There is a new Resident Evil movie coming out on the 14th of September 2012. Good new everyone, Milla Jovovich stars again. It looks like it will be another action zombie movie rather than horror. The same general plot, Alice kicks ass against the Umbrella corporation and many types of zombies. Michelle Rodriguez is back in this one again, which may induce a fair amount of rage among her haters.

Here is a trailer:

Really?
REALLY?
Paul W. S. Failure seems to be writing/directing/producing again.

While the first 3 were enjoyable mindless action flicks, #4 was utter shit. It was abysmal. While I might have been looking forward to this mindless trash once upon a time, after #4 and knowing that it's the same guy, I'm holding out minimal hope.

I'm blaming his directing for the crap that was #4, he didn't direct 2 or 3.

I haven't seen any of the RE films since the first one. I don't think I'll see this one either. The trailer looks pretty boring.

Adding to what telcontar just said, aside from a few different names or words its not really a Resident Evil movie in my mind. Just another mindless zombie movie. Didn't enjoy the first one, didn't watch the rest.

In other news, whenever they feel like making another CG one, I'll be all over that.
I'll make it some day. Some day, somehow, some way.

They make good datemovies, because you can ignore them, and they are bland enough to not impact your date, and girls might find it a bit scary.

Sounds like they used The Who's "Teenage Wasteland" and part of the soundtrack from Tron: Legacy.

Come on people, nobody expects a cinematic masterpiece from a Resident Evil movie. They are mindless zombie killing festivals. At least George Lucas is not in charge, am I right?

I'm a pretty huge fan of such movies but the last one (especially the closing scene with ludicrous chopper numbers) was mostly b-grade and retarded. I can't believe they're starting a sequel from that point.

Is this Resident Evil?

Bleh...the only good RE films were the CGI ones, and even they are pretty poor when comparing them to what a GOOD film should be,

Expecting this one to be about as good as 3 and 4, meaning not that good of a movie. I´ll still watch it though, it´s got mutated zombies and explosions, who cares about story and acting?

Edit: Im prolly only gonna watch this cause of the Jill Valentine girl. Shes so hot, her legs could kill a man. And Im definitely not watching this in 3D, I hate 3D.

Zombies != Vampires i suppose. I enjoy both franchises personally. The product placement in this add is a bit over the top, but I'll be entertained by the movie, im sure! Can't expect too much depth from this film.

What in the fuck? This film series is so unbelievably awful. The first one was decent, but everything after has been utter trash. Milla still looks good though.

And that product placement was pretty hilarious.

This. :D

I didnt enjoy the 4th all that much but it was bearable at least.

I didnt see any zombies in the trailer? or were those people running after her in the "light" room at the end zoms? meeh...

Huge fucking licker chasing a car looks fun though.

Still looks pretty pants for a zombie movie, seems like its moved on from that "apocolptic" zombie thing to, well...utter shite

I am confused. Wasn't it established in the 3rd movie that even Umbrella was running out of resources? How can they keep throwing equipment and personnel at Alice? o.O

And how is Michelle Rodriguez' character back after getting killed twice in the first movie?

WTF. How do they have the Tron theme running there?! Total ripoff. But anyway, wasn't the world pretty much a desert wasteland at the end of the last one, with the last bastion of umbrella destroyed by zombies/underground explosions? I'm confused how there are suddenly high-tech armies there.

Apparently they are going to be using the brain parasites from the Resident Evil 4 video game, that may be why the people at the end didn't look like zombies.

The game series has been going downhill for many years and I don't think the film series ever attempted to climb said hill. Sad too, RE1-2-3 of the game series were fantastic, I saw the first RE in film on opening day and was insanely disappointed with the way they took it. Slowly but surely they have made more and more joke versions and this one looks to be so bad I won't even rent in, then again I don't know when I last saw a film version of a game story that I enjoyed. Just my opinion though, I wish they had done better.

The trailer is sorta terrible tho. Needs more hype than half of it being a product add

Not surprised that the first half of the teaser is a Sony ad since the Vita has been doing poorly in Japan. Besides that, the Resident Evil live action movies are great fan service movies. I'm not saying they are amazing or anything, but they are entertaining to watch. I am a huge Resident Evil fan for the games and watching the live action is whatever to me. I know that die hard fans hate this shit, but hey, nothing you can do about it except don't watch it.

It will probably be a mix of prequel and sequel. This movie is suppose to have a "big" twist.

Resident Evil is at its best in the gamecube remake (resident evil 1 afaik) and also resident evil 0, both for gamecube.
Very good graphics even today, extremely solid atmosphere, definately the peak of the series.

As a RE fan I think the movies are piss-poor, the first one was the best, now things are just WAY out of hand, jsut like the game series in general... (even though 4 & 5 are good action games they shouldnt be titled RE tbfh)

You did not see the huge mass of people outside the gates?

The return of Rodriguez's character is obviously apart of the "mind blowing revelations" in this movie...

Alice is captured by Umbrella and awakens in the heart of their operation facility; as she moves further in the complex more of her past is unveiled and continues to hunt for those responsible for the outbreak. Her quest takes her and her newfound allies from Tokyo to New York, Washington D.C. and Moscow. After a "mind-blowing" revelation, she is forced to rethink everything she once thought to be true.

Everybody expects too much out of these films They are all just fun movies to watch with some buddies and have a good time. Not to mention the fact that the last one was absolutely beautiful in 3D, it did a great job of showing off Sony's 3D technology, and was worth it just for that alone. Plus the soundtrack was awesome in it, the remixed A Perfect Circle song is just straight up amazing!



Anyways this new movie should be some good clean fun zombie slaying! :D

*Edit*

Also, you can't forget about all the beautiful ladies! Wowza! ;D

wow, I can't believe they actually found funding for this! the last 2 resident evils were terrible flops!

I think I watched a whole 12 seconds of the last movie (name not worth remembering) before I wanted to give myself a frontal lobotomy with a rusty spoon.

It breaks my heart, really, because the first resident evil movie is one I could watch anytime, it was so good.

meh will watch it, rest of them were OK-ish.

Some of you guys were expecting the epitome of good making making i take it ?
i find them to be entertaining enough to watch , expect an action film with a little twist and you get just that.

wish they would make them a little bit more " survival horror " like though,
would fit the setting a bit more.

This looks very interesting. I'm definitely looking forward to it. Although these sorts of franchises get crappy at times, it is still interesting to see how they evolve. As we move from film to film in the series, you can almost hear the studio execs hatching up what the next one will be and how it will be different and how it will still harken back to earlier films.

I like RE the moives i mean i rather have them than not, tho i do some of the games and i've seen degeneration and its okay but it doesnt have the moive real-ness i guess, becasues it kinda tired to be too realistic with the animation even tho it was kinda like an anime just werid, but like i said before i rather have them than not

Not really. The movies have been making enough money for the company to greenlight a next movie.

And the original Resi was 1996.

Anyway, they're still making these films? I don't get who watches these. Who likes this? What's the appeal? Seriously I wonder.

It was painfully obvious how low the production value was of the last RE movie in comparison to the previous ones. I don't hold out hope for this one to be spectacular.

Wow, people really still watching that crap? I mean seriously, I stopped at #3 and it was already just ridiculous and from what I've heard it didn't get any better in the next one(s?). I mean it's not really speaking to fans of the game, is it? I wonder who the target audience is for this.

Ummm... what? Did you even see this movie in 3D? Low production value... lol. Was the most beautiful 3D movie ever to be seen! People were all ranting and raving about Avatar in 3D (even though it was a shit movie lol) but the last RE... omfg dat shower scene was soooooooo beautiful.

Also, the first RE movie made like $40mil, the 2nd and 3rd ones made $50mil, and the 4th one made $60mil. Seeing as how that's a decent amount for what it costs to make, and that the movies have been steadily climbing in how much they earn at box office, i'd say it's damn worth it to keep making the movies

*edit*

Sorry those numbers are US Box office, the movies made more in other places as well.

Here's the latest movie's stats from IMDB:

Budget: $60,000,000 (estimated)
Opening Weekend: $26,650,264 (USA) (12 September 2010) (3203 Screens)
Gross: $296,221,663 (Worldwide) (9 January 2011)

Now to me, $60mil budget and almost $300mil gross? totally worth making more

I liked Resident Evil 1 2 & 3 to be completely honest. Number four was terrible for me though in my opinion, like it was just awful how ALL the clones died in such a poor manner.

Like yeah I understand you cant have a movie where she is basically god with a million clones but it was just stupid how they all died imo.

Also the part where she loses her powers was just silly..Number four ruined it all for me, I hope this movie does well, I am really just saying "Please don't suck please don't suck" over and over.

Yes, I'm bumping this thread. Because I just saw the movie. Resident Evil: Retribution. And after seeing it, I can tell you there will probably be a 7th movie. The characters are all a bit of a move from the video game series, but that's okay.

On the other hand, if you have seen the movie, tell me that you didn't think the same thing I did. At the very, very end. As in, the last 30 seconds or so of the movie.

First time i felt cheated for my money after seeing a movie in a cinema. Holy shit this is bad. More than bad. It's horrendous. It's not even a movie, there is no story line. It's just scenes of fighting and animations. Then you get to the end and you actually get a glimpse into the story... but it just ends.

+ Show Spoiler +
Agree with you, yeah. Which is fucking retarded as well. If they can make fucking flying monsters, why not just make one super huge dude and stomp the shit out of the remaining humans?

Bah wtf did I just watch. The zombies seem to be becoming less zombie like every fucking movie. WTF! SOVIET RUSSIAN ZOMBIES DRIVING VEHICLES!

Honestly though... the story line was just dumb and I feel like they are trying to hard to copy the new Resident Evil video game formulas. Just stick to "The Walking Dead" Philosophy... Post apocalyptic more about survival.. Not some bullshit story line about a bunch of guys in leather jackets trying to do dumb stuff.

I miss the days when the zombies were basically brain dead and could just wander around and waddle up to you. I find that a shit load more intriguing for some reason.

Movie was out of this world terrible. So many plot holes and they continue to shit all over the lore of the video games.

When they said the name Leon my heart sank. Not him too

The final scene in the movie was by far the best in the whole thing, so sadly i'll have to go see the last movie.

+ Show Spoiler +
Why was Wesker alive again?

What happened to Chris Redfield?

Why did the t-virus zombies have the mouth worms but the Los Plagas didn't....

Why did the Los Plagas infection turn the mexican chick into a kung fu monster?

Why did the Los Plagas Russians attack the Los Plagas mexican chick?

Why did the big face licker not kill the little girl? Almost certainly Red Queen didn't directly control the undead.

I still don't get Red Queens twisted logic about killing everything.

Why is Red Queen in control of ALL of Umbrella? Each base had a different queen (remember White Queen in 3?).

Why didn't they just put that little spider mind control thing on Alice whil she was asleep?

Leon lost 1v1 with as Los Plagas?! LOL ya right!

Alice literally used the same automatic gun for 80% of the movie, which she had no backup clips for, and never once reloaded.

Then you have a hundred or so badly done action cliche's. The fact that the Russian army of 100+ couldn't hit 5 guys standing basically out in the open (window was big), yet one of those guys dies to a CHAINSAW. Main character syndrome was in full effect in this game. MIght as well have just cloned 50 Jill Valentines to chase the people because clearly she can't die.

In general they also made Umbrella seem too powerful. If you can create that many clones and you're wasting them on zombie simulations, when you have the information from the entire world to look at, you are not smart.

Movie would have been less terrible if Wesker himself went to save Alice. I understand why he didn't though. Maybe we'll get to see him kick ass next movie.

So Resident evil 1/2 were great, extinction was absolutely brutal and Afterlife followed suit by being brutal... Hopefully HOPEFULLY this one isn't, I won't hold my breathe though.

On a lighter note the CGI Resident Evil movie (with Leon) was pretty good.

I still stand by my belief that the absolute best movies for Resident Evil would probably just be gameplay footage from the RE and RE2 video games. Although the first RE movie wasn't bad.

The random cameos from video game characters are annoying. That wasn't Leon. Ada looked the part, but that's about it that I could see. What happened to the Redfields?

+ Show Spoiler +
I don't even know if that's the real Jill Valentine - she has those weird looking back connector things on her outfit. I thought the Red Queen was nuked with Racoon City? In any event, that would play hell with any communications links she could use to get out. As for Rain being a bad ass, Rain is in fact a bad ass even if she's cloned. Except for hippy Rain, which was still a good thing to see because Michelle Rodriguez has been playing bad asses for a long damn time and it's nice to see her able to smile and be a hippy. The Los Plagas virus is just silly. Alice's super powers are part of why the series kindof went wtf for me, but giving them back? I liked her better as a normal(ish) person. And ever since that train left in the first movie, they've just gone farther and farther from the video game. It's not quite "Ultraviolet" bad, but it's probably going to hit that level in the next movie. I'm not even sure that's the "original" Alice, given all the cloning going on. But I can be sure of one thing... Milla Jovovich will be naked at some point.

The first RE movie was actually good, the rest are just garbage. The third one had it's moments because Milla was looking so beatiful with those short pants... and that's the only reason I watched that one, but after the 4 this franchise is complete garbage close to Green Lantern type of garbage, the directors and plot writers should be put out of their misery.

Huh? The versions I watched were English and the lips synced up exceptionally well. They also have a new one out Resident Evil: DAMNATION with Leon and Ada as well.

It's a shame that this series has devolved into a more terrible female version of 'The Expendables' featuring Zombies instead of Terrorists.

There is a new Resident Evil movie coming out on the 14th of September 2012. Good new everyone, Milla Jovovich stars again. It looks like it will be another action zombie movie rather than horror. The same general plot, Alice kicks ass against the Umbrella corporation and many types of zombies. Michelle Rodriguez is back in this one again, which may induce a fair amount of rage among her haters.

Here is a trailer:

I seriously believe she ruins every movie shes in.
No joke.

Also havent watched any RE movies after the first 3, the 3rd one was kinda awful, but i enjoyed the 1st one(despite that fact dumb bitch was in it). But by the comments this one isnt anything worth watching either

Wesker can't die. Don't be silly. The only people that can die, and stay dead, are the zombies and people who are bad but not evil. Like that schmuck of a hollywood producer. As we can see in this movie, even people you thought were dead (Rain and the entire damn original team) can come back because VIRUS! CLONES! Scarab like red thingies that control you via latching onto your cleavage chest! At this point, you could be forgiven for thinking that Alice isn't the original Alice, but just another clone. (Between the massive carnage of the reset for the last movie, and taking a dive off the tanker. Then being in the Suburbia simulation, but not really, and once again waking up on a floor mostly naked.)


I dunno. I thought it was okay for a popcorn movie, if I divorce it from what I know of the games. And I did see an interesting point in a review - they've never had to retcon anything in the movies, because at the beginning of the next movie that super crazy thing that was in the last movie winds up getting erased, violently and all over the place. Of course, it did meet my minimum threshold for a movie of this particular type... Michelle Rodriguez played a bad ass, and Milla Jovovich was at one point mostly naked. Something she started in Fifth Element, and which I endorse.

I'll agree with you on the mostly naked, but I don't like women who wear essentially a larger version of that blue paper crap they put on you at the dentist. They surely could have found sexier paper...

Also, Jill Valentine looked much better as a brunette.

These movies just keep getting terrible and terrible. Its amazing really.

The only reason they keep making this shit is because people won't stop going to see them!

I only enjoyed 1 and 2. The rest can go get lost in a ditch somewhere and get lit on fire.

It's not the worst movie I've seen (I've seen Judge Dredd) but this has to the antithesis of canon ... The whole pitch is empty. But I endorse the visual candy and the mutas.

I am sincerely disappointed by this movie. It was just nonstop explosions. While I like explosions I felt this was a lot over the top.

My main problem with this movie is that it takes itself way too serious. I saw Expendables 2 and it was much better, not because of the action but because it had a ton of shitty funny one-liners which broke up action scenes.
I have no problem with serious action movies, but this one is really borderline retarded and reaaally needs some other qualities to make up for their lack of story. Also dat nerdrage

Also I liked the electroclash sound from part 4 way better than what they did in this part with the music. i.e. Tokio or axeman
+ Show Spoiler +
Which they reused in part 5.


Edit: I just saw that both movies' music is from tomandandy. WTF

I don't think you would get a George A. Romero or Paul Greengrass to make a Reboot of the quality of Dark Knight or James Bond. But nevertheless I also think it would be a good idea to free the franchise from Anderson to get some new ideas.

And I think the second one was "ok" too. Although the final fight was disappointing.

I never understood what the relations between the movies and the games is or if there even is any? None of the charachters in the games are in the movies and vice versa. I'm a fan of resident evil but maybe I'm just missing something or its a totally different story and production crew?Maybe someone can enlighten me a little because I do like the movies and games a lot except RE: Operation Raccoon City ( do not like the game much at all, ended up trading it ).

In the next one, it will be revealed that Alice is the time-travelling son of Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine who got amnesia from Umbrella's parent company, Blizzard.

haven't really played the games, except 5.

sure there's characters from the games: jill valentine, chris redfield, ashford, his daughter.

I know the mansion is from the game as is the hive.. and umbrella ofc. I like the movies, but.. a reboot would be pretty interesting.

Ive played 5 as well just havent seen retribution yet but i do plan on seeing it this week sometime. RE 6 Demo is alright..dont like how when you run you ALWAYS trip over a body, cant jump over it, its really annoying. I did watch Afterlife of course and the butcher is back in Retribution. I thought he died for good when his head got blown off but I guess that will be answered in retribution maybe ?

haha.. oh.. well, not sure myself what the correlation is with the games.. maybe just a reimagining of the story I guess? some of the characters from the games are ofc in it.. maybe I should read the sd perry books.

Saw this the other day, was pretty ridiculously bad.

But not in a horrible way... if you want to kill some hours with friends you can go see it, just don't expect much... Me and my friend looked at each other like 15 times in the first 20 minutes of the movie and just shook our heads, Silly meter going off.

The only redeeming feature of this movie was Li Bingbing(Ada Wong), at least she was pretty to look at

The action was just pure firefights that made it seem like the main characters had unlimited ammo because I didn't see them reload more than once

It's just the same intellectual property. The video games plot is terrible but delicious anyway. Like microwavable cheese dip. You feel like trash for liking it but it tastes amazing. The movies are like a hot pocket you found in a sewage grate. You can't really say they're related except in name and a few throwbacks.

Watched it just to see cute Milla Jovovich (the main character). She's extremely gorgeous and attractive despite her not being a typical ass grabbing hottie.

It had some good moments, like the fight in the early stage of the movie where Alice go Matrix style on a 1 vs 25 or so.

But seriously, why was Leon such a fag in the movie !? He's the most badass character in the game series.

This.... the moment Leon was such a fag it killed every hope of good action for me on this franchise... so fucking stupid to completly ignore the most bad ass character in the games only cause you want alice to own all the shit....

Sp i just watched this movie yesterday, and I come to realise, RE movie franchise is getting worse and worse. The movie has some nice scenes, but thats all. (Loved the intro!!)


However I've been thinking, if we (RE games fans) couldn't write a well structured plot and send it to hollywood or something. It hurts my heart to watch RE legacy being corrupted like this
It's all about the reflections of freedom. Even though he hoped for a better world, with all his strenght, all his will, the most he could do was to make her smile.

I can't believe how with each movie in this franchise they still manage to be worse than the predecessor, and considering Retribution's success at the box office (3d zombies = $$$) there will be more... This is easily one of the worst movies in recent memory

No. It falls under the category "unwatchable". I couldn't stand the constant stream of feces that was pouring out of the screen at me.

The only good thing about it was the fact that I didn't watch it in the cinema as I would just leave the theater after 10 minutes or so, completely enraged.

It's funny seeing the last 5 or so comments saying they just recently watched this, seeing as the biggest scene releases (DVDRip) came out just yesterday.

^ Typical minority opinion; also known as the most common misconception amongst those who actually played the games. I agree with you 100%, but the movie franchise rakes in more money with each movie they make. It really puts things in perspective.

As a loyal fan of the RE games, Paul Anderson's retconning characters of like Barry and Leon was so obviously done to attempt to tie it to the game franchise it was almost painful. Besides, didn't Jill state in one of the earlier movies that she personally witnessed Leon's death? I could mistaken, but I'm almost positive she mentions that in the second film. In any, the action scenes were laughably overdone and purely CGI showboating. Evidently I'm in the minority however, as a bunch of my friends and coworkers thought it was an amazing piece of cinematography. Bleh.

lol I found the bold part rather funny - though I would not even watch it IF it were free. The latest RE movies are indeed abysmal(pretty much all the big movie review portals say so...), and a disgrace to the whole franchise - which generally is pretty cool.

I saw this movie, it's not at all as bad as people say it is, but what I was annoyed about was the sound effects, that part was easily the worst thing. It's like, every time someone even got graced, it sounded like all their bones was broken, but they still kept fighting like normal.

Also, the end scene was basicly like a scene they would have in starcraft with Terran versus Zerg it really reminded me so much about starcraft and not resident evil - mostly because that while zombies was still there, there was also these creatures that reminded me of mutalisks :/

It's highly entertaining garbage. Every second was like feeling my brain cells individually commit suicide, but I think that's why I enjoyed it more and more by the end. I couldn't stop poking holes in the plot to the point I just had to accept everything I was seeing. By the end...

+ Show Spoiler +
Michelle Rodrigez is turned into a Las Plagas, which apparently means you learn Kung Fu faster than Neo himself. Something about those palm strikes to the heart was just so incredibly fucking stupid that it was perfect.


Even the horrid betrayals toward the original video game become hilarious. Leon is a giant pussy. In trying to Americanize Leon they kind of ruined him, you'd never think he was a total badass. Barry even being alive in anachronistic, but I was happy to see him. He even had a badass revolver, so glad they at least got that right. Jill looks silly as hell all the time, especially in gunfights. Wesker flops hard. Alice is meh, as Resident Evil protagonists go she's alright, it's just everything they tell her to do is not very REish. A lot of the suspense from the games came from how limited everything was. The movies seem unrestricted, which is a strong reason they're so bad, yet manage to entertain. There was never a button for throwing your weapon into the air, doing a crazy looking backflip jack knife kick, catching the weapon in the pose you will kill the zombie in, kill the zombie, and then move to a different pose that incorporates said weapon and transitions to a sweet strut. Ok, maybe some QTE sequence somewhere is like that, but let's not be nit picky.

I am happy to know I wasn't the only one thinking this. As it ended I really felt like I was playing some survive the swarm custom game. This franchise has gone in a really strange direction. I could have never imagined we'd end up at this point when I played the first game.

Couldn't agree more. The movie was just so bad that it made me forget the whole franchise even exits. *clearly i'm exaggerating, but i can't stress enough how bad movie was*

there is nothing "resident evil" about the movie. Resident evil is a horror game and the movies are purely action. It's so sad, what the franchise has come to. I have to admit that even the 1st and 2nd movies had some jumpy moments in them. This movie is basically something else. An action movie, not a resident evil movie. I can understand why many people say it's the worst movie they saw. Probably because the plot was very bad and the lame ways they try to squeeze characters from the game into the movie.

I don't know, I think resident evil is more fitting than ever. It's just as much a horror movie as the games are nowadays. Meaning not at all.

I've never played the games, but I'm a big fan of all the films. That is, until this one.

I watched it yesterday and throughout the film I couldn't stop thinking how desperately bad it was.
I literally didn't care about any character other than Alice, there was no story here like in the first few films. There was no sense of danger whatsoever, and some of the action scenes were so ludicrous it made me cringe.

It's like a spoof zombie film you were supposed to take seriously. Bizarre.

I thought that the previous Resident Evil movie was bad, Retribution is even worse! My favorite is the first Resident Evil movie. Somehow the Resident Evil movies get worse with every sequel yet I cannot stop watching. Maybe the lack of over the top action zombie genre...

Dear god, they actually had the audacity to "cliffhanger" it to leave room for ANOTHER movie.. Jesus christ this movie was bad but the fact that that actually happened really puts all of Paul W.S. Anderson, Resident Evil, Milla Jokovich, and Michelle Rodriguez on my shitlist for life. MR if only because she must not have read any of the script at all pre-shooting otherwise I don't respect her in the slightest.

And sweet jesus the retarded Leon doppelganger. I think I shaked my head like 100 times throughout the movie
