The three "Resident Evil" tell a complete story, and the end of each one is cleverly connected to the next movie, and at the beginning of the next one continues the ending of the previous one. The three films have the same screenwriter and three different directors. This also forms the different styles of the three films, and the main colors of the pictures are also different. The story in the first repressive underground laboratory is full of suspense and horror, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a horror film; the second virus spread to the city on the ground, the tense process of escape and a lot of explosions and fights make this The movie became an animated work; the third desolate desert, a desperate world full of zombies, a disaster movie.
From the box office point of view, the "Resident Evil" series is a success. The average investment of US$50 million is exchanged for a box office record of more than US$110 million on a global scale. Moreover, every box office must The box office is higher than the previous one, both in North America and worldwide. The third film in the series has a global box office of 140 million U.S. dollars, surpassing the second in the series "Resident Evil 2: Apocalypse". It can be seen that the "Resident Evil" series is the most successful example of game adaptation movies in history. If anyone wants to talk about the movie version of "Tomb Raider", please take a look at its average investment of over 100 million.
Going back to the latest third "Resident Evil" movie, I personally feel that the third movie is the best in the entire series, because the movie not only has larger scenes than the first two, but also has more gorgeous special effects and is more dangerous. The environment, moreover, is more humane than the previous two movies. At least, several sad and tearful shots of Alice can show that this super female soldier is not just the expressionless killing machine in the second part, but a flesh and blood person, a woman with love and hatred. This also brings some touching factors to this disaster film, which is dominated by action special effects. In addition, Betty, the nurse who died to save the children, Carlos who died as a scavenger for the few remaining people to flee, and so on, all add to the film.
There are a few fragments that impressed me a lot. The first one was the section where Alice was cloned to escape from the laboratory at the beginning. In the corridor, she heard the noise on the street, as if the outside world was still a world full of life. After she was shot, we followed the camera to see an Alice Groove, which was very shocking. Later, we saw a world that was almost destroyed. Perhaps for the clone, death is the best destination, because the outside world has made people desperate; the other is when Alice walks alone in the desert and the convoy escapes in the world of yellow sand before the crowd of crows attack the convoy. They are full of the desolation and despair of the end of the world. The setting sun, the desert, a person, the sense of self-blame and the loneliness of being alone for fear of bringing misfortune to others is revealed in the sand and gravel walking in the wind. Doomsday, it should be such a scene.
The difference between the plot of the movie and the game is one point that many game fans are dissatisfied with. Especially in this one, the story of the game is still going on on a small scale, and the newer fourth and fifth generations seem to have broken away from the clue of the T virus. As a movie adapted from the game, "Resident Evil" follows the background of the game, some of the main characters, and finds another way in the plot, telling a story different from the game. Although it is different from the game, I personally think that this is exactly where the success of this series of movies lies, especially the third one now. From the plot point of view, the movie no longer draws on the game, but is completely original, although it has borrowed from several movies. The scene, but it has basically broken away from the limitation of the game plot. Therefore, "Resident Evil" is not just a game adaptation film, but a successful science fiction film series, and will continue to be a representative of similar films in the future. Mentioned.
It’s true that commercial films are made to make money, but we can still interpret some of the criticism and refraction of the world in the biochemistry series. The world in the film and the umbrella company that is huge and even capable of suppressing public opinion after the destruction of a city alludes to the combination of the US military and Microsoft in real life. Moreover, the T virus that destroys the world is very likely to be born in the hands of a scientific madman. You know, the current level of development of biochemical technology is unimaginable for us as outsiders. The desertified environment in the film is a true portrayal of this world. As for the extinction of the title, it is not only the extinction of human beings, but also the extinction of all living things. Maybe you don't know that there are a large number of species in the world that we know and we have not yet able to find are being extinct due to human actions. Human technology has indeed made mankind, but it is also enough to destroy mankind.
The film has a suspenseful ending. Perhaps it will succeed the next Resident Evil movie, or it may be the real end. Of course, you can say that businesses will always break their promises. However, perhaps the third part is already the end of the entire series. Imagine when most of the world has been destroyed, even if we have Alice, there are many Alice, then what use is it? The few remaining survivors fled around in a world full of zombies, and such a world could no longer be saved. Perhaps, the moment when Alice opened her eyes, which was not shown on the screen, at least meant hope.
"Machine Public Enemy" tells us a future where machines and humans are contradictory; "Future Water World" presents a world that has been under the influence of the greenhouse effect a hundred years later, and "Resident Evil" shows us that it is covered by yellow sand The dilapidated and miserable human civilization. Who can be sure that such a future will not really come? Moreover, can we be lucky enough to have the fearless and righteous hero in the movie?
After the "extinction", I hope to see more "Resident Evil" movies, but never want to see the world of Resident Evil.
