My review is heavily based on the movie/game relationship

Rating: 1/10 (31 July 2010)

I saw the trailer for Afterlife and i got to thinking, "People need to know how whether this series is good or not." So here's my opinion. I think the Resident Evil movies are a waste of money and time. My opinion is based on mainly the relation of the Video Game series, yes the movies are based on a video game series, as well as the movie itself. Well the story is completely messed up, the story has next to nothing to do with the games. They took the games titles as well as the names of some of the characters, without successfully portraying them properly, other than that, they took the name of the town, and that's pretty much it.
There was no hive in the games, and Alice (The protagonist of the films) isn't even from the games! They got the virus all wrong and never got anywhere close to the plot of the games. Some people may say that, "Both the games and the movies are about a Zombie apocalypse, they got the story right." Wrong, The story is much deeper than that. If the movies were not named after the games, i would have passed of the things they actually took from the games as simple allusions.
If you don't play the games, you might actually enjoy the films, the plot may be a little messed up and simple, but the action is OK and i can't complain too much about the acting. With relation to the games, i give it a 1/10, without 6.3/10. If your curios about the real storyline of the games, please watch a retrospective. I'm sorry if i come off as rude or biased, but it's hard for someone who loves the games so much. Peace to you all.
