Resident Rubbish

Rating: 3/10 (20 September 2010)

So...Where do I begin? The film received a lot of hype on this site due to it's 3-D nature. I read so many comments claiming that this was the best live-action film to utilise 3-D since James Cameron's Avatar. I personally thought the 3-D was poorly executed even though the director utilised the proper technology in order to shoot the film completely in 3-D. During the film I kept on lifting my 3-D glasses in order to see the difference, and apart from a very clear, crisp picture, I can't say that the 3-D added a significant amount of depth to any of the scenes. So, if you are thinking of going to the cinema to watch this one in 3-D, my advice would be to avoid it at all costs...
The plot? Well, it's pretty much in the same category with the other resident evil films, so if you are a big fan of the original on the psone then you are going to be disappointed yet again with this new instalment of the resident evil franchise. The acting is sub-par at best, too many slow-mo scenes which are badly executed and a general cheesiness to the whole of the film still exists.
If you are new to the Resident evil live action films, my advice would be for you to avoid it, as it will most likely feel like a waste of time.
