So, it's a low-key, period costume piece, then?
The internets, they keep on giving.
Over on the “Resident Evil” movie Facebook page, there’s a link to this delightful teaser poster for this year’s “Retribution” sequel. Everything’s gone all Mayan, you might say.
If you’re keeping score, it’s the fifth movie in the Paul Anderson/Milla Jovovich series of game-to-film adaptations and as the last movie – “Afterlife” – was the highest grossing entry in the franchise, it’s hard to see how the September 14th release of this latest film will be anything other than a hit – the fans of the games bitch about the diversions from the game storyline and still buy tickets, the critic’s reviews are (let’s be candid) quite beside the point and at the end of the week, I can think of no more enjoyable experience than heading to the cinema to see Milla Jovovich kicking zombies in the head.
This is the part where Milla negotiates nicely with the zombie horde, yes?
Well, it would be even better if it wasn’t in 3D, but I’m going to lose that battle, so why fight it in the first place? Stupid glasses it is.
Everybody look at me/'Cause I'm sailing on a boat...
And September 14th, by the way, seems to be the release date for the UK and US – our friends in Australia and New Zealand have to wait until October for the film, which seems desperately unfair or a rare mercy, depending on how you see things.
Isn’t the digital age supposed to bring an end to this idea of stupidly staggered release dates? Can’t we all share the guilty pleasure awesome at the same time?
