Reaction shot: Resident Evil Extinction (or, Mad Max with zombies!)

[spindizzy]

Okay but the thing that's interesting as well is tracking the improvements in graphic UIs, because that's quite cool. It's really weird tracking over a decade in cinema through one franchise, okay!

I yelled on twitter here, and Sam yelled here!

• EYES.


• Sam: She's NOT an umbrella.


• Sam, watching the intro to RE3: Ummmmmm?


• Sam keeps pointing out that now would be a great time for Alice to realise she's dreaming and wake up.


• Sam: It's okay, it's a dream, it doesn't have to make sense.
  Sam: Oh it's not a dream, it's a clone... So it does have to make sense!


• Sam: Resident Evil Post-Apocalypse.


• HOW DID IT SPREAD THOUGH.


• Like, I don't need them to go "The water is drying up!!!!" I will believe you if you just tell me that America is like that!


• Sam: So... She's still evil, right?


• "You bitch. You dropped my baby." GOD I HATE EVERYONE IN THIS BAR.


• WHY IS THERE AN ATTEMPTED RAPE. IT'S UNNECESSARY AND NO ONE WANTS THAT.


• OBLIGATORY ZOMBIE DOGS


• Tonks: So this is now Mad Max but with zombies?


• Why would you blood spatter across your OPEN WINDOWS.


• In A Gadda Da Vida came on and we ALL started foot tapping in unison. (Apparently it's not "In the Garden of Eden!" Today I learned!


• "Would I lie to you?" GO AWAY YOU HANDSOME BASTARD AND TAKE YOUR FACE WITH YOU.


• Oliviera and LJ made it out alive and together! I'm glad!


• I'm not gonna lie, I do kinda want the fic where Carlos invites LJ to the orgy he's having with Jill and Alice, to which LJ's just like "... You wanna get naked with two women who could murder you without blinking?" "If you don't want to —" "No, no, I want to, but we're both gonna die."


• Sam: Jesus, it's almost like unleashing a zombie virus was a terrible idea!


• This is actually kinda returning to the origin of zombie myths, isn't it? That not even death will save you from having to KEEP WORKING FOR YOUR FUCKING EVIL CAPITALIST OVERLORDS.


• Sam: No crow, don't do it! You'll be infected with the T-virus!
  Me: *poker face*


• Me: DUDE I shot you in the dick like three times! Fall over already!


• HELLO BEAUTIFUL MEDIC.


• Betty and LJ: *flirt*
  Carlos: ... I'm leaving.


• LJ NO. BEING BIT IS BAD FOR YOU.


• IAIN GLEN STOP THAT.


• ... Otto tells her that they're running out of food and she immediately. hands her tin of food to someone else.


• "All that smoking's slowing you down. Get your ass in gear, old man."


• LJ NO. HOW ARE YOU GONNA HAVE A HOT DATE IF YOU CAN'T LET HER ANYWHERE NEAR YOU BECAUSE SHE'LL NOTICE YOU'VE BEEN BITTEN BY A FUCKING ZOMBIE.


• HIDE FROM THE STORM!


• CLAIRE NO YOU ARE GOING TO GET DEAD FOR A PACKET OF FUCKING CIGARETTES.


• Sam: My theory is that she's not evil, but she is a clone. And the Alice that went off at the end of the last movie... Is just fucking dead.


• SHE LOOKS SO DONE WITH ALL OF THIS.


• HOW DO YOU EVEN HAVE SENSORS FOR PSIONIC ACTIVITIES.


• I'm pretty sure that the clones don't all have psychic powers, right?


• Sam: Alfred Hitchcock's The Zombie Birds!


• OH NO. NOT THE ZOMBIE BIRDS.


• Sam: Everyone try not get eaten by zombie birds on the way through!
  Lady: *eaten by birds*
  Sam: WHAT DID I JUST SAY.


• BETTY DESERVED BETTER.


• I don't think Sam is impressed with Alice showing up to set everything on fire.


• I'M SURE GEOMETRIC IS NOT THE WORD YOU MEAN.


• STOP KILLING ALICES.


• Okay but all of their zombies are in matching blue jumpsuits. Is that done pre- or post-mortem, because imagine your job being to put the clean blue jumpsuits on the angry zombies.


• Milla Jovovich naked and in an egg! Which is close enough to in a box that I'm willing to count it!


• Alice tries so hard to be nice! She tries! She's not a hundred percent sure she knows how to people any more, but she wants to! And K-Mart is like HI WELCOME TO THE FAMILY.


• Sam thought they were going to snog, and haha! Incorrect!


• Okay, she's apparently stayed off the grid by... Not walking under the paths of satellites? Is that how that works?


• ... I don't even know if you can GET to Alaska from Salt Lake City. What.


• THEY'RE GOING TO VEGAS, BABY. I like how Alice just gets adopted into their command structure to give input on where they go next.


• I'M SURE THE MASSIVE CRATE UNDER THE HELICOPTER IS FINE AND NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.


• Book: Living people! Loving people!
  Alice: *looks at K-Mart napping on Oliviera*
  Me: ... Oh no, how dare you.


• That's a planet of the apes reference! I understood that!


• So everywhere just got buried? Is that even possible? Let alone plausible?


• ... Wait, the zombie birds just ate the entire city? Fuuuuuuuuuuck.


• "A cowboy climbing the Eiffel Tower with a sniper rifle. A few years ago that would have caused a stir." ... I'm pretty sure you can't make those jokes anymore, which explains how fucking old this movie is.


• STOP AIMING CENTRE MASS. IT'S BEEN FIVE YEARS.


• ... Umbrella have EYE CAMS. What.


• LJ GET OUT OF THAT CAR.


• "Then shut her down," is the most ominous sentence in a franchise where the only thing keeping you alive is your speed.


• LJ NO. LJ NO.


• Did Alice just fry a satellite WITH HER BRAIN.


• "Where the hell is she going?! ... Oh shit."


• ... The horrible, awful plus side of everyone dying is that you can absolutely fit everyone on that helicopter now!


• His arm is just RAW MEAT right now.


• "Summary liquidation" sure is a polite euphemism for death, wtf corporate drone.


• "Liquidation?"
  "... Just die."


• BUT HOW DID YOU ALL GET THERE. YOU WERE ALMOST OUT OF FUEL.


• I think Angie is probably going to be dead, isn't she? Because she won't have anyone supplying her with the antivirus anymore, so there won't have been anything controlling her mutation.


• WHY IS IT TOO LATE TO FIX CARLOS, LJ LASTED LIKE TWO WHOLE FUCKING DAYS.


• Me: YAY HUGGING FOR A LAST GOODBYE!
  Sam: And now they kiss with tongue!
  Alice and Carlos: *kiss with tongue*
  Me: ... Aw, film, no!


• CARLOS DESERVED BETTER. HE'S SO PRETTY AND NICE AND DESERVED BETTER.


• But I guess at least he got the convoy's last spliff?


• (That shot is really weird and I know objectively it's weird because it's two different shots being stuck together, but the way they're stuck together is kinda weird!)


• IT'S CONVENIENT THAT CLAIRE KNOWS HOW TO FLY A HELICOPTER BECAUSE NO ONE EVER MENTIONED ON SCREEN.


• WHY ARE THERE SO MANY DEAD ALICES. I KNOW THAT THERE WERE LIKE 87 DEAD ALICES, BUT COME ON MY DUDE, LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES.


• Okay, so every movie has at least one person with amnesia. In the first one it was Alice and Spence, in the second one it was Matt, in the third one it's probably all the Alice clones...


• Alice is SO DONE with all of this shit, but at least she's just like "Ah, okay, the White Queen, explain the plot to me," instead of "And now we throw down with a hologram."


• ENJOY THAT MENTION OF ALICE SYNTHESISING A CURE, BECAUSE THAT'S NOT COMING UP AGAIN.


• White Queen seems nice! Probably still evil, but at least less inclined to immediate murder!


• Did he just Vlad the Impaler his ENTIRE STAFF?


• Oh hey, it's egg Alice!


• Sam: ~I just diiiiied in my aaaaarms tonight!~


• TENTACLES TIME.


• Remember: do not use any power that takes you out of the fight unless you're sure that using it will end the fight!


• Ohhhhhh no, not THAT room! DON'T GO IN THERE.


• It's like he forgot the existence of his own fucking death trap.


• Sam: There's two of them now! That's going to make the next movie a bit confusing!
  Me: Oh friend. Oh friend.
  Sam: ... I don't like the way that you that.


• Camera: *pans through room of clones*
  Sam: Okay then. OKAY THEN.
