I went to see the new Resident Evil movie twice, because of who I am as a person. Somehow my friends, who know better, actually agreed to let me drag them along! Despite splend's endless question marks over how the previous Resident Evil movieverse ended! And then it hit streaming services like a month later as well, because the apocalypse is fucking wild!

TL;DR Jill Valentine is great, 10/10, favourite character, she deserves to climb the guy from Black Sails like a tree; I guess the other storylines are there too?

I don't know if I have an actual tl;dr except for "GIVE HANNAH JOHN-KAMEN ALL THE WORK SHE WANTS!" It's not the worst Resident Evil movie overall or that I've seen in the last three months! I'm informed by people who have actually played the games that Welcome to Raccoon City does a pretty good job of cramming RE1 and RE2 into one thing; I know literally nothing about any of the games that involve Claire, so I'm guessing that's what RE2 is. Does it actually feel like a lot of set-up, or am I just impatient because I was more interestd in the mansion branch of this story than the rest of it? Who could say.

... But it definitely needed more Jill Valentine.

Another one where I'm not too sure I stuck the landing, but I tried! And the trying is the important part! Can't get my eye back in if I don't try!

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!

splend has never seen any of the Resident Evil movies past the first one, and because I am the GREATEST SISTER IN LAW of all time, I obviously brought all of them round to inflict on him. We're probably watching the first three today and the next three another day, and sadly scarimonious can't come and yell about them, but she's with us in spirit twitter and tim-tams! THIS IS FOR YOU.

My initial tweetstorm is here! splend's is here!
