Movie Review by Zara
September 21st, 2007

Uhhhhh....

I wish I could have something constructive with which to write about regarding this movie, but I don't.

I guess the thing that I'd like to point out is that I've recently been gorging myself on low budget movies, and as I was sitting in the theater watching RESIDENT EVIL: EXTINCTION, I wondered how many millions it had been made for. I counted the number of people in the theater and estimated that it would come in number one or two at the box office for this weekend.

I then felt very sick to my stomach about what that said about my country and how we covet pure, unbridled sh*t just because it has a high price tag. This is the Coach bag of movies. It looks good (I guess, I think Coach bags are ugly) but it's not worth the cost. It's merely a statement of what we can do with a lot of money in terms of camera angles, cinematography skills and technological advancements.

But the acting is worse than what I've seen in most low budget flicks. There is no fun here, not even a drop of the unintentional campiness that the first installment had. Milla even looks like sh*t, aside from the fact that she's wandering the deserts with perfectly glossed lips which show no traces of dryness.

This is such a waste. If it had the same story, the same script, the same acting and was made on a shoestring budget, people would be lining up to talk so much sh*t about it.

Strike that... people wouldn't know that it existed. And that would be a good thing.

Am I seriously a magnet for imbeciles? WTF? Thanks for a normal comment. I was honestly fighting off sleep during the flick. There was nothing to it. I don't even have a memory of it and I saw it yesterday afternoon.

I heard that atleast this movie was seriously violent. The games are bloody as hell. What did you think about the gore in the film? I dont know if im going to go see it though.

It wasn't very violent. There are a couple of scenes where Alice relives the maze of sh*t that's supposed to tear her apart, but there isn't even half of the violence that was in the second movie.

And here come Misty still in shock from the fact that I loved this movie and you said it's sh*t! Damn! Just when I thought I could get over here and post a first review of a new movie that I actually got out and saw in the theatre...and happened to like it a lot...dashed, by the beautiful Z, once again! ;)

No, but seriously, I like it. *waits to be slapped*

I'm not so intelligent when it comes to movies...how much they cost to make or apparently if they're sh*t or not, but I really did enjoy this flick...aside from a few small details which I'll include in my review.

Allow me to translate:

"Oh, wow. Big whoop, I misspelled two words. It's not like I'm perfect and you're not either."

I can understand why you liked the movie.

Wow you really have no life. I mean come on who has time to see and review 795 movies!? Is your whole life (oh wait you dont have a life but anyways) centered around going to movie theaters or buying every DVD that comes out! Also why do you like correcting me when you can read my writing and understand what im saying?

If having a life means thinking sh*t like RE:E is a 5 star event, I'll gladly take the compliment that I don't have one. Thanks!

OK, that's it. I'm calling CPS on your mommy. She obviously dropped you one too many times.

Not that I can say I blame her.

On the plus side, Ashanti doesn't do any music for the film.

PS: Maybe someone should teach Mike and Charlie to jerk off. Might even them out a little :)

yeah..um...charlie......a life...ya might wanna look into where you can get one of those....

Z, I've not an ounce of desire to watch this flick. I cannot deal with Milla. I can't think of anything she has done that I didn't loathe. I mean, I really enjoyed Dazed & Confused, but couldn't stand her character, and everything else I can remember sucked completely. Remember when she attempted a recording carreer? **shudder** OK, strike that, if I recall correctly in the 1st R.E., I remember a body being bisected by a pane of glass and one side sliding down ahead of the other to reveal an interesting cross section of the human anatomy, I remember that as the first of several such scenes in movies, and I dug it. But she had nothing to do with that at all. OK. done rambling on.

I went to see it mainly because my sister has a crush on her and wanted to go. That way I can turn around and have collateral in getting her to watch Midget so that I can go see something I really want to see.

No big desire to see this one, even if people are saynig it's the best of the trilogy. If this is the best RE film yet, is that saying much? No, because the first two were terrible. Not sure why people have to bash you for not liking this movie. Seems kind of childish to curse at someone for a having a different opinion. Seriously, were these people IN the movie? With how much you're hurting their feelings with your review, you would think so.
