Saw RE:A tonight. Some thoughts:
- Those who didn't play the game must have been *really* confused when
Jill erupted in the police station: she already knew what to expect and how
to deal with it. Still, one or two lines of dialogue explaining her actions would
have been welcome for them.
- Replacing Claire's entrance in the Umbrella headquarters for Alice's and
basically having her do the same things move for move was simultaneously
exciting and frustrating to watch: keep it for the third installment or do the
scene properly.
The movie had a videogame "feel", which must be responsible for my
partial appreciation of it. RE:A was loosely based on the 3rd game and
made much more sense (in terms of what RE is) than the first, which I
found completely lacking. Alice has disturbing potential for the 3rd movie
and the Nemesis was a lot of fun to see on the big screen. Jill was very
sexah and Olivera had bad-ass written all over him. Say what you want
but the token black man was the shit: he made my day...
