Okay, finally watched this and it is without a single doubt the most faithful video game adaptation ever made
It wasn’t amazing, but any fans of the series, especially those who have recently played 1/2, should be fairly happy with this. The amount of subtle things they added in as direct links to the game, whether it being a direct scene out of the game, items used in the game, the characters involved, the motives, etc… obviously they changed plenty too, but throughout the whole thing I kept thinking how amazed I was that someone finally understood what making a video game movie is all about. Give the fans the thing they fell in love with in a different format, rather than trying to reinvent the goddamn wheel.
I’m guessing we won’t get a sequel, but I hope it did well enough with fans for people to take notice of how a video game adaptation should be done.

No movie has ever captured the feel of the game it’s based on as well as this. If you like the games it’s worth watching just for that
Nothing else about the movie is really remarkable, but nothing is glaringly wrong with it either
Couldn’t agree more.
I am surprised about the comments trashing on the acting, as the acting while bad in parts, was far better overall than any RE movie outside maybe the first. Even then I could be flat out wrong, since I haven’t seen the first in some time.
