Resident Evil: Extinction
Currently listening to “Ave Maria” by “Jerzy Kneting”
Currently trying to “thaw” my fingers
Ahh.. the 3rd installment of the hollywood-butchered game based franchise. Oh what the hell, we all have the stereotypical thinking that this movie is going to suck, because all other game based movie suck too ( mourn on “Doom” ).
Went to watch this movie just now at MBO with the usual bunch of lifeless SPB people who stuck in Melaka. Originally I don’t waste my money to watch this movie because my bro warned me how sucky this movie is. But.. Aaron wanted to belanja me, so I just follow la. Also, maybe I could prove that me and my bro have a different taste.
So yeah, I went and watch this movie. Fun fact: Ivan bought a big pillow in Jusco and he hug it into the cinema. He said the got a good “experience” in the cinema. Ok, watch movie.
Yes, my bro was right. This movie suck. So how do I save your 9 bucks? Let’s see…
If you’re interested to know what happened after the 2nd movie, please don’t waste your money. Just wait for the DVD-rip to come out and download it. Trust me, after you finish watching the DVD-rip, you’ll realized that you wasted a lot of time downloading this movie. So, the best way is: Just click here.
If you’re interested in storylines, don’t bother watching this. Of course, they have more to tell than “25 Weeks Later”… like 25% more story. “Everyone is trying to survive” + “I, Umbrella Corp, wants Alice, Alive” + “I, Alice, wants Umbrella Corp, Dead”. The storyline is BORING. Trust me, this comes from a boring guy.
If you’re a die-hard Resident-Evil/Biohazard gamer, try to stay away from this movie like the 2nd movie. The first movie was good to serve as a prequel to the game series IMO, but this movie is no where near good at all. You will cry watching this.
If you’re into the flat-chested hot Russian chick shooting zombies, kicking dogs, and breaking down stuffs, go ahead and watch this movie. It will satisfy you. I watch this movie just for the sake of seeing her in action ( with that in mind, at least it’s less depressing to watch this sucky movie ). Gawd, please don’t remind me of that horrible “Ultraviolet” movie. This movie is less depressing than “Ultraviolet”, really.
If you’re interested in to reduce your heart life-expectancy, this is a really good one. They can scare the shit out of me… if I was alone in the cinema. The element of surprise is everywhere. Stopped my heart lotsa times watching this movie. Everything shocking in this movie is LOUD.
The soundtrack of this movie is lame also. The original theme from the previous movie is there, but overused. Does have the “rip-off” or “re-used” feel. Nothing to talk about cinematography. Acting… uh, the cheesiness is there a bit.
Overall, it’s still a sucky movie. Please don’t ask your friend to belanja you for this movie.
PS: THANK GOD there’s no Chris or Leon. I’ll cry blood if they butcher those two characters. There’s rumors saying that Leon is going to be appear on the 4th movie. I HATE YOU, HOLLYWOOD!
yo, I`m not another lifeless bunch of SPB, just an unlucky housemate of yours.

that really the whole point, isn’t it?
Edo: That’s for me. “Some”, you know “SOME” people goes for the storyline.
I know “Ultraviolet” is horrible. But it was so weird for the director of “Equilibrium” (which was a fucking awesome movie) to make such a crappy piece of shit for his follow-up. So I did a bit of digging… and you know what I found?
During the editing, the producers of the movie locked the director of the editing room, and in the end, they cut out 40 minutes. 40 MINUTES WEI!!! People who saw the work-in-progress version saw a lot of gore, more exposition, and less of the comic-book style corniness. The movie wasn’t supposed to look this fake, you know. It was supposed to look something like “Equilibrium”, but a bit brighter.
What a pity.
