Resident Evil movie review - the best video game adaptation of playing a video game
There's a bit somewhere in the middle of the rubbish Doom movie, where the perspective suddenly switches to first-person. Look, it seems to say, it's just like you playing the video game! But what Zach Cregger's new Resident Evil movie gets is that, really, it's nothing like me playing the video game. Back on my side of the screen, I might be sitting in a digital space marine suit, gliding around…
If I were forced to enter Raccoon City under the same circumstances as Bryan, there are several key changes I would make to improve the film's portrayal of events. First and foremost, I would not accept the overtime pay for this dangerous mission, despite the financial necessity in today's economy. Additionally, I would exercise caution when driving in icy conditions and avoid jeopardizing my safety for another person's anger.
Throwing a ladder at an innocent dog is inhumane, and I would refrain from doing so, while also maintaining a safe distance from the animal. Snacking is acceptable, but I would omit the milk due to my lactose intolerance. Refusing to open the door of the RV is a wise choice, and I would swiftly snatch the car keys instead. To conserve bullets, I would opt for a close-range shot at the padlock before attempting to force entry.
Taking the stairs is advisable, as the elevator is out of service for a reason. While I would express my frustration about the situation throughout the ascent, I understand that using the elevator could be hazardous. It would be ideal to disclose my infection status to the scientists and negotiate for an antidote, but if that proves impossible, I would prefer to face my fate bravely rather than succumb to Bryan's tragic end.
Most importantly, I would not follow the woman into the woods after hitting her with my car. Calling for help is crucial, but I would refrain from placing an already injured individual in the passenger seat, as it is a recipe for disaster. This is a fundamental rule for creating suspenseful and thrilling horror scenes.
