7 years after RE2/3. (which means 2005)

1 year after RE4

Looks like Leon and Claire. This may be a sequel to RE4 depending on how they do this. Looks like the T-Virus is back into the plot.

[YellowS4]

Jesus.

[Biolink]

Wow...

Damn so Resident Evil 5 AND this game.I'm happy that it seems to be a zombie game,none of that Parasite virus stuff

Here's to hping that Leon fucks that bitch Claire in the ass

[Sileighty]

hmm..so this is a movie?

[1]

Oh sorry, I didn't specify - It's a movie. Unfortunately, not a game. But it's being developed by Capcom.

[av2k]

Capcom and Sony..

so i'm thinking blu-ray :)

[Biolink]

Eh,fuck oh well.

Leon is in it,so it's all good

[1]

^ And DVD too of course for the HD-less majority. :-D

[Geese Pants]

Looks interesting..............the CG looks cool.

[Colt Steele]

I was hoping the cg movie would be a rendition of the Spencer mansion incident...but if this furthers the current plot post-RE4 then I'm all for that too. 1, does Umbrella Chronicles tell how the old plotline fizzled out? I don't want spoilers but if I end up getting a Wii for that game I want it to be a worthwhile addition to the canon.

Also, I'm severely tempted to get a new television. I can get a 42' lcd wall-mount with a surround system through my work for about a grand and I'm sorely wanting to cave, even though it's a smaller screen than the tube tv I'm rolling now.

[orochizoolander]

Pics look like cutscenes from a game.

[Demon Dash]

:sad:

Still looks cool though...

[jae hoon]

Please god why, there hasnt been a good RE movie yet. Why put this travesty into the world.

[1]

1, does Umbrella Chronicles tell how the old plotline fizzled out?.

Well, most of it is a culmination of events seen in past games and the new scenario kind of shows Wesker's final move to crush Umbrella and how he was able to get to where he's at in RE4 (without spoilers).

It seems like they leave a somewhat ambiguous ending so that they can add stuff later, really. Still no spencer either.

[Shade]

Please god why, there hasnt been a good RE movie yet. Why put this travesty into the world.

Americans (Paul Anderson:rofl:) have nothing to do with this. So it's all good.

[Shade]

:lol:

Although a bit harsh...I'm inclined to agreed with that..

I'm not saying it's gonna be the best thing since slice bread, but what I am saying, is this project has no connection to any previous RE film project. So all the worry stemming from previous movies, is well, baseless.

[1]

Please god why, there hasnt been a good RE movie yet. Why put this travesty into the world.

I share your hate for the current run of RE movies but I think this movie is good-to-go if it stays in Capcom's hands.

I guess this is sort of like Capcom's Advent Children.

[ObsidianZ]

Hollywood does not know how to make movies from games. Simple as that.

This, however, is a Capcom production. No hollywood hands had better touch this.

*ObZ

[maxx]

everyone knows leon should have been in the movies from the beginning. ya i had no idea what degeneration was when i looked at the clips and immediatly thought movie.

[Taito]

Hollywood does not know how to make movies from games. Simple as that.
Square sure as shit didn't know how either (Final Fantasy movie)

[1]

Square sure as shit didn't know how either (Final Fantasy movie)

I enjoyed Advent Children even though I'm not a fan of FF7 -- that may be why I didn't have a problem with it though. I thought it was a cool movie and I enjoyed the fight scenes.

Edit: Oh, I forgot about the first movie. My mind chooses not to bring it up sometimes...as if it never existed. But yea, that was a poopy movie.

[DS]

everyone knows leon should have been in the movies from the beginning.

You mean everyone knew that those movies should have never been made, right?

Anyway, this will more than likely be a real RE movie. About fucking time Capcom stepped in and cleared up this mess. I was hoping it would be a game since RE4-style gameplay is still beautiful.

[ObsidianZ]

Square sure as shit didn't know how either (Final Fantasy movie)

Granted, but they made up for it with Advent Children.

*ObZ

[Taito]

^ Debatable.. they got the look right at least.

[jae hoon]

Spirits Within wasnt that bad, they said from the start it actually had nothing to do with Final Fantasy.

[Shade]

Spirits Within wasnt that bad, they said from the start it actually had nothing to do with Final Fantasy.

I liked it. ^^

[Taito]

It doesn't matter how good or bad Spirits Within was.. that movie was the product of the game industry's deluded aspirations to infiltrate Hollywood (a culmination of the late-90s meme that the line between game and cinema/art has somehow blurred).. and a bribe to Square's loyal fans by tacking on the FF name and random fanservice to a non-FF story. Both of their experiments were failures.

My point is, nobody, not even game makers, has figured out the formula in making a successful movie out of a game adaptation, so knocking the RE live action series for trying seems pretty unfair..


PS. I actually thought the first RE movie was okay..

[maxx]

PS. I actually thought the first RE movie was okay..

no, its like mk1 their pretty bad...not horrible but in comparison to their sequels their pretty good.

[DS]

no, its like mk1 their pretty bad...

Whoa, whoa, whoa.......Wait...what? MK1 was actually damn good.

[Taito]

Yeah I totally forgot about MK1.. that's pretty much the only game movie that didn't embarrass the original game like a retarded cousin..

[Tizoc]

Looks like Leon and Claire. This may be a sequel to RE4 depending on how they do this. Looks like the T-Virus is back into the plot.

Thanks for the pics, they don't show much sadly but at least we can expect good cgi...and a lot of people dieing :tup:

[DropKick Murphy]

Yea Mk1 is like the best video game move ever. The second one.... not so much

[bill_rizer]

Silent Hill is the best video game movie for me, they got it spot on.

MK1 is a close 2nd.

RE movies are all fail.

[Wut_da_Heck]

Resident Evil: Advent Children?? fuck yes!!!

[TheSix]

no, its like mk1 their pretty bad...not horrible but in comparison to their sequels their pretty good.

.......what?

MK is the best movie to video game adaptation. It was great.

My standards are pretty low though. I liked the first two RE movies just fine. Apocalypse...well....we can pretend that didn't happen.

[maxx]

.......what?

MK is the best movie to video game adaptation. It was great.

My standards are pretty low though. I liked the first two RE movies just fine. Apocalypse...well....we can pretend that didn't happen.

it kinda is sad mk1 was the best video game to movie adaption we've had...that shit was like circa 96 or sumtin.

[Mario Lemieux!]

looking sharp :0

if it's good, then we can pretend that the previous ones never existed!

[Superking]

Hollywood does not know how to make movies from games. Simple as that.

This, however, is a Capcom production. No hollywood hands had better touch this.

*ObZ

Street Fighter The Movie (while distributed by Universal) was also a Capcom production.

[Shadowcuz]

Clair is lookin pretty hawt :V

[Ryo Yamazaki]

When I saw the topic title I hung my head in shame and was going to deny the existence of this upcoming movie but my curiosity got the better of me and I ventured forth...

Now looking at the pics I can be safe in the knowledge that no matter how BAD Degeneration is (if it is bad), it couldn't possibly be worse than the live action movie counterparts. Plus claire looks damn sexy.

BTW, Slient Hill is the best game to movie ever made (then mortal kombat next in line) and Robert Rodriguez should be involved in this project.

[VG Emblem]

Street Fighter The Movie (while distributed by Universal) was also a Capcom production.
So this movie should ALSO be unbelievably great, correct?

[orochizoolander]

I liked the first RE movie:sad:

[BunnyHead]

Sweet baby oh yes!


Lookin good and boy oh boy
I hope that Leon and Claire hook up

I always wanted them to since RE2

Ada can go to hell and so can Ashley (lol that's my name the president's daughter is a thief)

Claire and Leon FTW

[Satomiblood]

Hollywood does not know how to make movies from games. Simple as that.

This, however, is a Capcom production. No hollywood hands had better touch this.

*ObZ

The Metal Gear Solid movie is being developed this way too, right?

[1]

The Metal Gear Solid movie is being developed this way too, right?

Sort of. I think all we know is that Kojima might produce/direct it. No word on a production studio or if Konami will fund it.

[Colt Steele]

Apocalypse...well....we can pretend that didn't happen.
Apocalypse was the second one. Jill ftw. Extinction, however....yeah. Not even Wesker saved that movie.

SH + MK1 = how game movies ought to be.

[BunnyHead]

^I didnt watch Silent Hill

but yes MK1 was soooo good
I remember watching that over and over

just sad the new Street Fighter movie is going suck ass 100%

[TheSix]

Apocalypse was the second one. Jill ftw. Extinction, however....yeah. Not even Wesker saved that movie.

SH + MK1 = how game movies ought to be.

Doom and gloom...extinction....milking this franchise. All the same.

I pray to god they don't fuck up the next SH :sad:

I loved the first.

[The_Cheat]

I liked the first and third RE movies. The second one was just garbage, even by my standards.

And how could you guys not mention this (http://www.nintendoland.com/mario/movie/poster_b.jpg) when talking about the best video game movie???

[Vegett0]

Silent Hill and MK1 were definitely good movies. I didn't think FF:Spirits Within was that bad. However, I do agree that it should not have even had the FF name in it.

I never liked the Resident Evil movies that much. I guess RE1 was decent but the sequels were just awful.

I'm definitely looking forward to Degeneration. Hopefully, Capcom does end up making this similar to how Advent Children was.

[Sasmasta]

Screens for the movie look cool.

[Yeah Dood 120%]

Silent Hill is the best video game movie for me, they got it spot on.:wonder: Same here for me... dood.

[Ouroborus]

damn i thought this was gonna be a game. but yeah, claire is lookin pretty hot

[Valaris]

Am I the only one who enjoyed the RE movies?
I just watch them as mindless source of violent entertainment. Not as video game adaptations.

[SNAAAAKE]

Am I the only one who enjoyed the RE movies?
I just watch them as mindless source of violent entertainment. Not as video game adaptations.

first 2 were ok..good for a zombie/hollywoodfied movie. extinction was straight up garbage..EVERYTHING was bad about it. even wesker couldnt save it..mainly because it was a random douchbag that didnt even look or sound anything like wesker :annoy:

this cgi movie looks good..

[Satomiblood]

Sort of. I think all we know is that Kojima might produce/direct it. No word on a production studio or if Konami will fund it.

See, that's how it should be. And I'm glad this movie is being developed as well.

Am I the only one who enjoyed the RE movies?
I just watch them as mindless source of violent entertainment. Not as video game adaptations.

The first one was decent, the second was awful but hilarious, and I haven't seen the third.

[AlphaDragoon]

RE4 sequel in a movie made by Capcom?! Fucking finally, show that hack Anderson how it's done, please.

And finally a new model for Claire. :lovin:

[Tigerboi]

I'm guessing this will bridge the gap between 5 and 4 and explain what Claire's been up to.

[Daddyneptune]

The first one was decent, the second was awful but hilarious, and I haven't seen the third.

Watch the 3rd one if you thought the second one was funny.

[akumachan]

Street Fighter The Movie (while distributed by Universal) was also a Capcom production.from SMB:

...and on that I gotta say the shittiest too.

There's only screen grabs to see so far and this CG RE already looks better than all the fucking RE, MK, SF combined.

















...now to just wait and see if CarpetLint neg reps my wife again for my comment. :lol:

[R.P.D rookie]

Now this is one Resident Evil movie I look forward to.:smile:

[Tigerboi]

Perhaps more explination on what happened to sherry?

[akumachan]

Perhaps more explanation on what happened to sherry?
Yeah, I'm kinda hoping they might continue the story from the point where RE2 ended. I wanna know about what happened to Sherry Burkin, and what happens to Leon - maybe even up to his point of going government agent?

[DaDesiCanadian]

I liked all 3 RE movies. I haven't played too many of the games, so I wasn't too horrified at the changes.

RE2 had Sienna Guillory in picture perfect Jill attire.. what else do you need? Plus "Raccoon city" was Toronto, so it was all the more hilarious.

[PsychoSquall]

I am excited for this film. CG video game-based movies have a lot of potential. I wouldn't mind seeing many more attempts at bringing game properties to movie format via cg.

[Tigerboi]

I RE2 had Sienna Guillory in picture perfect Jill attire.. what else do you need?

SHE CRIED. JILL DOES NOT CRY! Damn them for that!

[Kusanagi02]

SHE CRIED. JILL DOES NOT CRY! Damn them for that!

RE 1 was alright. The laser scene was the highlight for me.

RE2 was alright too. It was very, VERY loosely based on RE2/Nemesis which was good. I mean you had Nemesis which was good enough for me.

RE:Extinction was just shitty. Nevermind that in the previous movie like the game Raccoon city was completely obliterated by a bomb thus ending the virus spread.
No what we got was just a shitty concept and even shittier ending no less. It seemed as though the theme of that movie was Death cause damn near everyone died.

I mean i seriously for the life of me can't figure out why directors and writers can't just make a video game movie verbatum like the video game. The Resident Evil series was a perfect series to make a movie but for it to turn out like it has is just wrong.

[Sileighty]

Trailer for this is out now. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3s4af_resident-evil-degeneration-trailer_shortfilms

[1]

^ Thanks. Updated first post. The movie is looking pretty badass-- just what I 'd expect from a true RE movie.

Epic.

[GuiltyGearX104]

Please god why, there hasnt been a good RE movie yet. Why put this travesty into the world.

Cause Paul Gay Anderson is not directing it, THANK GOD!!:annoy: Capcom should have been the main people to do this in the first place. Not some wanker director. Cause atleast capcom sticks with there story lines and don't make up a stupid stupid crap like the world is burried in sand, and Zombies roam the earth, and later makes clone wars.

Anyways, Can't wait for this to come out. Hope capcom doesn't fail us, and makes this an epic movie.

[Sileighty]

^ Thanks. Updated first post. The movie is looking pretty badass-- just what I 'd expect from a true RE movie.

Epic.

Np. Gotta ask though, does your avatar have something to do with RE? Got a bigger version of it?

[R.P.D rookie]

Just saw the trailer and although it didn't show too much, I got to see Claire and Leon briefly along with T-virus. BRB gotta go touch myself while thanking Capcom.

[Tizoc]

Damn thanks for the trailer, DLing as I type!

[1]

Np. Gotta ask though, does your avatar have something to do with RE? Got a bigger version of it?

Yea, it's actually HUNK from RE2 who's an Umbrella mercenary. He's just a reccuring side character that Capcom has been putting in RE games since RE2. I don't think I have the original JPEG on my hard drive anymore tough.

[R.P.D rookie]

Yea, it's actually HUNK from RE2 who's an Umbrella mercenary. He's just a reccuring side character that Capcom has been putting in RE games since RE2. I don't think I have the original JPEG on my hard drive anymore tough.

It would be nice if there was actually a movie made surrounding HUNK and his special deliveries and pick ups he does for Umbrella. He's known as Dr. Death because he's always the only one that comes back from a dangerous mission. It could be a 30-60 minute CG one like this.

Might happen, if they made Biohazard 4D Executer, they need to give HUNK his time in the spotlight.

[MrQuotes]

MK1 is the best video game movie EVAR

Spirits Within is the worst "ok" movie of all time, final fantasy is never supposed to be just OK when i was a kid. that and the movie crippled the shit out of square

and this movie looks pretty cool.

[Hyuga]

This is exciting news, I just beat RE4 yesterday.

[Scorpio_G]

I just watch the trailer and I was like, " Finally! It's going to be right." Can't wait to watch this it's going to be so epic.

And I thought Super Mario Brothers The Movie was pretty good too....

....
....
....WHAT? That movie is underrated. Look at the source material for god sakes.. :rofl:

[1]

Might happen, if they made Biohazard 4D Executer, they need to give HUNK his time in the spotlight.

HUNK needs to be in the movie since he's been garnering a fanbase since RE4. Although, we don't know what he's officially been doing since 1998 and I doubt his Mercenaries stuff was Canon. I think that file in RE:CV was the last we officially heard from him (he was delivering that BOW from Rockfort right?) and RE:UC was just his 4th survivor story.

With the fall of Umbrella, I wonder what he could possibly be doing besides blasting Ganados in Spain for high scores. I agree with you that he needs to be in this movie as a short story on the DVD or something. Since this movie will be in light of RE2 and 4 (both of which HUNK was in) I don't see why Capcom won't put him in -- They owe it to RE2 fans.

A 4d Executer remake would rock though.

[bill_rizer]

loved the trailer I get a DieHard 2 feel from it, as in that all the action will take place at the airport, I guess Leon is catching his plane to Europe or just getting back perhaps? (RE4) why Claire is there who knows.

Anyword on the Voice actors? because I would hate for them to change it to someone else.

I wonder what the runtime for this will be, it might be more like an OVA to RE5, still looks promsing.

4d Executer was awesome.

[Sileighty]

Yea, it's actually HUNK from RE2 who's an Umbrella mercenary. He's just a reccuring side character that Capcom has been putting in RE games since RE2. I don't think I have the original JPEG on my hard drive anymore tough.

Oh man...can't believe I forgot all about him and his neck-snapping madness in the Mercenaries.

They should make a movie of tofu...it would be too awesome. :rofl:

[Chachi]

I don't think Capcom's involvement will keep this movie from sucking it.

[Daddyneptune]

Leon is in it this WILL win.

[Hyperhal]

They just need the original VAs and its smooth sailing.

Can we expect some Leon/Ashley humor with a girl that knows how to hold her own?

[Cronopio]

I'll never understand why the SH movie gets so much love. I hated it. Every moment of it. I guess it got the visuals right, but everything else was Uwe Boll-like quality stuff.

I think that, so far, there's never been a good videogame movie. At most, we got something like MK1 that doesn't embarrass the source material too much. I don't expect this movie to get it right (I'm not sure if making a GOOD movie based on a videogame is even possible; you can't stay too true to the game due to the obvious differences between movie and videogame narrative, but if you stray too much you let the fans down), but at least looks good from a visual standpoint.

Now let's pray for a story/situations/stuff that makes it stand on its own.

[Shadowcuz]

If possible

there has to be a shower scene with Claire

[The Epidemic]

Im definetly gonna cop this when it drops

[1]

So this movie is vaporware. Nothing much has been said since the reveal trailer.
http://www.residentevilcg.com/

It's still on track for a 2008 release. Capcom has 4 months to get hype and release this. I think this might be like Advent Children and get pushed back another year or two. Here's hoping we hear something at E3 or Comic Con.

[Weta]

I'm looking forward to this one too, I think it's a great opportunity for Capcom to tell an interesting story.

And about the history of movie/game tie-ins, let's not forget that it produced one of the finest unintentional comedies of the modern age: Mortal Kombat Annihilation.

[alfaphlex]

I don't think Capcom's involvement will keep this movie from sucking it.

I agree... even if they get the story right and do their own CG, I think it'll still be stale. Why? Well, even though that CG stuff is nice in short little cut-scenes, stretching it out to movie length will draw out the lifelessness of the actual 3d models. It's just too much hard work to make the CG believable when representing actual human beings the way we see ourselves from day to day.

That's why FF:AC looked "right" compared to FF:SW. It's just a lot easier to animate and create expression for characters that are meant to look unrealistic. Why do you think none of the US big 3d movie companies have attempted a movie with realistic-looking humans.

imo, action-wise, no doubt it'll be awesome, but I bet the characters will look like manequins throughout the whole thing

[1]

Well, they can always go for that anime look like in FF:AC. Most of the concept art for RE games are in that Japanese style anyway.

[JackTenrac!]

Yeah I totally forgot about MK1.. that's pretty much the only game movie that didn't embarrass the original game like a retarded cousin..

...but Mortal Kombat was an embarassment to begin with. This movie only made the game look good. The first movie was bad because it disillusioned people to thinking that the game series was actually good. Ed Boon's drunken Chinese buffet hallucination adventures paid off well when they were translated to the big screen.

As for this: it's great to see Capcom take a stab at the CG movie business, especially with something that isn't Street Fighter.

[Shinkuu Tatsumaki]

I believe this video just came out... If not then ooooops!

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/37597.html

[1]

The movie hits japanese theaters in 2 weeks. Maybe some people in Nippon can give us some reviews. Please :(

[jubeh]

Leon being in this movie guarantees I will have to see it.

But seriously, his life sucks. Everywhere he goes there are fucking zombies.

[TheSix]

I want to remain ignorant to any details on this movie until it gets out here.

[capcomANDsnk]

the LA screening is on the 18, i just got confirmation for my pass

email: fangoscreening@starloggroup.com

Nothing good ever comes to my city. I'll have to wait it out for the Blu Ray.

Here's the SE Blu Ray. Too pricey for me so I'll stick with the standard Blu Ray.

clair is such a hottie <3

[AzN_Skater]

You da man....major rep +++++ :tup:

Can't wait to get this on blue ray.

[TheSix]

Nice.

Does anyone know the time period for this movie?

Or is it just entertaining cannon?

[TheDarkPhoenix]

This so should have been a game.

[voodazz]

Not impressed with the CG, the people look very plastic and unnatural, even for CG, but the action more than makes up for it! Can't wait to check this out.

[Sousuke]

Nice.

Does anyone know the time period for this movie?

Or is it just entertaining cannon?



it takes place 7 years after the raccoon city disaster.

[Foleyeffect]

Not impressed with the CG, the people look very plastic and unnatural, even for CG, but the action more than makes up for it! Can't wait to check this out.

well that's a good thing since when I want to watch a resident evil movie I wanna see characters looking like resident evil characters not real people.

[Shinkuu Tatsumaki]

Not impressed with the CG, the people look very plastic and unnatural, even for CG, but the action more than makes up for it! Can't wait to check this out.

That's just nitpicking.

it takes place 7 years after the raccoon city disaster.

Yeah, supposedly it is "canon", just that it doesn't interfere with RE5.

[Shin-Mech-Brian]

That's just nitpicking.



Yeah, supposedly it is "canon", just that it doesn't interfere with RE5.It may be nitpicking but I too was expecting better rendered character models. I was expecting Advent Children quality personally. Regardless, I'll still watch this on day #1.

I am happy though that they didn't cut the violence from the scene.

[voodazz]

It may be nitpicking but I too was expecting better rendered character models. I was expecting Advent Children quality personally. Regardless, I'll still watch this on day #1.

I am happy though that they didn't cut the violence from the scene.

I was going to make that same comparison, but I'm not so nitpicky that I'm not going to see this movie.

[Kusanagi02]

it takes place 7 years after the raccoon city disaster.

So i take it this is after RE4 then?

[Sousuke]

yes. re4 takes place 2004. degeneration a year later.

[tsukihimeblood]

Holy crap that Indian lady's kid is ugly lookin.

[Sano]

Oh hey me, Orochizoolander and I think Iron Claw too won tickets to see this tonight! I'll let you know how it is. Super excited! :woot:

http://www.capcom-unity.com/snow_infernus/blog/2008/11/12/zombie_breath_contest_winners

[Sano]

I thought it was pretty good / decent. Waaay better than all of the Hollywood movies. Still not as gory as the games for some reason but waaaay gorier than the Hollywood movies. I give it a 4 out of 5. Looking forward to picking up the Blu-Ray. :tup:

That movie theater they gave it in was really cool because it had a bar in it and you could take your drink in the theater while you watched the flick! I didn't want to drink much because I wanted to pay attention to the movie but I'm going back there to see something I don't care about so I can get drunk! Ha ha my days of sneaking beer into movies are over! Well they are not over, but postponed that day... :wonder:

They gave another short independent movie called Antibody before the RE flick, it was about a junky who was immune to a zombie virus for some unknown reason and was locked in a jail cell. The flick started off with her vomiting a lot of green fluids hell yeah that's what I'm talking about! :lovin:

All and all of fun night, FOR FREE!!!! Thanks Capcom. :smile:

[orochizoolander]

Taken from my post in the SFC thread:


The RE movie started off really good the first 30 minutes or so but after that it devolved into a super COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORNY emo fest with wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too many emo speeches and it didn't help that the theater was filled with people the film was made for. Every 2 seconds everyone clapped wildly and shouted stupid jokes whenever leon or claire appeared on screen or were about to kiss and I was sooo disappointed at how terribly corny and predictable most of the movie was. If you're not a re fan you will hate the film and even if you are you'll probably still hate the film however the animation was really fucking good and it has one or two moments of awesomeness so at the very least it was much better then the live action re films but overall it still really sucked.

But it was free and as a fan I had somewhat of a good time so I can't complain.

I'm kind of curious as to how the strength of the film's story compares to Advent Children's. Even though they are very different types of stories, but they are both CGI video game movies, I was just wondering.

I didn't like advent children that much but I liked it better then re:d like I said the film was pure 9000% fan service and had way too many corny/cheesy/emo moments accompanied by sad piano music of course. Then again I'm sure you'll enjoy it more since you won't have a theater full of fanboys clapping and talking every time leon or claire are on screen.

The story itself was sooooooooooo predictable yo ucan see every plot twist coming from a mile away the whole theater was laughing nearly the entire time at how obvious everything was. You HAVE to be an re fan to get even the slightest enjoyment out of it and even then you'll probably endup being pissed off at how they fucked it up after the first 30 minutes.

Budget must have been through the roof because the animation had toptier production value and there are several scenes in the movie that are just there to show off how nice it looks.

It's similar in that if you haven't played Final Fantasy VII or any of the Resident Evil games you are going to be lost. Neither of them are new viewer friendly. You may get along watching both of them and looking at the pretty pictures while following whatever the films present to you, but you need to play the games to get the full impact.

For RED, in matter of importance I would say play RE2, Code Veronica and RE4 before watching this movie. Basically the Claire and Leon games.

My friend who I was with only played RE2 and saw all of the Hollywood movies. The destruction of Raccoon City keeps coming up in the film, so he was able to follow somewhat since both the game he played and the second movie revolved around that. He still felt kind of lost, but at the end he gave the movie a 3 out of 5 saying he enjoyed the film mostly.

Advent Children has a lot of action scenes that are physically impossible. RED is the opposite of that since it is grounded in realism. Instead RED has a lot of story elements that would cost too much money to do in live action unless they blue screen everything and do it in CGI anyway.

RED does tie into the fifth game's story and Advent of Children is kind of stand alone, there's that.

Oh, I liked Advent of Children and thought it was a better movie that RED, but it's like comparing apples to spaceships. Kind of like comparing FF7 to any RE game, you know? Well Advent did deliver most of things I wanted to see while RED didn't give me the blood and gore I can only find in the games for whatever reason, but like I said it was still bloodier than the Anderson flicks...

Oh hey Capcom's running a similar contest for the LA Event where you can see the movie FOR FREE! West Coast SRKers, get on that! :lovin:

Man the West Coast always gets everything.

It may be nitpicking but I too was expecting better rendered character models. I was expecting Advent Children quality personally. Regardless, I'll still watch this on day #1.

This post sumed it up for me. But capcom has always had mediocre CGI and VAs when compaired to Square, so it should be expected.

Man the West Coast always gets everything.

West is DA BEST son!

real talk

[capcomANDsnk]

saw this shit earlier this wk. i gotta agree w/ orochizoolander. just lower your expectations and know that it has nice visuals with some awesome action scenes. the cheese factor is high but that's part of the charm. Leon is still a badass. good to know what Leon and Claire have been up to. i enjoyed it, great to see it in a theater w/ surround sound.

and the fanboys/girls were clappin/laughin a lot too.

[orochizoolander]

The cheesiness of it didn't seem intentional it almost seemed as if whoever directed this thought it would be taken seriously which is the sad part IMO and as terrible as it was as an re fan I enjoyed it too.

[capcomANDsnk]

eh it seemed over the top tongue in cheek to me.
the stupid cell phone ringing

[SirFritzalot]

Anybody know if there are, ahem, other ways for an East Coaster, such as myself, to see it?

Big RE fan. Beat all of them cept the first one(cause I don't have a GC or the PS1 original.

-Fritz:wonder:

[capcomANDsnk]

nah, you gotta wait til December 30, 2008. man, that's a dumbass release date. wtf are they thinkin, missin the holiday rush

[GC!?]

Just finished watching the movie. Loved it.

Being the big fan of RE2 that I am, I was definitely satisfied with Leon and Claire teaming up again like that, and having another G Virus victim/"boss" character in there. In fact, a lot of the movie felt like a giant tribute to RE2 in general.

Yeah, some parts definitely were corny as fuck, but it was still enjoyable for me.

[KillerKai]

Is it just me or...
did every black guy in this movie die a gruesome terrible death? (all the marines)

[KiN]

kind of disappointed at the ending, thought the infamous guy with the glasses would show up...

[Cronopio]

Finished watching it, and it was not bad. Definitely 10000% better than any of the live action movies and by far the best videogame movie ever. The animation could have been better though, but it still was decent enough. 7/10, would watch again.
