Resident Evil. All Six of them.
Grab your sunglasses and cheesy lines, we're going in loaded!
Already, the movie starts out like the video games (the newest ones especially). Text that floats across a technological background and talks about Umbrella Corp. and Raccoon City. Not too bad so far!
We see someone take a gun full of green science away, while breaking a blue science behind him. This causes a building full of scientists and office workers to be locked down inside. Panic ensues.
She acts like she has memory loss as she rewrites the note to find the handwriting doesn't match.
15 minutes in and I can tell I'm not going to be bored the other 75.
They meet a man who also has memory loss. Red Dress gets a vision that she's married to him. When she looks at her wedding ring, it reads "PROPERTY OF UMBRELLA CORP".
Creepy...
Red Dress and Fake Husband are operatives protecting the entrance to the Hive, a huge underground science facility. Their marriage and their lives were all faked to protect the Hive.
I still believe that they were experiments in some fashion.
Oh, hey, that sealed lab with the guy trying to break the unbreakable glass! It looks flooded with only a few holes in the glass. And there's the female scientist floating by... Guess it didn't work out for them...
I will give props to this "military" team acting very professional and always keeping each other informed and protected. I would want this team on my side!
The lights go out, then come back on. Doors and locks get reset or opened, releasing some unknown things in our heroes' way out. It's never as easy as turning off and back on again, is it?
Examples of "genre-savvy" zombie media are Zombieland, Walking Dead, etc.
Then the hoard comes.
Many old-fashioned, old-school undead zombies start shuffling towards the group, surrounding them. Show time!
I miss old zombie movies.
Oh, and the guards who died to laser room are missing.
Husband (Spence) decided to take the getting before it was got! Now he's acting like a Bond villain, monologuing while holding a gun. (He's almost acting like RE1 Wesker. Not as charismatic or dramatic.)
The Cure is given to Rain and Hacker. Everything seems a-ok!
EXCEPT THE LICKER IS FUCKING BACK!!!
The End?
As a movie all on it's own, it's a fun little popcorn-throwing zombie movie!
7/10, extra butter on my brains next time, please!
Unroll and compile, plz
