city' fails far more often than it succeeds. The city itself feels more like a town and as cheesy as the original games were, at least the basics of logic were in place where here these basics are oddly missing. We are quickly introduced to a town bereft of common sense filled instead with sociopaths. The lead cast from the games are here spouting needless amounts of exposition and regularly stating each others full names in their sentences. It feels more like a parody. Its a shame as this could've been an opportunity to really capture the feel of the games and bring it to the live action world. That said it is watchable enough to pass time. It only just about works as a mindless b movie horror with all the usual tropes that go along with it.… Expand

It was an insanely stupid movie franchise and did not understand its source material at all. Deep down, I haveI sort of enjoyed the Resident Evil live-action movies from Paul W.S. Anderson but admit that it went off the rails completely. It was an insanely stupid movie franchise and did not understand its source material at all. Deep down, I have been wanting a Resident Evil movie that was more faithful to the video games. Now it has finally happened with Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City. So does this movie do justice to the games or is it another one to add to the garbage?

The most obvious praise I can give after watching this is the set design. Clearly whoever designed the sets for this film had played the games. The Spencer Mansion, the R.P.D station and Raccoon City look exactly like they were pulled from the game. Additionally, there is a great scene in the mansion where Chris is getting attacked by a horde of zombies. It was the tensest moment in the film as Chris was struggling to survive. It was also quite stylistic as Chris, and the audience, the only light source was the gun muzzle and it looked cool.

Unfortunately, this is where the praise ends. For some stupid reason, the director decided to mash together both the stories of Resident Evil 1 and 2 together. The movie has a short runtime yet the director somehow thought it would be great to do 2 full-length games stories in one. This is very noticeable in the second half where the pacing is atrociously fast in wrapping up everything. Character development is rushed, the story is rushed and even the action felt rushed. The final fight, aka the boss battle, ends in like 2 minutes with little fanfare. It was so anti-climatic that I thought the boss would be revealed to not be dead but it actually was. What annoys me the most is how this film still managed to be unfaithful to the source material. Claire and Chris have a damaged relationship, Jill is very trigger-happy, Wesker is a whiny loser and Leon is an absolute moron. None of the characters in the film even act like their game counterparts which are just insulting. They also remove Barry, Rebecca and Ada involvement in the plot which sucks. Barry's blackmail plot was an interesting element in RE1 and Ada's relationship with Leon was a highlight of the franchise. Some iconic enemies are not even in the film such as the Tyrant or Mr X which is just another gut punch. They also completely removed the Claire and Sherry relationship which is lame considering that Sherry is still in the film. They do bring Lisa Trevor but they change her completely from the games just to be a plot convenience. The actors' performance also feels incredibly phoned in and lacking in any depth. Wesker and Leon are also completely miscast as they do not even remotely look or feel like the characters from the game. It baffles me that the director went with Tom Hopper as Wesker and Avan Jogia as Leon. It clearly shows a lack of understanding of the games from the director. The writing is also atrociously bad. None of the characters ever speak like normal human beings and none of the dialogue makes them likeable either. Overall, what a complete let-down and an insult to Resident Evil fans. The writer had no understanding of the games and the director is an idiot for allowing this monstrosity. This movie actually ended up making me appreciate the Paul W.S. Anderson movies more. It is such a shame as Resident Evil 1 would have worked on its own as a movie. There was no need to shove 2 games into 1 movie. I don't understand any of the choices made by the director but I hope he never touches another franchise again. It seems we have another live-action Resident Evil movie to add to the garbage. I don't know if we will get another live-action Resident Evil movie because of how bad this one is. However, if we do get one, hopefully, the writer and director are actually going to be faithful instead of this liar, Johannes Roberts...… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie both insults your intelligence and the Resident Evil series, all while wasting quality set design and cinematography. This movie will please no one and at the same time waste credible talent.

This is basically the standard Hollywood "video game movie" of the Resident Evil remakes which have met with tremendous success over the last 5 years. To say it's lazy is a massive understatement, this pretty much is just cashing in on that success. There are references and nods to the originals forced in with little or no thought from the "Jill sandwich" in the diner to the RE2 keys in the orphanage. While the old RE movies took the games and threw them out of the window, this movie has clearly done the research but just doesn't care to do anything interesting at all with it. To say it's "faithful" is just a massive **** you to the intelligence of the viewer and the fan. It isn't. That's why more than anything this movie, and the director DESERVE the **** reviews. It's incredibly unfortunate that real work went into this movie.

A lot of the changes are just the standard leftist revisionism. Every white male character must be a douchebag, incompetent or a bumbling buffoon. Every female character must be a flawless badass. Very standard character beats for the typical "woke" movie. If that's all you need to know then you can rest assured you're missing absolutely nothing else and can continue with your search for something decent to watch.

The CGI is incredibly, incredibly bad. I watched an interview with the director where someone remarked that the RE mansion would be great on film. How ironic for it to be arguably the most butchered thing in the movie. When they first walk into the mansion it is JARRINGLY terrible CGI. Why they thought they would do that in CGI is beyond me. They immediately switch to a physical set afterwards which is just baffling. Another scene with the RPD reception is as bad. I can only reason this movie went through complete production hell.

What's so annoying is the set design, cinematography, and shot composition are all amazing largely thanks to some John Carpenter fans working on this. I can only imagine those poor souls had to fight tooth and nail for this not to be a complete disaster for all involved. If the entire movie had been CGI, you wouldn't have been able to release it.

At the same time they are battling a director hell bent on turning it into an action movie.

The director has no idea how to use horror or imagery. It's all just gawky terrible jump scares with imagery/references from RE thrown in for good measure. 90s nostalgia music and the Moonlight Sonata are just wielded arbitrarily instead of really used to invoke terror or dread. The turning of the zombie head, the cliché hand on the helicopter window. All played for horror but due to a complete lack of understanding of how to invoke the chill terror it all falls flat. So he just falls back on what every hack knows, jump scares.

This movie is as if Ghost of Mars and Resident Evil made a twisted love child, except Ghost of Mars didn't rip off a video game series, **** all over it then tell us to suck it down.

Here's a brief character rundown for those interested:

Wesker - The dickhead, zero mystique. nothing like the original tbh.
Jill - Complete character redesign, woke-washed to be half-black now I guess. Basically a new character that happens to have the same name. Randomly involved with Wesker I think, movie really wasn't clear on this.
Claire - Terrible casting, terrible execution. Claire is basically an upbeat character in the originals instead of some sulky burned out 29 year old actress. The actress has no idea how to play the character which is a shame because there is now an abundance of actresses that have voiced and played her who would probably do more justice to the role.
Leon - Suddenly Indian. Incompetent right up until the final scene since all men must be incompetent because feminism. A potentially good actor ****ed over by a ****ty role.
Chris - Good guy but pretty much the naïve fool seemingly, probably the most well cast. Sells the fact that he is a cop far more than the others but is just desperately trying to deal with a script and story that is fighting him. Some of the lines he is given are the worst I've heard.

Wardrobe is awful. Fire whoever did that half assed job. Chris and Leon look great, the rest are just awful. Why put so much effort into the cop uniforms only for half the ****ing cast to not wear them. It's the 90s and they're wearing tac vests you might use in airsoft.

There is a complete lack of cohesive vision here. The RE2 remake fundamentally understood how to reinvent something while being respectful. This is just a bad director going "hey Capcom, let me copy your homework".… Expand

And we are only 15 minutes in the movie.… Expand

I liked this actually more than the Mila J, series of films. As I was looking at RCPD building, visuals and environment I had pleasant memories surfacing of the original RE 1 game. Some casting choices were strange, I particularly didn't like the police chief and Jill Valentine, but regardless, I was able to enjoy this movie from beginning to end. I'd like to highlight the character of Effy (I know that's not your name, darling, but you'll always be Effy to me, no matter the role) She played the role of Claire Redfield very well. Some things could have been better, but all in all the singular description comes to my mind regarding the movie that it was faithfully adapted the RE1 game, that's a win in my book. Well done.… Expand

Not a perfect movie by any means - however, in comparison to the original Paul WS Anderson series, this film hugs fairly closely to the source material

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Poor casting choices for Leon and Jill, and recreated scenery from Resident Evil 2 & 3 "Remakes", lastly... it drags on pointlessly slow with tons of filler garbage, and the writers, director and production crew clearly have not played the original trilogy + Code Veronica. Resident Evil 1 is supposed to take place BEFORE Resident Evil 2 & 3 (which 2 & 3 happen at the same time as each other), it then has random instances where Lisa kills the RPD Licker, The RPD Licker kills Chief Irons, Wesker is supposedly a "good guy" that was forced to steal the G-Virus, and kills Birkin and Annette, alludes to Code Veronica slightly, Sherry is almost non-existent and does not get infected (even though the story of her infection is disturbing and would make the film restricted/not rated anyway), no Mr. X, and no Tyrant.

How can you overlook something so crucial to the canonical timeline, let alone screw up all of the events of FOUR video games?
These people that wrote this film have NEVER played a Resident Evil game.

In closing, Resident Evil & Resident Evil: Apocalypse are superior films, watch those instead and forget that this poor excuse for a "Resident Evil film" exists, and a message to the director and writers - YOU WASTED $25 MILLION DOLLARS ON THIS GARBAGE. WELL DONE TAX WRITE-OFF!… Expand

However, it presented a very short horror, with the events starting to fall very low, the special things do not have anything special, Alice's films represented in Resident Evil are much better than the Raccoon City movie, Alice's films are very strong and scary monsters And dogs are very good, so the movie Resident Evil, Welcome to Raccoon City, was worse than so bad… Expand

After 2 part, I stopped watching Paul Anderson's films, they finally lost contact with the games. This is probably one of the worst films of 2021. This is even difficult to call a film, just a set of scenes from the first 3 games that glued into one film. The cast is weak, but this is not the main problem. The actors do not correspond to the characters at all, Leon is so generally spitting to the fans of the series in the face. A very bad restart of the series in the cinema, in the games it all turned out a lot better. I am sure that there will be a sequel, I hope Capcom will take into account this failure.… Expand

Great adaptation. Nailed the atmosphere. Story a bit rushed and some things were translated oddly and poorly. But overall a fun Romero esque zombie movie more inspired by resident evil than anything.

El guión se perdió en algún sitio donde jamás lo encontraron, pues la historia van pasando cosas inconexas. El casting de personajes es lamentable y muy planos (cualquier parecido con los personajes es mera casualidad). Tampoco esperaba mucho de un director que su media en las películas es bastante mediocre y con esta sigue en su senda habitual.

Tiene algún guiño al videojuego bonito, como los escenarios, pero diría que es de largo la peor película de la saga Resident Evil. Se puede hacer una película de “bajo presupuesto” pero que sea coherente al menos con lo que quiera contar.… Expand

Since the writing of the video game series is always stumbling from being fascinating to making you feel like you are made fun of for taking it serious, cleaning it up is a good idea, and some consistency would have gone a long way.

InsteadSince the writing of the video game series is always stumbling from being fascinating to making you feel like you are made fun of for taking it serious, cleaning it up is a good idea, and some consistency would have gone a long way.

Instead the movie is namedropping characters and locations like a Hollywood hopeful at their first party, but that's only a problem if you came for the fanservice.

A few years, and a few billion zombies in dozens of movies and series and games ago, this would have been a decent movie, even though it kind of loses both pacing and plot in the second half. It's not bad-bad, it's just borderline impossible to impress any audience old enough to be allowed to watch this since they grew up with a steady diet of the undead. And since it's also certainly not shakespearean drama, or great acting, or comes up with anything even remotely challenging, seeking the mediocre middel-ground right at the center, it's really hard to feel like you haven't been wasting your time, and money. Watch this at home if you really have nothing better to do.… Expand

The makeup especially the infected makeup was exceptional. The performances from Kaya Scodelario, Marina Mazepa, Hannah John-Kamen, Avan Jogia, Neal McDonough, Chad Rook, and Tom Hopper were excellent. The visual effects were pretty good specially the licker and William's infected form. The only flaw I'd say was a couple of times the writing specifically the dialogue was a little cheesy. Overall I really loved it and enjoyed it more then the original movies.… Expand

That being said knowing how cheesy and awful the OG series of movies were I went into this with extremely tempered expectations, and Oh Boy was that a good idea! The film is super cheap and times almost appearing as if it was a college film. The actual game was like that so I could forgive that, but the **** dialogue in this thing is mental cancer. They changed every single character inside and out (Besides Chris kind of), and even a lot of the story to make all three plus games barely fit into one film. There's such a tonal unawareness to the whole thing that I was genuinely upset to how anything was even unfolding. It's not a horror movie at all, which might be the real killing blow to the whole thing. Half the time it's cheesy teenage drama comedy which really doesn't work. It's not worth the cost to watch and certainly not worth the brain power to view. If you have to see it wait till it comes out for free on whatever streaming service you have, cause I doubt this one will even be available to rent.… Expand
