ChatGPT could have written a better plot, but nobody used they/them pronouns and i didnt see any fatties with septum piercings so it's a solid 9/10

yeah as people said the first hour is kinda boring and not much happens so fast forward if you are ready to drop out. the second half is a bit better, its like a mash up of horror video games like Resident Evil and Dark Souls. Not much of a story and its all the usual bullshit tropes and super predictable but decently entertaining if completely unbelievable.

I wonder who this movie was made for though, it wasn't scifi enough for me (no real big mysteries) and it doesn't really do most of the horror tropes that are popular with younger horror fans, especially women - Nun, Midsommar, Ring, Barbarian, etc. The movie it mostly feels like is Annihilation but a mediocre, no-depth-at-all version.

If you need some cheese to watch with the wife, this is worth it.

My wife wanted to watch a hallmark movie.

I told her this was a rom-com.

The look that I got during the first firefight was well worth it.

Good for a Resident Evil remake. Higher production value than the RE movies.

So if you are an RE fan, don't skip this tribute movie. Apple TV came through with the quality.

Score by Trent Reznor was very noticeable.

I didn't turn it off. The "reason" could have been better, but let's be fair, it could have been a lot worse too. I'm actually satisfied that it wasn't some super bullshit excuse for why this was all happening, just a medium bullshit one.

I used to not be a fan of Miles Teller, but then I watched Whiplash, and yeah, I'll give him a chance every time now. He was decent. Not much need for a huge acting range in this, but good enough.

And every time I look at her I realize how weird looking she is and her body is nothing special, but I also somehow really want to bone Anya Taylor Joy.

i saw a post on reddit on how the movie could have been vastly improved

If they had changed the ending so that Miles and Anya blow it up while Sigourney tries to stop them but it turns out it wasn't corporate bullshit, it was actually the gates of hell and they just opened it like a buncha assholes

that woulda been an awesome ending

anyways hugely popular movie

Just watched the trailer for this.

The part where Anya Taylor-joy puts up the sign with the chess move made me smile.

The premise seems like a mix of a romance and a video game. When I get around to using my free months with Apple I'll add this to the list.

The trailer sold me until the romance part. But will probably still give it a watch with the wife.

It's a mash up of a paint-by-numbers rom-com and resident evil.

My wife enjoyed it and said it was a fun movie. I've recommended it to a few friends as a good date night movie to switch up the standard fare they watch.

They weren't shy about ripping off RE.
