Did you get to the part when Cher's Believe song started? 😂

Awful

Kinda scummy that there is no streaming service alternative for this film like there is for most other ones now. Maybe like in Resident Evil, the plan with the film is to get as many people as possible to catch a certain virus in order to go see it.

Will probably wait awhile on this one.

All those vignette trailers honestly make me feel better about the movie now. Shouldve just led with that instead of the trailer they had before.

I'm fine with Tom Hopper playing Wesker, He's good on Umbrella Academy

the only one i'm still not sold on is the actor they've chosen for Leon.

This Film is much closer to the games than the Paul W. S. Anderson Trilogy which is a step in the right direction.

Following trailer is without music:

Looking forward to watch it.

It gives the impression of a low-budget production though.

1. What should be a city looks more like a town.
2. Leon is hardly recognizable.
3. Poor CGI monster effects.

It is surprising to see that Hollywood is unable to come up with a Masterpiece for the Lore-Rich Resident Evil franchise.

A high-budget TV show might be a better model for the Resident Evil franchise. Have a look at following Short Film:

I would like to see what Frank Darabont can come up with, with good budget of-course.

The Walking Dead Season 1 is a masterpiece. The remainder is glorified mediocrity.

I still remain cautious. RE 1 & 2 can both be their own movies in their own right. Mashing them together with odd changes sprinkled like Chris being a skeptic or Lisa Trevor being a scientist(? Apparently?) is gonna have random results.

Making zombies run is not a good idea, either.

They also did that in the games with RE 5 & 6, but that was back when they were trying to appeal to the CoD crowd.

I know that running zombies do exist in the RE universe, but it's way too early to introduce those... and let's be honest, fast zombies are killing all the charm.

Slow impending doom. That's how the true zombie action works.

Yeah, I was about to mention the dogs.

Running zombies sort of ruin the whole purpose of undead dogs in RE, lol.

This isn't even supposed to be the point in time when running zombies should be introduced or not as many. Zombies with specifically the T-Virus are your slow traditional types and only fast when mutated into the super late stages of Crimson Heads and these zombies don't look like those unless the studio cut corners in the makeup department saving money like they did not giving Leon's actor a hair stylist.

Looks like a low budget made for TV film.

I dont recall them running even in those games, at least by a significant distance. Was mainly the dogs that ran.

They did run in those two games but not to the point like they're in the Olympics.

That delivery for "get out of this town" hurt.

Will admit the idea for a crossover in a sense between characters from different entries like Sherry meeting Lisa is an interesting What If but whether the creator of this movie will make these encounters suck time will tell.

As I was saying, yes.

Crimsons were introduced in the remake and are quite obscure, afaik.

Far more likely that the movie simply won't be faithful to the games (again).
