Resident Evil: Extinction (Afterlife)

[Darth Erroneous]

Extinction, or afterlife, is slated for the '07 line-up. Of course they have the four usuals returning as well as Ali Larter as Claire...nice touch. :) Apparently they are traveling across the Nevada Desert in order to reach Alaska. It will be interesting to see how this one comes together. I've also read that they (the producers or whatnot) have secured the rights to use Wesker. Sweeet.

[CephalicCarnage]

I hope its nothing like the first two.

[Darth Erroneous]

I enjoyed the first one more than the second, but liked them both. I'd like to see them blend elements from both. Except for that shaky camera work on the zombies. Hated it.:x

[absolutely smashing]

meh...I'm hoping its more like the 1st one than the second...Or better yet,more like the game...

[SGT. DEATH]

Ill look foreward to this as I really enjoyed the first.But Ill have to wait a whole year.

Wweskerrrr!!!

[chickenchop1]

meh...I'm hoping its more like the 1st one than the second...Or better yet,more like the game...

I didn't mind Resident Evil 1, but part 2..........:x

If I could hope for anything related to the RE3 movie, it will feature a TON of zombies throughout 90% of the movie, where the survivors have to fend them off at every turn, while adding some new ideas in the process, but this time, the camera will hopefully remain steady, so we can make out the zombie details and gore. The zombies should not be secondhanded like they were in RE2.

At this point, the movies have strayed too far to get back to the RE games storylines. Even so, being a zombie fan, I might check it out just for the heck of it.

[Runn 4 WV Hillz]

i liked both of the first two,, im looking forward to watching this one!!:drool:

[Lian]

I was hoping they would make a sequel this is good. I can't wait to see what it is exactlly they did to alice in the second movie unleashed. Overall I think this movie has a lot of potential and I hope they don't drop the ball in production.

As for making it like the games I can't say if that would be good or bad. I'm sure the games were good, though I have yet to play them, but I'd rather see the movie take off on it's own.

[Runn 4 WV Hillz]

yeh i hope they bing back mike epps that dude is f@*kin crazy!!! this would really be a plus!!!!!!:lol: :lol:

[Nemesis]

yeh i hope they bing back mike epps that dude is f@*kin crazy!!! this would really be a plus!!!!!!:lol: :lol: Mike Epps is coming back.

[The Blind Dead]

Mike Epps in the third? :puke: Blah...I'm sure my kid will have me buying the trilogy box set when it drops.

[Darth Erroneous]

I wasn't too thrilled about him returning. Ever since I heard the story about him calling my boy a "racist satan worshipping mother f*cker" I stopped watching him. (True Story)

[skelington]

I'm looking forward to this. RE2 wouldn't of been so bad if they had trimed out some of the extra side-plots, and of course had more zombies.:) I can't wait to hear more.

[Nemesis]

I wasn't too thrilled about him returning. Ever since I heard the story about him calling my boy a "racist satan worshipping mother f*cker" I stopped watching him. (True Story)http://www.allthingszombie.com/forums/images/smilies/laugh.gif What? Could you please tell me what you're talking about?

[corgi37]

Ali Larter! I dig that sheila so much.

RE2 was ok for what it was - and for what we knew it would be - a kiddie movie full of slow mo kung fu kicks and "rocking music, dude".

I just dont get the idea of having top notch FX men doing the best they can with zombie make up (and this includes Dawn 04 as well), only to have badly lit scenes and that dreadful stop-go camera work.

Hopefully, Mila will get her goodies out for the boys again!

[Darth Erroneous]

http://www.allthingszombie.com/forums/images/smilies/laugh.gif What? Could you please tell me what you're talking about?

Mike Epps came out to Joker's Comedy Club some time ago and as with everyone who has a show there, they visited the mall that is just a stone-throw away from it. When Mike Epps was finished shopping or whatever it was that he was doing, he couldn't find his car. As with everyone else who loses their car, security helps them find it. Well, my boy, we'll call him "Dave" (The security guard) picked up Mike Epps and started to drive around looking for the car.
Dave is a big guy with a shaved head and is also a Pagan. Epps saw that Dave was wearing tome Pagan-esque rings on his hands and asked him about them. Dave responded that he didn't wish to discuss them. So this went on an on for a while until the car was located. When Epps got out of the car he looked back into the security vehicle and made some comment to the affect of, "-you skinhead satan-worshipping mother f*cker." or something like that. It was only after the fact that Dave found out who Mike Epps was.

[The Blind Dead]

I just think he's just the weak African American comedy relief that so many films feel they need to insert. Essentially, he's there just to let off a bit of the steam that starts to build from the tension.

I just hope they give him back those sweet-ass gold plated Desert Eagles...and some funny lines like those from RE:A "Oh sh*t! We stealin' his ride!"

[zombiekilling101]

I hope they keep wesker a badass

[Darth Erroneous]

I hope they keep wesker a badass

As do I. Secretly I'm wishing they cast Val Kilmer as Wesker. I think he could pull it off.

[Runn 4 WV Hillz]

or better yet what about epps running over a zombie and screaming GTA MOtherF@*ker,, then wrcking his car checking out zombie hookers!!! i hope it only gets better!!!:lol: :lol:

[zombiekilling101]

As do I. Secretly I'm wishing they cast Val Kilmer as Wesker. I think he could pull it off.

yeah that would be perfect for the character. I bet they get a younger dude to do it though.

[Darth Erroneous]

But with prosthetic make-up and CGI they could make him younger.:lol:

[BIGkeeblerOG]

damit i cant wait to see this one!

[JohnDRobinson]

RE3 sounds pretty decent. I really liked RE2, more so than the first. The first seemed a little too slow for me. RE2 had a lot of energy.

[Dr. Russell Fell]

RE3 sounds pretty decent. I really liked RE2, more so than the first. The first seemed a little too slow for me. RE2 had a lot of energy.

Both of them seemed a little too, uh, retarded for me.

[Dark Prince]

Both of them seemed a little too, uh, retarded for me.

Agreed. To be fair though, I did enjoy the first up until the woman started snapping zombies' necks between her thighs and whatnot. I find that kind of thing hard to take seriously :roll:

The third movie is unlikely to impress me if it's anything like the first two. I just pray to God they choose not to use Whesker in the film :pray:

BTW, Nemesis, your sig is horrible! But in a good way :)

[Cybopath]

More characters in the third film seems too little too late to me, nice try Paul. I won't even dignify this one by viewing it. I saw the 2nd one the way anyone should, a borrowed 2nd rate pirate copy.

And yes I am judging it before I've seen it as anyone can with an Anderson movie.

[zombie2005]

This better be good. I hated the first two films. Too much sci-fi for me.

Anderson guy is too much of a sci-fi comic book writer. It would have been better if stoy was left in modern times, no sci-fi. 28 days later good example.

[MrShape666]

I actually found myself enjoying the RE movies (although, yeah, blurring the zombies in part 2 like that got really annoying). I'd like to see them do something like the Resident Evil 4 game, that was pretty cool.

[ZombiexLove]

Is there a trailor anywhere for this?

[Pain]

Is there a trailor anywhere for this?

I don't think there is yet. You can rest assured that as soon as there is one it will get posted here by someone:)

[ZombiexLove]

I don't think there is yet. You can rest assured that as soon as there is one it will get posted here by someone:)

Yea, I figured...I just get antsy...:roll:

[deadboi77]

Looks kinda promising,but still no Leon:x

[nirvroxx]

i wish they would have kept the movies more along the lines of horror, rather then sci-fi action. the way things went in the first 2, were in for a sci-fi shit fest. :poo:

[wildchid]

Part one was good. Part two was good in spots, I'm afraid part three might turn out to be a cross between x-men and a Zombie 5. Why do the insist on screwing up a good series :x

[The Hero]

Really if you think about it,they could take the series in space,it wouldnt matter, it'll never be based propally on the games anyway.

[Cybopath]

They did I saw it, oh wait sorry the was the Doom movie lol.

[Cenobite]

This aint a zombie movie!

First and second sucked and so will this one.

When the hell are they going to make REAL RE movies?! WHEN!?

[Zombie Survivor]

Never, because the rights to use the name "Resident Evil" and the stories of the games are jused. They can juse the name "Biohazard", but considering that it's already a name of an american band, I must conclude that it won't happen.

[Adam C]

Im a little scared about this movie.... Im hoping they dont cheeze it up like they did in the second movie. It had so many holes in it, and was just plain stupid in some parts.

"Oh no, were surrounded by Zombies!!!" Lets hide in this church!"
(10 Minutes later)
"Lets walk around on the streets.... La, La, La.... Hmmm...I swear this place was nearly overrun by the undead.... Oh well!"

I liked the first one, sure it was a little bit lacking in certain areas, but it tried to get some of the atmosphere of the game at least. My favorite scene was at the end.... it was straight out of the RE2.

[UNDEAD FRED]

I want my MTV, excuse me my resident evil extinction

[DeadinWV]

The first one had a few sucky parts but for the most part was good. The second one had a few good parts but for the most part sucked. I cant wait to see the formula for part 3.

[UNDEAD FRED]

I enjoyed getting both movies for $7.50 each. I liked both movies, but I like allmost all movies unless the movie is totally lame acting wise. They should of had more zombies in part 2, it seemed they just all disappeared, and became the side story as the movie progressed, I liked the part of the zombies chashing the office lady up the stairs and on the roof. I like it when a person is bit by a zombie, and has the courage to kill themselfs instead of becomming a walking cadaver. I read somewhere in this thread that they will cross the Nevada border to get to Alaska, Nevada is a warm place, that means more scantly clad babes.:rock:

[Miss-Psycho]

I liked RE1 and RE2 .. it was totally different from the game and all.. and I'm not sure how RE3 is going to be anything like the game because of Alice being there and all. I can't wait. :)

[Graves]

I wish so much that the first movie was based in the mansion like the game. That would have been terrifying. I still kinda liked the first one though. Part two, meh.

I'll probably watch this one, like the other two.

[tigeraid]

I enjoyed both movies but the first one was the superior film. It seems in both flicks though that the movie's appears to go downhill which is a real drag seeing the movies come from such a great game franchsize. I don't know about anyone else but when I went to go see RE1 in theatres I totally got the Wesker vibe from Spence (James Purefoy) and was mad disapointed when he turned out to be just another kinda badguy.
RE2 differs every now and then to me. Sometimes when I watch it I absolutly love it and other times I want to shove the dvd in the microwave and set it on high. I guess I would say it was one of those movies that you have to see in theatre to enjoy it throughly, something about seeing Nemesis pwning those S.T.A.R.S. wannabee's in the gunshop was truly the first awesome scene in the movie...according to me anyways.
I just hope RE3 will be an okay movie, I am not going to give my hopes up like I did with RE2. I only say that Wesker better be badass, Ali Larter should not be Claire and finially that Alice should die and stay dead this time (superpowered people are gay) and the lead role should be taken over by either Chris Redfeild or Leon.

[Pain]

Just found this

From IGNFF: "A release date for the carnage of the next film in the series, "Resident Evil: Extinction," has now been set by the studio: September 7th of next year (2007).

[B00Ne]

I couldn't really get into either of the first two, so I'll probably just wait until this hits Netflix. I just found there were too many slo-mo bullets and shiny asses. Not really my thing. :drool:

Even the shiny asses? :scare:

The resi films, to me, are like very long MTV videos... Entertaining, with little substance. But that's okay, once in a while...

[corgi37]

I thought RE2 was better than 1

[Kemper]

I thought 1 was way better. 2 had horrible editing (cemetery...Yuck) and that lumbering beast wouldn't scare anyone.

[chickenchop1]

I can imagine the studio saying something like, "Let's make a movie called Resident Evil, but make it almost nothing like the games everyone loves." The first RE film was a decent 'slick' horror film, but it didn't capture the feel of the games, something fans were hoping for. At least it was a step above the Super Mario Bros or Street Fighter films.

They should have probably called these RE movies something other than Resident Evil, since the films aren't close to matching the games. "Silent Hill" the movie on the other hand, is a close match to it's games, not perfect, but close, mostly in visual style and sound. Mortal Kombat 1 captured the game's style for the most part, but forgot about the blood.

RE3 using the look and style of the games, but continuing it's story of Alice might not be a bad way to take the film if they're to continue.

[zombiekilling101]

although I enjoy 1 and boarderline despise 2.. I might go see this in the theater with my buddy for a laugh.

[Captain Colostomy]

I enjoyed the first one more than the second, but liked them both. I'd like to see them blend elements from both. Except for that shaky camera work on the zombies. Hated it.:x


The shaky cam! God it pissed me off, they just ghosted the zombies to make it look like there were more of em, cheap!

Leave out nemesis and the over the top martial arts and cheesy lines and it could be amazing, i'd like to see a desert full of zombies :)

[corgi37]

The camera work during zombie attacks infuriated me! Just like it did in Dawn 04. The FX make up looked awesome in both films, but ya wouldnt know it. Whats the point of making every thing in great gory detail, only to have blurry, jerky, quick cut camera work? RE2's lighting was maddening too. They could have just as well as had people with blue faces and blackened eyes for all we saw for the majority of the time.

[jackskellington]

I thought part 2 was way better than part 1, though I enjoyed them both. I'm really looking forward to part 3 because, as I've said time and time again...Hot girls in short skirts with huge guns doing battle with the undead will make ANY movie a good movie!!:lol:

[Cybopath]

The shaky cam! God it pissed me off, they just ghosted the zombies to make it look like there were more of em, cheap!


Whats with the shakey cam and modern media? You can't watch a drama or a cop show these days without the lame ass shakey camera or wild un motivated panning. I'd get failed for camera work at college if I did that.

[Jolmer]

Hated both movies. They focused more on theat damn girls boobs than the zombies. THey also put too much into the fighting and the whole thing with zombies coming directly out of their graves was cheesy.

LOL! I guess that's what happens when the target audience is the 18-31 year old male.

[goesaround]

I agree I hated the zombies coming out of the ground aaaaaaa what about there coffins? BUT the zombies in Resident Evil 1 were right up there with Night of the Living Dead and Night of the Living Dead 90, They sure were

[Pain]

The first two Resident Evil movies have been discussed to death here. This thread is for the new movie.

[UseYourHeadCutOffTheirs]

im excited! i loved the first two...and honestly the second was better i think simpley for the fact that they were above ground...but i didnt understand how the zombies weren't all over the people at the bridge at the edge of racoon city...they were everywhere else...why not where all the food is???? the first was great but my girl michelle rodriguez died and that really dampered my spirits.....but whatever......

although i only played re4 so i really dont know what the movies should have been like....all i know is i wanna see some leon in re3.....man that would be nice to see him on the big screen....yum!

[Dawn78]

The first 2 Res Evil films are good. I am really excited about part 3! The only thing that spoilt the first two were the nemesis monsters. They should have just focussed the movuies purely on zombies, I hope they do with the third although I doubt it.

[Fierce_Track]

ah another resi evil movie i think its gunna be another 7 outta 10

[graphixv]

For a 3rd movie that doesn't suck (like a lot of RE2) they are really going to need a strong script. That's going to be tough since what I liked about the first movie was how patient it was and how long it took to run into the zombies. This made the MTV fighting better for me since it wasn't laced through the entire film.

I actually had a story idea for the 3rd film last year so it will be interesting to see how the story they have compares to mine.

BTW: How many people here have read the original RE script by George Romero? I read it and it wasn't very good.

[shovel2face]

ok im sorry to say but the res evil flicks were horrable, it was like a high budget steven segal flick. if they made the movie anything like the games i would have actually enjoyed it. so i dont think too likely of this one....:puke:

[shovel2face]

i totally agree

[zackzombie]

2 was better than 1 i hope it goes in the same fasion i love the videogames

[ZombieJohn]

2 was better than 1 i hope it goes in the same fasion i love the videogames

Umm I would have to disagree... 2 was not in my eyes better and 1 wasnt to bad now that I look back but neither were that good for the budjet they had.

[Onslaught]

has anyone seen the guy they have picked for wesker? he seems kind of portly.

i hold no hope for the resident evil franchise, and didn't from the first time i saw the first one. but that's ok, because now i don't expect too much and i can at least enjoy them for what they are.

i'm actually looking forward to this one. mainly because milla jovovich is hot and any chance to see her on screen is fine with me.

Its on a thing called the internet.

[TurboZombie]

Thanks for the help buddy!?!

[corgi37]

Only kidding matey. Just google for it. You'll find it. GAR's version sure would have been different to the one we got.

[JohnDRobinson]

I'm a Resident Evil nerd and think that the movies have done the games justice. For the most part. I really don't think that the Alice character was needed but I guess they needed something "fresh". I think RE3 will be a bigger and more kick butt flick then we've seen before.

[Zombie Genocider]

I'm just hoping with this film it follows more of the games storyline and knock it off with all this alice BS. It'd be nice to see them follow a "real" RE character.

[corgi37]

The way i look at it, RE3 looks like a Mad Max clone.

The cell phone footage from one of the zombies during an "attack" was cool.

I suppose setting this in the desert makes sense (people getting out of the cities and re-starting in remote areas is what i would do) but i miss the theme of over run cities.

New trailer: http://playlist.yahoo.com/makeplaylist.dll?id=1556965&sdm=web&qtw=640&qth=400

I might be overly optimistic, but I have a feeling this one might trump the other two. I am well aware that the other two films quality is highly debatable amongst many of the internet crowd; personally I thought the first one was alright, the second awful. However this looks actually pretty good. It seems that they have hopefully found a good playful balance between action and horror, rather than skimp on one (horror and good acting in RE2 and action in RE 1). The setting looks cool and fresh rather than the ol run down city setting.
Also am I the only person that hopes Mike Epps really bad comic relief character gets eaten within the first 3 minutes, and incredibly painfully would be preferable. On that note I also hope for more gore this go around, but I am sure I will be disappointed, due to Screen Gems ability to basically print money of this pg-13 zombie franchise.
Have a good day
Quinn

[goesaround]

The trailer did not show a thing. How one can assume anything from that montage of sand I dont know. But I have hopes. I actually consider Resident Evil 1(In regards to zombies) to be one of the top 5 Zombie movies ouside of Romero.

[STONED STONER]

It will suck

At the end of res evil #1 it looked like #2 would be good...

That sucked

Ill still watch this hollywood crap:poo: tho

[JohnDRobinson]

Great trailer. Really impressed me.

[DitzyRice]

I am a die hard Resident Evil fan.
I love all things Resident Evil and as a fan I simply must watch this movie.
Resident Evil is my all, my everything, my soul.
I live for Resident Evil.

[Kemper]

Resident Evil Flicks have the absolute best zombies. 1 was underated....2 sucked donkey. This one Looks like it will use every cliche in the book. Hopefully, it will atleast be slick and not have an big TURD monsters who move about 2 miles an hour.

[Darth Erroneous]

The trailer was pretty good. It went by very fast and I missed a lot. I guess that makes it better. I think it's funny how Resident Evil 5 is coming out next year for PS3 and 360 with the overall theme being a desert and heat. This RE also seems to focus on desert, sand, and obviously heat. Coincidence? I think not.

[Divided Soul]

Love it... im sooo psyched!

Trailer looks ok. I'll check it out as I enjoyed both previous movies.

woww...what happened to resident evil...
the eerie dark atmosphere, creepy music....the Horror

i guess all that died in 1998 with resident evil 2
aah the memories....
but anywho the trailer looks good
for an action movie............def will watch
whos coming????
dont lie

[Pain]

To me the games and movies are now two totally seperate entities. Shame though, as the games would make excellent movies if done properly.

[Cybopath]

I saw that hunk of cheddar they call the Resident Evil Extinction trailer. WTF? It reminds me of the B-Movie "Cyborg" starring JC-Van Damme which was also a Mad Max rip off.

Funny thing is if it where just a movie I'd say oh that looks like a no bad cheesy film but because it's supposed to be RE I'm like who the hell is so retarded that they get to this from a far more superior plot & look? I just don't get it, It has to be a deliberate attempt to anger people.

[jackskellington]

I am SO excited about this one! I loved both 1 and 2 so I'm hoping for another winner! I'm with Pain on the idea of the games and the movies being two totally separate entities, though.

[Runn 4 WV Hillz]

this movie should be the shizznit:poo: as long as mike epps is in it 4 comic relief. :lol:

[corgi37]

My hope is that seeing the film is set in the hot, sweaty, boiling desert, Ali & Mila find the need to take off their hot and itchy clothes and parade around in bikinis.

Good point, Pain.

Mind you, despite the games' compelling storyline, there still is a certain amount of cheddar present. The whole Resi franchise has a cheesy undertone to go with its scares...

[Sadogoat]

I imagine I'll be waiting for this one to come out on DVD. I wasn't impressed with the first two films - so I'm not inclined to believe this one will be a substantial improvement.

Not sure about the outfit or the new hair-do.... :scare:

[sgtarent]

I just saw the full trailer on yahoo movies:

http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809697875/video/3488428/standardformat/

Looks like massive zombie scenes with good make-up and effects. Everybody complains that the zombies weren't featured enough in the other RE movies so this one looks like they are making up for it.:clap:

[Sadogoat]

I spotted the Tyrant in there too.

I didn't like the previous two films, and I doubt this third installment will redeem them in my eyes. That said, I do agree that the zombies are looking pretty good and there's some nice epic shots of them converging on the outpost in their thousands. Made me think of the prison from The Walking Dead actually.

Is it just me or does she have the whole Sigourney Weaver thing going on?

[HOO-HAA]

Is it just me or does she have the whole Sigourney Weaver thing going on?

I agree. And she's looking as tired of the franchise as Sigourney looked in Alien Rez! :scare:

[jackskellington]

As I've said over and over again, I can't wait for this one! That new trailer has more zombie action than in the entire run of LotD. The whole "birds feeding on the infected flesh" thing is a really nice addition as well. Unfortunately, it comes out on my 5th wedding anniversary, and we're going out of town for that whole weekend, so I might not get to see it until the following week. Oh well. Still can't wait!!!

[Helu]

I really dug everything about the new trailer, the black guy didn't seem to only be their for comedic relief, though he still might be...

[28 Posts Later]

I was only marginally excited about this new re film but after seeing the trailer, I am more interested. No matter what it is like, I am sure it could probably be better without Alice. Superhumans belong in comic books, not zombie movies!

[Evil Pug]

I can imagine the studio saying something like, "Let's make a movie called Resident Evil, but make it almost nothing like the games everyone loves." The first RE film was a decent 'slick' horror film, but it didn't capture the feel of the games, something fans were hoping for. At least it was a step above the Super Mario Bros or Street Fighter films.

They should have probably called these RE movies something other than Resident Evil, since the films aren't close to matching the games. "Silent Hill" the movie on the other hand, is a close match to it's games, not perfect, but close, mostly in visual style and sound. Mortal Kombat 1 captured the game's style for the most part, but forgot about the blood.

RE3 using the look and style of the games, but continuing it's story of Alice might not be a bad way to take the film if they're to continue.

You hit the nail right on the head. Resident Evil game fans wanted the R.E. movies story lines to closely follow those of the games but were disappointed that they did not.

[jackskellington]

New "Red Band" trailer with a bit of extra gore...

http://flash.sonypictures.com/video/movies/residentevilextinction/site/library/redband/redband_high.swf

[corgi37]

Very CGI, but looks bloody fantastic! Now i cannot wait. Hopefully, that wasnt all the good bits! lol

[ilovetotravel]

For some reason, I can't seem to gain access to the game on the site due to age restrictions (though I haven't been under 18 in a long, long, long time!).

Anyone know how to get registered for the game?

[Kemper]

Looks cool. I hate the desert though...zombies seem like a parody with all the make-up. I don't believe they are zombies.

I hope the fight scenes aren't like the on in the cemetery or I might hurl.

It looks like it will be fast paced and action packed if anything.

[arayner]

After seeing the full trailer i think the series may redeem its self:clap: . Personaly i loved the first film, it served as a great prequel for the story line of the game(in my opinion). But the more i watched the second, it made wonder just what could have been:cry: . Lets hope we get some thing like the resi we no and love:lol:

[lavel]

Is it just me, or is Milla showing her age in that pic?

Not sure about the outfit or the new hair-do.... :scare:

Yeah, it's you. She's not a teeny-bopper you know.:doh:

[Jack Swift]

Looks like fun from the trailer, more so than the earlier ones, but I really don't like the "rambo ninja zombie hunter with sexy outfits crashing though windows on a motorcycle"-style of the RE movies. I'll be giving this a pass.

same here....i'll give it a rent though...maybe

[taifOOm]

Paul Anderson has COMPLETELY bastardized this franchise; what could have otherwise been a stylistic, creepy series is now chock full of bullet time and bottom-of-the-barrel CGI. Nemesis was a joke and this looks even worse, how can anyone complain about Uwe and HOTD after seeing that cluster**** of a film??? **** this movie, and **** Paul Anderson.

Very much agreed. Ultraviolet was one of the most boring, predictable flicks I've ever seen.

[HOO-HAA]

I've enjoyed the resi evil flicks. But I've felt cheap, afterwards.

They're as trashy as it gets. Cliche-ridden, MTV video pap that ...well... entertains me! So, bring it on!

(Still think Alice is looking a little jaded in those screenshots)

[arayner]

Rough and ready Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm! just the way i like em. She is looking jaded but hell its the end of the world. But i will be expecting atleast a nipple shot in this one( im a very lonley man lol):lol:

Brand new RE: EXTINCTION trailer. :drool:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkaAi2yQou0

[Zombiekilla55]

:) Gah I can't wait... Althought i think it would have been better if they followed the games, i still like the RE movies.

[jackskellington]

Infected bird scene. Pretty stupid the way they're firing handguns blindly into the air when there are thousands of birds, but I guess that's how you make an action scene. Somebody should've been on that flame thrower from the get-go!

http://www.nbc.com/Video/residentevil.shtml

[meatmuncher]

i love these films although the game is better but good films


cant wait to see this oneas for the recent trailer that makes it look excellent to me more than the first original trailer

:rock:

[Nil_Failstorm]

It's Road Warrior vs. the Living Dead, in Vegas!

Maybe I'm biased cause Milla's hot.

[detpat]

they should have rented milla a figure for this one, maybe something cgi?
pat

[skelington]

Watched the trailer and I can't help but notice some of the shots they took from the earlier movies are changed! What is that all about? I don't remember Milla having to dodge any lasers in RE1 or a knockout druged bouncing betty trap. Other then that it does look cool but I don't know if I am going to be able to talk any of my friends into seeing it with me after how bad they thought RE2 was.

I think those scenes are actually from the new movie and not flashbacks from part 1. I think those are probably clones dodging lasers and getting offed by the bouncing betty traps. Could be wrong, though!

[nirvroxx]

one thing is for sure. I will definetly be dodging this!

[goesaround]

The first one was actually one of my favorite zombie movies/ Being too old to play the game and only watching over my sons shoulder I missed the game, So I was not comparing. The zombies were among the best in the first one/ The second one sucked. This one looks good and I liked the trailer and the rotted further along zombies. Also no more uber hand held camera too/ I/m there.

You're never too old for a good video game.

[irtehstoopid]

Hunk better get his ass in one of the RE movies!

[MrShape666]

Well, the previews make this look like a lot of fun, but I still think they've strayed to far away from the games.

And Russel Mulchay is a much better directer then Paul Anderson.

[goesaround]

I think this will be really good. Hey you know like we all expected the Dawn remake to suck but was a pleasant surprise I think the same here. Hell I'm still dizzy from the camera work in the second one. None of that here.

[Lefty44709]

Well... I live in Las Vegas, and I love Zombie Movies, so this is a can't miss for me. Hopefully I won't regreat forking out the cash for this one. :x

ill rent it for sure...

[Victor Clark]

I saw a preview of this when I watched Superbad, and I can't wait for it to come out in theaters! A group of survivors lead by a superwoman fighting zombies in a deserted Las Vegas? SOLD!!!

[Zombob]

hopefully, the trailer isn't the best part of it...

[Leeboy]

Looks good, mostly cause Milla Jovovich is in it. Mmmmmm . . .

[Zombob]

i heard that this one was gonna be milla's last if they go on to make more...

[jackskellington]

Another clip...

http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809697875/video/3981777/

I think it's fairly balsy of Mulchay to get this entirely doing the day. Not too many horror films do that.

That top pic in the lab looks freakily like they're having gay sex. Those darstardly Umbrella experiments are getting way out of hand.

[wildchid]

I have to say im very excited about this movie. I'll be there friday with my movie snacks in hand, and a warm content knowing someone will soon be getting shot in the head.

[Kemper]

I do think this movie will kick ass

[F Stop]

Totally psyched to see this. Going this weekend, assuming I'm not too hungover...

[meatmuncher]

Really excited about this film now almost here, cant wait.

Will have to take my brother to watch it with me as he is a zombie fan also but no internet :evil::evil:

[corgi37]

The more i see...the more i like.

[goesaround]

"Fair Dinkum" or whatever that is you say down there. But I agree this looks really good. Far above the second and if the zombies are as good as the first(That zombie dragging the axe with the dislocated foot was right up there with 'fly boy' in my book) I'm going Sunday night

[sirjacktorrance]

That top pic in the lab looks freakily like they're having gay sex. Those darstardly Umbrella experiments are getting way out of hand.
looks exactly like the first scene of return of the living dead 3.i don´t know guys but there´s somo big probloems for me with this movie.the alice superpowers,zombie crows,superzombies... too much chessy concepts for a great zombie movie.

[Devon]

Damn. I just relize it comes to theaters this Friday. I have to get some money to be able to go to see it.

[C J]

Hey guys, who here is going to watch the Friday matinee?!

Really, like the trailer and love the setting where if the desert doesn't kill yah then the ZOMBIES WILL! PERFECT SOLITUDE BABY!!!

[wildchid]

I'm definetly there for the Friday Matinee. I can't wait, but I guess I have to. Probably taking of the whole day friday.

[C J]

Hey, nice avatar!

Myself, the girlfriend and I are going to watch the 7 o'clock show this Friday.

[Sadogoat]

Heh, I guess I'm one of the few people around here who isn't excited about this new Resident Evil movie. I was unimpressed by the first one and I thought the second one was sheer nonsense - even my zombie 'fanboyism' couldn't redeem either film for me. Maybe it's my ingrained anti-Paul Anderson stance (fuelled by watching many of his other subpar films).....or the fact that the ridiculous over-the-top action setpieces (with annoying rock score accompaniment) just cause me to wince while watching them.

That said, I'll probably see it. But my expectations are pretty low. :)

You aren't alone. For some reason, from the preview clips, the movie doesn't look all that good. For a zombie film, I want realistic looking zombies and I am not really into the emphasis on the zombie dogs...sigh. I know, I know, it is a part of the Resident Evil Game, but I always played it because of the zombies.....

[zombiekilling101]

I dont care to see it either. will get the dvd probably.

[MrShape666]

Well, like I said, I've liked most of what Russel Mulchay has delivered over the years (going back to Razorback and Highlander), so I'm interested in seeing this. Mulchay has an interesting visual style, with elaborate transitions, so I'm curious to see how he'll apply that to the RE universe.

[Zompire]

I'm going to check it out tonight at an advanced screening. I'm pretty stoked. I like the other two movies so hopefully this one will be good. :eat:

[Dawn78]

I'm very excited about RE3. I think the RE saga is a decent effort and the first two films were entertaining. Certainly much better than Land of the Dead and all the Fulci crap that many people on here seem to like!

[Zombiekilla55]

Iunno how to explain this really, it's like I am excited for it to some extent, and then part of me just doesn't care... I'm probably going to go see it, but not till I see halloween for a fifth time tomorrow :)

[chickenchop1]

I hope the third one has better camera views of the zombies compared to part 2, less shaking camera work.

I'm interested in the setting of a deserted Las Vegas filled with zombies. I see Alice has superpowers now.

[Zombie Survivor]

Certainly much better than Land of the Dead and all the Fulci crap that many people on here seem to like!

This is blasphemy!... this is madness!

* C'mon, you know what you have to do here right?*

But seriously, those are classics. Never, and I mean NEVER, temper with classics. They'll haunt you and bit you in the... butt... :scare:

Anyway, I'm listening to the soundtrack of Extinction as we speak and it sounds good. I'm very curious and excited indeed :evil:

[as_i_lay_dying]

I didn't really like the 2nd film, but this one looks like its going to be the best out of all of them. The zombie efx are great!

[sirjacktorrance]

better tha land?land could be the worse of the GAR series but it´s a very good movie.the resident evil movies are a stupid mix of simple concepts,cheap and MTVesque action scenes without any smell of a good script or acting.the worse of that it´s that that movies has obscene budgets and land only 18 million dolars.and looked better than the two re movies toghether.the RE series are stupid,chessy infantile movies that has milla llovovic tits and horrible tecno music.resident evil series are THE CRAP itself

[Darth Erroneous]

I believe that the RE movies were a very good mixture of zombiesque elements as well as sci-fi. While they did differ greatly from the concepts of the games, it gave a fresh take on the franchise similar to the affects that Survivor, Outbreak, and Dead Aim did for the games. In time I believe that there will be a greater appreciation for them as the franchise evolves. And if not, at least I like them.

[Brian Blessed]

I thought that the first one was ok but the second one sucked donkey balls.

I hope they've learned their lesson and increased the zombie quotient and cut out the stupid aliens!

Will catch this one on DVD unless the reviews are amazing.

[DeadinWV]

I went to the midnight showing. It was better than part 2 but not as good as the first one. There are some really good parts but the script is straight from a sci-fi original movie

[MrShape666]

I went to the midnight showing. It was better than part 2 but not as good as the first one. There are some really good parts but the script is straight from a sci-fi original movie

That's one thing that kinda worries me, Mulchay is a great visual directer, but he doesn't always fight for a good script the way he should. That's how he managed to inflict Highlander 2: The Quickening on the world (which, too be fair, has just been eclipsed by the sci fi channel movie Highlander: The Source as the absolute nadir of that particular franchise . . . but I digress), and The Shadow really neaded some script work.

[Sadogoat]

Well, the director can only do so much with a crap script.....and Paul Anderson is notorious for penning screenplays that are pure style over substance, with stuff all attention to character development. Still....it could have been worse....Uwe Boll could have been behind it ;)

Oh, and incidentally, there is apparently rumor of a spin-off Resident Evil movie that revolves around Claire Redfield (Ali Larter). If Anderson keeps away from it, it may even have the potential to be decent. Milla won't be in it (she says she is now finished with the series) - but that's a good thing as far as I see it, because 'Alice' never struck me as being anything more than a ripoff of Alien Resurrection's Ripley 'hybrid'. Hopefully, if they make this flick, it'll be much closer tone of the games.

[corgi37]

Well, hopefully having an Aussie directing this will make it good.

[Dawn78]

The Res Evil films are much better than Land of the Crap. How can you say Land is a very good movie! LOL! LOL! LOL! Land is like a cheap tv soap, that comes on Channel 5 in Britain every day about 2pm. It just has a few zombies in it that's all. Land has no soul, what a meaningless pile of crap. Resident Evil 1 was a decent film, it was full of good action and the zombies were more believable. The plot was also decent, and the acting was much better than Land of the crap too! Nobody likes Land, not even zombie fans, it's a disgrace! :poo:

[MaxVeers]

There's just something I don't like about the Resident Evil movies. I tried watching the first one on SciFi last night, and I just couldn't. I can't place my finger on the reason, though. Part if it might be because it feels and looks like Aliens: Resurrection with zombies... A shitty action movie with a good villian. The zombies don't look that great, either, and the whole mutated monster aspect I just can't get into at all.

[Sadogoat]

Resident Evil 1 was a decent film, it was full of good action and the zombies were more believable.

Errr....what? More 'believable'? These would be the same 'flesh-eating' zombies that swarmed a guy (JD) in an elevator, only for him to reappear as one of them - marvellously intact - later in the same movie? Were they all on a 'low-protein' diet or something?

The plot was also decent, and the acting was much better than Land of the crap too! Nobody likes Land, not even zombie fans, it's a disgrace! :poo:

Well, the simple fact that you now claim to speak for everyone else does undermine your credibility. Personally, I didn't mind Land and I consider both Resident Evil films to date to be subpar, shallow nonsense for the MTV generation - however I'm not proclaiming this to be fact, but merely my opinion. To each their own, but don't presume to speak for all when you are only, in fact, expressing your own personal tastes.

land it´s perhaps the most intelliget zombie flick in years.It´s a shame that zombie fans don´t lke it but.

[chewy]

land it´s perhaps the most intelliget zombie flick in years.

*snicker* *giggle* BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Don't watch very many zombie films, do you? I'd have to say that Burning Angel's Re-Penetrator was a far more "intelliget" zombie flick than LotD. :lol: While it is leaps and bounds better than some of the other garbage out there (Zombie Nation & CotLD), Romero's ham-handed attempt at social commentary once again virtually ruined what could have been a decent flick. Then again, I'm not a big GAR fan.

[Zombie Survivor]

Land has no soul...

Just like zombies! :)

But I have one advise for you, don't speak like the things you say are facts. It's your opinion, and you're entitled to have one, but please cut the attitude. It's annoying. It would also help to be a little more civilized too.

P.S.
I think Land is an awesome movie and a worthy addition to Romero's Dead Legacy.

If you're looking for a legitimate debate over this, you will need to define what you mean by "intelligent".

Wouldnt it be better debated in the Land of the Dead thread.

Shaun of the Dead.

[Weasel]

I'm going to see it tonight, hopefully. It looks alot better than the first two, but that's probably overestimating it. The first one was good, but both of them could have been alot better, in my opinion. I'm going into the third one expecting the same. x.x

[chewy]

I completely agree with chewy. On to the subject of RE: Extinction though...I'm reading poor reviews. Anybody see it yet?

Not yet, but my review would be a bit jaded. I'm smitten with Mila Jovovich. :lol:

[Kemper]

My brother said it was mindless fun. I asked him further, but he said he would have to taze you bro. No you dick I'm not telling you anything.

[Sadogoat]

On to the subject of RE: Extinction though...I'm reading poor reviews.

That isn't really a surprise though, is it? The original Resident Evil movie only got a 33% rating on Rotten Tomatoes (based on 109 reviews) and Resident Evil: Apocalypse scored 21% (based on 116 reviews). Resident Evil: Extinction has - so far - scored 25% based on 20 reviews. The averages for the first two films is also moreorless the same over at Metacritic.com. Surely no-one was really expecting the trend to change dramatically?

[Helu]

Purlkey Sci Fi action wise I thought it was a pretty great and atmospheric post apocalyptic film, better than the first two, but it's pretty dumb.

[ZombiesAteMyDog]

in my opinion, this whole series would be alot better off without mila jovavich ( sp ), I really dont care for her and personaly dont think she is very atractive so she adds zero to the films for me ( in my eyes, just my opinion )

my biggest gripe about these RE movies is how little they have to do with the games, in my eyes the RE movie would be like if someone made a movie called king arthur and the knights of the round table, and it was about a guy named bill who lived on a spaceship and killed mystical outerspace vampire aliens, if you can disasociate the movies from the games, they are OK ( mediocre at best ) zombie flicks.

that being said this movie looks OK, im going to see it sunday night after the bears game , I truely expect this to be middle of the road mediocracy at its best, not great, not horible, just kinda there with a few fun bits here and there like the first 2.

[hardcharger]

Just got back from seeing it. I had a lot of fun. Storywise, it is pretty much like any PWS Anderson flick, so don't get yer hopes too high up there. There are some great visuals and cool action sequences. If you liked the first two, you'll really enjoy it. It's certainly better then the first two in many respects.

[UNDEAD FRED]

To anyone who saw it allready, how are the zombies? I plan on seeing it Monday.

[Victor Clark]

I thought that RE: Extinction was a damn good zombie flick! Although I was dissapointed by the fact that not a lot of the movie was in the ruined Las Vegas. Why weren't there any scenes of them in the abandoned casinos, fighting zombified showgirls & Elvis Impersonators?
Other than that the movie was great! It had a lot of gore, some good one-liners, great action sequences and some great scenes showing the apocoliptic remains of the southwest states. I especially liked that Hummer!

Saw it.. Don't expect anything great to come from this movie, as how the last two were, but it's definately worth seeing. It is well put together, but if you knew nothing of the games or other movies you'd feel a little left out. Too many game references..

The gore was up to par. Wasn't lacking..
The atmosphere, greeeeeat. I was decently scared in some parts. It's what they should've put in the first movie.. and second.
As for zombies, there is plenty. Some that run, some that don't. The ones that run kinda look like mutants, but the slower ones look like the decomposed dead all(or most) of us love. Definitely looked great! Oh, and there's even zombie crows. A million of them. o.O How they die is pretty stupid, and that whole aspect of the movie kind of ruins it.
Mucho deaths and ass kicking to keep the action going.
Lastly, the scenery was great. It's amazing to see what the movies can accomplish nowadays.

this movie is following a trend that I cant stand... rap (or r and b) artists acting, who cant act. ashanti is her name? even from the previews that we see... she cant act.. recently happened in smokin aces with that one female....

[corgi37]

And Nick Cannon in the maybe never to be seen Day of the Dead.

Trailer for RE3 looks good, but to me, a bit too Mad Max-ish. Still, entertainment is the name of the game.

I'll go see it one of these days.

***Spoiler***

Saw it.
What I liked? Love the desert setting, small actions scenes, and Milla Jo looked hot. I too thought they could have spent time at the Casino.

Throughout the story, had little originality and it took too many ideas from other great zombie films and rolled it up into 1 big zombie combo film. For example,:

It had the whole Mad Max theme from the very beginning with the Rollercade.

The infected Crows of the 28 days later scene in which the crow was eating the dead.

Finally, the experiments in the lab where the Dr.'s are trying to domesticate the Zombies. A cell phone and childrens toys give me a break.

One other note, almost being indestructable isn't very interesting.

[Kemper]

It was good mindless fun. Only thing that bothered me is...I can take tough chicks in my movies (alice) if it is genetics, but more than that is just weak.

Uh, no. The crows are from RESIDENT EVIL (the game) . They had the crows before 28 Days Later by quite a few years. I hated those damn crows....:scare:

[Zombiekilla55]

Underestimated this one a little bit (dont love it as much as halloween) but I LOVE it ^_^

[Helu]

Until this film I didn't notice how similar the series was to the romero films.

First film has initial outbreak in an enclosed area. Second film has a larger urban setting as the outbreak spreads, and the third is a while after the worlds been overrun, with scientist doing experiments and what not.

Not a huge similarity, but still it's there.

I enjoyed the movie. It was pretty good. The last fight scene was to short for my taste though.

I was, however, suprised at the number of kids in the theatre. Why didn't my parents take me to these kinds of movies when I was little? It seemed like everyother group had a child between 3-9.
The most disturbing part of the movie was the little boy behind me who kept giggling everytime somebody died all the while making remarks like "boom", and "now you dead". It kind of freaked me out.

[chewy]

Just saw it. Fun ride. I enjoyed it.

[MrShape666]

I just saw this. It was an entertaining romp. Lots more zombie action then the last film. Mulcahy seems to have toned down his usually eclectic visual style for this one. There was a lot of really cool looking zombies. Anderson's script was his usual style of getting from point A to point B without much in between. But it did keep me entertained. It was nice to see the crows in there finally. Also, this one was more of a horror film then either of previous entrys, which scimped on scares in favor of more action. Like the first film, as a zombie picture its not bad, but as an adaption of the games, its way off base. Also, that was an interesting ending.

[UNDEAD FRED]

i also saw it today i really really like i give it a 10/10


Your right, Ill give it a 8.5/10

[zombiekilling101]

is it worth 18 bucks?

keep in mind i thought number 1 was bad but ok, and number 2 was shit but had some good moments.

18 bucks? Where the **** does a movie cost $18?

[C J]

Many here enjoyed the movie I wish I could say the same. Still love the video game though. Speaking of which does anyone know when will the next game be released?

[chickenchop1]

RExtinction had parts of: (slight spoilers)

Day of the Dead (zombie test where zombie becomes familiar with modern gadgets, and the underground base with the exterior fence surrounded by hundreds of zombies), The Birds (lots of crows) and a little bit of Star Wars (force abilities). The Nemesis-like monster looks WAY better than the actual Nemesis from Resident Evil the Movie 2. More grit, realism, except for the tentacle effect.

Better than Part 2 in my opinion. Most of the movie takes place in the daytime, which I liked. Some good zombie death scenes, and this time, the camera is under control most of the time, so you can see what's happening to the zombies. Decent gore. Seems like it's an ongoing movie series based on the ending.

If you liked the first one, this one's worth watching. But yeah, the RE games are still better in my opinion, regarding the characters and storyline.

girlfriend.................

[corgi37]

Oh, thats just the start. Ya also got popcorn, coke, ice-cream. Then she'll expect you to take her for a bit of shopping. Maybe a quick snack afterwards.

$18.00 - Mate, thats just the frigging beginning!

Then, you marry.

Then, you die.

Thats about it.

Went to a matinee today. Definitely the best of the series!! This one had LOTS of zombies and none of that stupid stop frame camera work from part 2. Looking forward to an unrated cut when it hits disc so that maybe a bit more zombie gore will be in it such as the one feasting on the roadway. The only thing that bothered me was that Ashanti, or whatever her name is, doing a pathetic job of acting and the Claire character who came off as a know-it-all control freak of a bitch from her first scene to the last. She really needed to tone it down a good bit on the whole "I'm a bad ass single working mom who can stand on my own" thing. It became very tiring and irritating. Other than those two things I really enjoyed this flick. Keep in mind that I am very much a fan of the first two so this one might be hated by people who didn't like those. I think the fact that this one took us out of the mansion and the hive and opened up alot more dangers with mostly daylight scenes was the key ingredient to it's success for me. Gotta side with Chickenchop on the idea that this is not the last one. There's just no way that ending is the finale. Definitely a big thumbs up!!:clap:

I agree on all those points also I got a Day of the Dead feel at the begining with the whold domestication of zombies idea.

not this one. she doesnt like horror all that too much and doesnt even like goign to the movies:) shes a keeper though

[Kemper]

Anytime a zombie movie does well...I'm happy whether I like it or not. It means more movies. I think zombies have moved to the Vampire level and people will continue to do them.

I just saw it. I wouldn't say it was a good movie and I wouldn't say it was a bad movie, but one thing I will say it didn't have enough zombie action in it. What's bald guys in uniforms? What was that? I don't even want to go there. I would prefer all zombie movies to be taken at night, it's much better, for suspense reasons. And you are right about Ashanti's acting. They should ban every hip hop, and r&b singer from doing movies: Horror movies! And you're definitely right about that Claire, whatever her name is, she was completely out of line and out of touch with what was around her. We really needed a strong male for that role. And I don't want to start anything but the men died too easily in this film, which we needed to see a lot of heroic effort from them. What's dying in a fuel truck, and that was even corny how the truck tipped over, not even reaching the gate, for those women. Not one man was in the helicopter to put the women and children up. This movie had it's short comings, but I like this installment and the first movie.:-(

Yeah I heard it did very well in the box office. So do you guys think that means more zombie films on the way?

[corgi37]

Pulled in about $24mill U.S. on opening. Thats pretty damn good for a second sequel. Opens in Oz on Oct 11. Things are looking good lately. We got this, I am legend later on, and surely one of these days, Diary.

I think we can forget about Day.

[jackskellington]

Now that RE3 is out of the way I can concentrate all of my "getting excited about a movie" energy on I Am Legend! Can't wait for that one!!!
