-War Resident Evil 5

Gamers vantage? Speak for yourself. I'm a gamer. I bought my playstation specifically to play RE2, as the adds looked so cool. I've played most of the RE games. I'm looking forward to RE5 a LOT.

But to quote De Nero's character in The Deer Hunter "See this? This is this. This ain't something else. This is this." The Resident Evil movie is not the game. The Silent Hill movie is not the game. I'm not tarded enough to think gee, I liked that game, therefore I'm gonna like the movie as it is gonna be the same thing except I just don't have to push any buttons. Would it have made you happier to have her running backwards and forward over a mansion pushing statues and looking for keys to open a ****ing plywood door, even though she is carrying a minigun? Would that have made you go "yeah awesome, true to the game!!!"

Maybe you should play them all form start to finish before you go running your mount... to get a better appreciation of the original story line.. and if you haven't notice Video game movies don't do well in the box office. Plus like a large portion of the people have never even played the game. "Its all about being true to the storyline.". All people are different and gamers vantage doesn't mean I speak for everyone nub(kinda like that movie Vantage Point where they all have different view points.... DEERP!!!)! It just means I'm a gamer and would have loved for them to stick to the storyline.

I would rate the PQ about a 4.75

I've seen much worse movies recently compared to RE3. War & Hitman are the first two that come to mind. The only thing I did not like about this movie was the assembly line zombies that came out of the storage container near the end of the movie. Overall this is definitely a movie I can throw in the player every now and then when I'm bored. PQ is a solid 4.5 out of 5 for me.

If you don't presume to speak for everyone, then don't presume to tell other people that they shouldn't buy something due to a gamer fans opinion of a movie inspired by the game.

My bad on giving my opinion in a movie review post.

"Another reference film transfer from Sony. There is absolutely no high-frequency filtering or DNR processing that my eyes can see, just gorgeous natural film detail complete with fine film grain in some scenes and crystal-clear photography in others. The look and feel of the original film elements are preserved beautifully on this AVC-compressed 2.40:1 1080p transfer; there are no edge halos, no color-banding, no visible compression noise, no artifacts of any kind. Resident Evil: Extinction is exactly the kind of BD that serves dual purpose for the videophile viewer: it both shows off your 1080p system in the best way that highly detailed eye candy can do, and at the same time beautifully conveys all the naturalness of the original film elements without any unwelcome processing and so maintains true film fidelity for the film medium connoisseur. Perfect.

The color palette is shifted towards warm, golden hues during outdoor daylight scenes (an intentional effect), and even the dark cavern and nighttime images are completely free from introduced noise. Not every scene is ultra-sharp; that’s not always the way film looks, but even scenes that aren’t razor-sharp are just loaded with finely grained textures and small details that will make full use of your new HD display and leave you with that “ahhh” feeling that the best HD can deliver. I can’t imagine watching this film in anything less than high definition having enjoyed this visually stunning Blu-ray Disc.

Good Job Sony."

Impressive PQ

CHAD review is a review you can count on


"RE3 looks a lot better in Blu than the film print I saw. Of course the BD isn’t as many generations removed as modern, commercial film based projection. But it almost doesn’t even look like the same cinematography in terms of resolve. Sony has done a superb job as usual in preserving RE3 in high def, leaving little room for criticism outside of subjective appeal. Fades, transitions, none revealed any significant problems with compression. The grainier and other more demanding scenes appeared very well preserved by the discs allocated bit budget."


I owned this movie and i highly recommend it for everyone who likes this title

I wanted to sit in the sidelines on this one, but I can't let you go spouting false information with the presumption that you are the expert on the Resident Evil franchise.

Really? Well before pulling out any numbers, let us consider that Resident Evil has had two sequels. I'm sorry, but they don't make sequels to movies if they don't make money.

The first movie had a worldwide gross of $102,000,000 from a budget of $33,000,000. The second movie brought in $129,000,000 and the third one upped the revenue again with $147,000,000. These movies make more money than than a lot of other movies out there, and they are only gaining in popularity. Of course, a money issue is one thing, but your biggest mistake was this:*

It's hard to know where to begin on this one. According to metacritic, users rated the first Resident Evil a 6.7, which is a higher score than the other two movies. Apocalypse was given the lowest score of the three with a 5.5. Keep in mind, these are the fan reviews, ie: the players. The first movie was in many ways true to the game. The narrow hallways, the camera angles, the design, the first movie was a very good adaptation. They strayed from the games with the subsequent movies, and yet you praise Apocalypse as a the best while at the same time trashing the series for not being true to the gaming roots.

I don't mind if you don't like the movies, but don't go trashing the games and insulting the people that defend them if you don't have your facts straight.

Thats like saying all movies that make profit deserve a sequel.

So it's better to defend a point with false information than to refute one with proof? I like your logic there

Also, films make money because people pay to see them (obviously). Doesn't any film (of this type) deserve a sequel if it more than doubles its projected budget? From a business standpoint, it doesn't make sense not to. Sure, you can't do a sequel to Titanic, but for a movie like Resident Evil, why not?

RE-1 was very good. RE-3 was good. RE-2 was horrible. Overall the trilogy is good and entertaining.

They did. Its called "To raise the Titanic". I figure if someone has the Kahoneys to do a movie on desicrating a sacred mass berial site based on a real life event, should be no problem to make fictitious movies RE 1 thru 87 without batting an eye. Gotta ways to go to catch up to Friday the thirteenth franchise though.
