Reviews

First I am a fan of the Resident Evil games and always love watching films about Resident Evil. But the longer I look at this series it's more absurd and worse.
For mere spectacle and entertainment may be quite interesting because this movie is full of fight scenes that we often encounter in the action movie, this film is filled with enough boom and strange monster to support the action in this movie not to forget the zombies.
Storytelling in the film is designed as in video games where cities are simulated describe each level in the game where they have to fight a boss at the end of level.
But a lot of action in this movie make no sense and no goal only for "just thrilling" where the plot in this film is very weak, and are often disconnected from one scene to another scene.
This movie seems to rely only on big name of Resident Evil franchise and Milla Jovovich alone and the role of each player in this movie nothing is too prominent.

Milla Jovovich return to play in a style that is almost the same in every movie, how the expression on her face, how she face any tensions make us feel like we're watching the same movie over and over again.
And one thing I can not accept is the role of Barry Burton, who I remember Barry was a wise man, stout and none of the role of Kevin in the movie that remind me of Barry in a game.


But again if you are looking for a movie that just exciting and full of action, this movie can possibly be an option

My Rating For This Movie :

    1. Yes you're right, it's more like an action movie now...the same thing applies to the game itself :(
