Biohazard: Degeneration (New CGI Resi film)

[teddymeow]

Here's hoping it offers something more then simply a lustful offering for fans.

Nope, that will be enough for me!!

I can't wait for this. I personally thought that FFVII Advent Children was wonderful (and I've never finished the game (though I know the basics from watching my missus play it and was fairly familiar with most of the characters) so it's not like I got caught up in the "OMG Final Fantasy is teh sexy and roxxors my boxxors" or anything like that. I just thought it was stunning to look at and a lot of fun to watch.

This on the other hand has the potential to make my head explode. Of all the classic Resi games 2 is most definitely my favourite so putting Claire and Leon together again in a 90 minute movie is pretty close to Nirvana for me. Noticed a few cheesy lines of dialogue creeping in so looks like Capcom are trying to tick all the right boxes

With regards to Advent Children (slightly OT) anybody know when FFVII AC Complete is due out on Blu-ray. The trailer has been doing the rounds since something like September last year but I can't find anywhere with a concrete release date.

Dunno if it's just the mix on that trailer but the voice audio =

[Malavon]

Just me that thinks the script is a little dodgy? Looks nice though.

[sj33]

Script does sound a bit dodgy even for Resi, but overall I'm positive, it's still very 'Resi', which is more than I can say about that Hollywood rubbish. Seems to have a very RE3/Outbreak feel to it too, which is fine.

Is this canon to the main story?

[angelx]

It would be nice to think it was, unlike those 3 godawful live action films. I really tried to enjoy them but its too much to ask of a Resident Evil Fan, just crap! How does the director of Highlander go on to make Resident Evil: Extinction??....

[NekoFever]

There's a review of it here. Sounds like it's pretty awful.

[Tig]

Is it me, or are the human characters less convincing than those in that first FF film way back?


also the trailer loses points for narrowly avoiding "it remains a secret to everybody"

[Spatial]

That Wired article makes it sound like a total plane wreck (see what I did there).

First 11 minutes of the film.

Looks okay, nothing mind blowing.

I liked the first two 'Hollywood' films

There’s not a single emoticon on here to express how shocked I am by what you just said.

Edit:

[funkydan]

Ah get over it - they're just films and there's no reason to get so shocked about the whole thing! I like all different kinds of films and just enjoy them for what they are. Who cares if the story is a bit woolly or if some of the cast couldn't act their way out of a wet paper bag, it is still possible to be entertained. I'm certainly not saying they're the best films ever but I'm quite happy to enjoy them all the same. Don't take it all so seriously!

[Kit]

Sorry Dan, I didn’t mean to sound condescending but you saw the fight scene with Nemesis right?

Don’t get me wrong I love cheesy movies (Commando sits proudly in my collection) but stuff like the above is just plain bad.

[Spatial]

I've made it no secret that I really liked the first one but I just couldn't stomach Nemesis at all. I've yet to watch Extinction but it's on Sky this Saturday so may be tempted to sit through it.

As for Degeneration, having watched the red band clip on IGN and the 8 min preview I'm still not sure what to make of it. Some dodgy animation and terrible voice acting makes me wonder if I could stomach a whole 60 minutes of it.
