Resident Evil: Afterlife First Impressions

Now like...everyone else...I'm hardly a fan of the RE movies. Infact being such a devoted RE-game fan makes me despise them all the more than your average Game2Movie disastor. I saw the original and thought it was rather...meh...but compared to the second movie it could be seen as a faithful adaptation. It isn't but the second movie is just that bad.

 
The third movie I haven't even given a chance in all honesty. Two movies was already too much for my RE fanboyism to endure. 
 
Now to some surprise, for me at least, there's a 4th movie??? With the trailer now depicting a huge homage to RE5, as stated before in Kombat's thread. 
 
  

  And there we now have the full trailer all awaiting the tears, anger and maybe vomit at that. 
 

Now with even more 3D-exploitation, Afterlife may even set a new ''mainstream'' low for the RE movie series. But truthfully those few seconds of the Las Plagas ''flower-mouth'' looks like it may offer some dumb popcorn fun much like the original movie.  
Wesker starring in this installment too can at least have some potential for some well directed ''ninja-fight-ACTION'' scenes too, and if they happen to be anything like the ones from the actual RE5 game then they'll be entertaining to watch.

 
The story...might aswell not exist, frankly I'd probably prefer this to be released as a string of Wesker scenes with Las Plagas ghoulies in between. Oh and the complete removal of this Ninja Alice at that. 
 
Besides all of this obviously imminent shite, I can't help but still feel..curious?...Curious enough at least that I may just actually watch in the cinemas. Least what with the direction RE5 took the games, Afterlife actually looks like it'll stay close to its source material. 
 
...It's a sad day for Resident Evil for me to admit that...

That looks beyond stupid to me. Sort of like a joke on the level of Snakes on a Plane. Let me just say that I freaking loved Snakes on a Plane though, and the first 2 Resident Evil movies were pretty good for what they were. Someone is going to have to recap the 3rd one for me though.

They already made the movie? Well I hate to admit but I am kinda interested...
 
Also, I guess that means more TANG soon

I read "James Cameron" and "3D", so the movie will probably gross 2 billion dollars.
 
Seriously: Someday next year, when I'm bored and probably drunk I'll give it a shot and most likely erase the memory from my mind afterward.

so they are done with the mad max rip off, and now are ripping off the matrix?
 
And the big lumbering dude with the hammer, or axe or whatever, looked less life like than the videogame versions... how is that even possible? uncanny

As a fellow Resident Evil fan allow me to tell you: Don't be a sucker. You know the movie is going to be bad with a thinly veiled contempt for the source material, and even if you disagree with where RE5 is taking the series (I kind of do, but I really just have to wait and see), you cannot honestly say that any of this looks better.

The only good thing about that trailer is that sweet goddamn remix of A Perfect Circle's "The Outsider"!!!
 
I need to go find that fucking remix now!  Anyone know what the full name of the remix is?  Ah, fuck it, I'll hit the internet and find out! 
 
*EDIT*  Apparently, it's "The Outsider (Apocalypse Mix)" from aMOTION.  Why the hell did I not know about this aMOTION CD/DVD?!  GODDAMMIT, WHERE HAVE I BEEN?!

But...Alice...Isn't supposed to have black hair...  :(
