Resident Evil: Afterlife

[Super Mario]

All it shows is Jill and Chris in an arguement at gunpoint and some australian guy. : (

 

[Splintered]

BTW WAT IS THIS

Was reserving judgment until

the guy from capcom said it was being made to "spice up" the RE franchise in time for the movie

fail

The 3DS is quite sexy.

 

[Max Payne]

Dude save it for when there's at least a trailer that tells whats going on, or shows what the gameplay looks like. I mean damn, I know its been rough but give it a chance. Wtf was wrong with the trailer that made you write it off instantly like this?

the fact that they said it was being made to hype that stupid movie

can you not read?

 

[Makoeyes987]

That's stupid, I agree. But that still doesn't change the fact it could be a good game.

If this plays more like Lost in Nightmares, then there's good potential here.

 

[Max Payne]

save your bullshit optimism for someone who has the patience for it

 

[Strangelove]

You don't know if it's going to be mediocre Dac, give it a chance. It actually looks like it'll be scary or at least more than just shooting shit and pretending to be a badass. It's got potential.

Everytime you're not hating on something now, I wonder what horrible thing you're planning

 

[Max Payne]

I've been rewatching these shitty movies, and geez they may as well rename them "Mary Sue". I mean wtf. The entire second movie is one big Alice worship session, where she gets to save the poor defenseless RE characters as they blunder through the film as incompetent "badasses" like Ms. Jill I'm so cool cause I smoke Valentine.

Oh and the shitfest culminates in a hand to hand fight between Alice and Nemesis to see whose Kung Fu is stronger. What a fucking joke. Also, killing zombies by breaking their fucking necks is some of the dumbest shit ever.

 

[Super Mario]

Yep. Paul Anderson sucks that way.

 

[Max Payne]

"This is my first 3D film, and it won't be my last," says director Paul W.S. Anderson in the introduction to a scene from his forthcoming Resident Evil: Afterlife. We've toddled along to Sony's London HQ for a preview of the franchise's leap into the third dimension. And as the cinema lights dim, and we balance our huge glasses precariously on our noses, we're desperately trying to ignore a creeping sense of cynicism.
After a string of 3D movies that have ranged from the so-so to the downright awful, we're wondering just how much more murky, blurry, subpar stereoscopic movies we can stomach. The Last Airbender's dreary visuals failed to capture our imagination, while Piranha 3D was more draining than awe-inspiring.
There's hope, however, that Afterlife can change our attitude to 3D. Shot using the same technology and personnel as last year's Avatar, Anderson states in his introduction that the technique has been considered "as part of the script writing process", and insists that 3D will soon become "the industry standard".
As a demonstration of Anderson's handiwork, we're shown a sequence called Axe Man, and as a taste of the tone and quality of the finished film, it performs the task efficiently enough. The technology may originate from Avatar, but its visuals couldn't be more different from James Cameron's luminous fantasy.
About to descend into a storm drain in a zombie-infested Los Angeles, Alice (Milla Jovovich) and Claire Redfield (Heroes' Ali Larter) suddenly come face to face with the dreaded Executioner Majini, who looks identical to his videogame counterpart in Resident Evil 5, with his vast axe, sackcloth mask and body studded with nails.
A pitched battle ensues, as Alice and Claire avoiding swings of their enemy's colossal axe in Matrix-style slow motion. Bullets fly, blood flows, and the scene culminates in what is literally a money shot. For reasons that we're sure will become clear in the full film, the Executioner's body is revealed to be full of coins...
If we're being brutally honest, the 3D in Afterlife isn't up to the standards of Avatar itself (although that does set some standard), and objects in the foreground sometimes looked quite blurred when the camera's on the move. As a showcase for the possibilities of 3D, Zack Snyder's Legend Of The Guardians was more convincing, which makes us wonder whether the technique is more effective when explored within the confines of pure CG.
Nevertheless, Anderson's clearly had fun with the possibilities that his 3D technology has provided, with axes swooping out of the screen, combat sequences filmed among shimmering curtains of water, and the preview clip ending on a gory high, with blood apparently splattering against our specs.
How the completed film will fare is, of course, impossible to say from one scene alone. We just hope that Anderson hasn't allowed himself to become too carried away with showing objects flying in and out of the screen. Used sparingly, it's an arresting effect, but will diminish rapidly if overused.
We're still not entirely sure, either, whether 3D movies will become the industry standard in the future as Anderson suggests, but we left the Afterlife preview reassured that its 3D presentation is a cut above the mediocre post-production efforts we've been subjected to in recent months.
We're still wondering exactly why the Executioner was full of coins, though...
Resident Evil: Afterlife will be released in the UK on 10 September.

. For reasons that we're sure will become clear in the full film, the Executioner's body is revealed to be full of coins...

His body

Full of coins

coins

The fuck is this horseshit

[Interslicery]

Saw the trailer for the first time in 3d tonight while seeing piranha. so, by their standards good 3d means shit jumps out at you? it was the exact same as any other 3d movie only the 3d was implemented more. not better, but more.

and coins? wtf? did he hear about scott pilgrim while he was making it and thought it would be a good idea since it's a video game movie or some shit?

 

[Makoeyes987]

ROTFL what?

Full of coins? Is that some sort of joke or homage to how when you kill random majini they leave behind gold? WTF?

 

[Tetsujin]

A pitched battle ensues, as Alice and Claire avoiding swings of their enemy's colossal axe in Matrix-style slow motion.

See, this is why the action in the RE movies fails. That kind of slo-mo Matrix crap has become obsolete years ago.

Also, I don't mind 3D.
The way it was done in Avatar was pretty good. Because they didn't use the annoying "IN YER FACE"-kind of 3D where shit keeps flying at you every few seconds.

Thing is, it pretty much looks like this'll be the kind of gimmick 3D movie which does exactly just that. =/

Full of coins? Is that some sort of joke or homage to how when you kill random majini they leave behind gold? WTF?

Could be. Remember the first movie and the laser corridor? When they re-entered the room, the corpses and body parts were gone and one of the characters wondered what happened to them. I always wondered what the fuck was up with that because in the end, they never actually explained what happened.

Turns out it was just an homage to the games, where corpses disappear once you leave the room and come back.
Ugh. x_x

 

[Super Mario]

So in order to become a millionaire, we have to beat The Executioner!

 

[Celes Chere]

Lmao, if they put coins on the enemies to show that they drop treasure/items, then maybe they should litter the area with red and green herbs as well.

God that would be ridiculous.
owait

Agreed. That shit's getting old and annoying.

I always thought zombies ate them or something. What the fuck? That's so stupid. XD

 

[Max Payne]

See, this shit is why you don't let idiots make films about their girlfriends.

 

[Interslicery]

He's talking to you too Rob Zombie.

 

[Makoeyes987]

You know, they could've been cool and had the executioner explode in like...a swarm of plagas or some shit.

But no. They had to be dumbfucks and have him burst out in coins. Like a jackpot slot machine.

Fail.

 

[Super Mario]

I hate Paul S. Anderson. Become an Cieth please and try to direct a fucking decent film without making your girlfriend a Black Hole Sue that drains away the fucking plot.



God damn I wish the idiots at Capcom went for Romero's script than this idiot. He ruined AVP as well.

 

[Interslicery]

Oh yay, we get 2 jovoviches in this one where teams up with her clone. I totally forgot about that scene at the end of 3

[Makoeyes987]

You forgot about the Alice's lil' Sue Hench-women In Training?

Or as I like to call, her lil' shits?

Cause nothing says "survival horror and zombies" like a bunch of ugly bitch clones running around on screen like an episode of Naruto.

How could you not know this? The things are in the trailers for this crap.

 

[Super Mario]

Sometimes I wish this Wesker won and killed all the Alices then Claire and Chris kill Wesker. Bittersweet ending (but really a happy ending for us) for them, but hey! at least we got rid of that fucking Black Hole Sue! : D

Eh, I thought it was the other girl.
