Missed Opportunity
7 August 2023
I was looking forward to this movie the minute it got announced early this year. So when I finally was able to watch it, I was...

Really letdown. It was a huge missed opportunity

You had all but 2 of the main characters from the RE franchise. All together interacting with one another for the first time and it just fell flat

The story was okay. Its more or less what you may expect from a video game adaptation but it could have been better. That's another thing that bothers me. So far, we've seen some really good adaptations from video games such as the Last of Us and now Twisted Metal. There should be no excuses for such a letdown especially for a franchise with such a huge and dedicated fanbase like RE

The dialogue was where it felt letdown for me the most: there could have just been so much more done with it and make it so much more intriguing. Even RE: Infinite Darkness did a better job than this

There are some positives: the animation looked amazing, and the action sequences were satisfying. The main villain's motivations was adequate enough and does explore some effects of trauma

But still, as a long time fan of the series, I was really disappointed. It was a missed opportunity.
