Resident Evil - TV Series Review

Watched the TV series and while I didn't hate it? I didn't love it either. I get more of a "Why does this exist?" feeling from it than anything.

I dislike shows that skip around from the future to the past. It screws with the narrative and is usually fairly hokey. I just watched West World and the first two seasons were fantastic. Then, it took an entirely weird direction into this is the future this is the past and the show was no longer good. The same thing applied with Resident Evil. I could have done without the Zombie Apocalypse storyline completely. I actually thought the New Raccoon City stuff was far more compelling. Maybe that was because we were given some sort of insight into Umbrella. The actors were good for the script they were given, but the script was not very good or well thought out and there were a lot of 'modern references' that will date the show. The show felt like something the CW would put out with slightly better graphics. I will say the monsters did look good. I almost wish they had found a way to do without the Zombie Apocalypse and incorporate them into the New Raccoon City storyline instead.

All in all, it was mediocre. I'll probably not find a reason to watch it again. The characters were meh, the twists were bad, the script was very CW young teen drama. I definitely feel they would have done better if they had just forgone the name Wesker and made the series about a couple of unknown characters. It sort of felt like I was watching fanfiction and someone had made up multiple OC children and then children of OC children. Rating, 5.5/10

So I saw Welcome to Raccoon City

Spoilers Ahead. If you haven't seen the movie, go no further.

I'm going to be honest, I didn't like it. You can like it and that's fine. That's your opinion, but this is mine. So let's start with the good because I hate to be one of those people who's 100% negative all the time. The atmosphere of the movie is good. I like that they tried to do survival horror. The set design of the movie is great. So, props to whoever was in charge of that. But, that was pretty much all I liked about the movie. There were flickers of good ideas, and teases of passion but for the most part the movie fell flat. When you start checking your phone during a movie, it's not done well. You should be immersed enough that you don't need to look at another screen. I found myself checking my phone, a lot. So what was the real problem with it then? We'll get to the characters in a bit, but let's start with the plot. It was crowded. They tried to do too much in too short of time and it was boring. They moved from place to place to place and didn't give enough time for suspense and the payoff for the suspense nothing really happened in this movie. There were no hordes of zombies in Raccoon City. There was one single licker, two dogs, a crow or two, and a handful of zombies. That's it. They made a horror movie with no horror. The only reason the movie was rated R was because the characters sad fuck every other word. Which brings me to another issue I had with this movie. The characters.

Oh my god. This was so bad. What the fuck. (Also, that is how you use the word fuck in a sentence). Now I can't really blame the actors because they worked with the script they were given. But the script was garbage. There was very little character development despite them trying to develop the characters. Like, I felt absolutely nothing when they were in the mansion later in the movie. Let's start with Leon. Leon S. Kennedy in the games is a rookie cop, yes. But he isn't a shitbag. Yes, I said it. In the movie Leon is portrayed as a lazy shitbag who doesn't want to be there, didn't take his training seriously, and is garbage at his job. Just because he picks up a rocket launcher in the end and says Carlos's line from RE3R doesn't make it a character arc. He's just shitbag with a rocket launcher. That was probably the worst out of the characters. Wesker. Didn't work for Umbrella. Didn't know what the fuck was going on. Didn't wear sunglasses. Wasn't a scientist. Had some half assed reason for betraying the team. Felt like some normal guy in the sticks. Like I get that you're trying to humanize him and that's fine, but you don't take out everything that makes the character to do it. You can still make a villain a villain and give them human qualities. Hell you could make him a conflicted villain. In this he wasn't even a villain. Hell, The Rock did betrayal better in a movie I saw on Netflix recently. Make him act one way throughtout the movie and then suddenly shift gears at the reveal because he's a spy and that's what they do. Not that hard. Jill, I kind of dislike what they've done to Jill recently. They seem to associate being bitchy with being a badass and that's not really what it needs to be. But making her...I guess come off as strong as she did? Kind of a strange choice. Not gonna lie. I don't mean strong like she overcame adversity. I mean strong like in your face. A woman doesn't have to be in your face to be strong. Jill in RE1R was strong because she was thrust into a situation and although at first she froze and was freaking out, she overcame it. This Jill was just...no. Chris is kind of hard to get wrong. The weird thing with Birkin though was dumb and I didn't understand that plot point at all. But they could have cut out the orphanage stuff and I wouldn't have missed it at all. Claire and Chris were estranged which I found weird. But meh. I understood why they put Richard on the team. They needed someone to kill off. Not much to say there except they could have mentioned Barry like "richard's filling in today because Barry's on vacation with his family" 10 seconds and it's done. The Birkin monster talking at the end was just cringe worthy. The third act was so rushed. I guess, I just have very little good to say about this movie. I have so many nit pick things I could go on about. And some of it may be character headcanon things, but a lot of it is just base character traits. As for the story, they would have benefitted from making this into a netflix series instead of whatever Wesker's Children abomination that's going to come out. Then they could have had buildup, developed the stars team, developed umbrella (which there was no development of in this movie), and given us some decent survival horror by splitting up 1, 2, 3. Honestly, I hope there is not a sequel to this.

"I was put into service eight years ago. AIs deteriorate after seven, Chief." This is a custom Cortana model I made, the tattoos were hard to get right on her body and line up. It was another thing to make her transparent in the rendering software. That had a bit of a learning curve.

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City

Some more thoughts on the live action movie. While I'm slightly more hesitant than I was a few months ago I'm still going to give the movie a chance to disappoint before I'm disappointed. I'm not loving the look of some of the characters but that isn't the actors faults, that's the costume designer's fault. Jill's onesie is terrible. She looks like a garage mechanic. And Wesker isn't wearing sunglasses, gloves, and doesn't have slicked back hair. I mean, you had one job? How hard is it to grab a pair of $2 sunglasses from the bodega down the street? It definitely couldn't be worse than Alice and her mind powers or Wesker being killed by a door. So I mean? I do want to see how they blend 1,2, and 3 into a single movie. That's a lot of material and a lot of characters to shove into two hours. So I'm concerned that they're going to try and do too much and it's gonna be a mess.

The lack of a trailer or any kind of teaser is also a little concerning considering the movie is supposed to come out in two months. Makes me thing they don't have anything finished enough or the studio has too many hands in the pot which is never good for a movie.

Been playing a lot of Aliens: Fireteam Elite lately and I had the urge to make some artwork. It turned out pretty cool. Gotta have that gross Xeno spit.

Some nivanfield fanart I was working on. The clothing still needs some work, but I'm happy with the models. Piers' profile is a little softer than I've seen others make him. He's spot on from the front. I'll post a portrait soon.

Chris: I thought you were dead!

Wesker: I get that a lot.

Lost in Nightmares - Wesker vs Chris Ever wonder what Resident Evil 5 would look like in HD and the RE Engine? Probably something like this. Custom Wesker and Chris models, improved environment, textures/shaders.
