The Resident Evil series has followed the Star Trek dictum - only the odd numbered movies are worth a shit. The first was decent, the second one wasn't worth the 15 minutes I gave it, the third one was decent and the last just blew all sorts of idiotic 3D monkey balls but at least I made it to the end of that one. This one actually looks decent, though totally retarded. However, it looks better than the 4th. I won't see it in theaters mind you, because FUCK 3D HERE'S A KNIFE BEING THROWN AT YOUR FACE JUMP MONKEYS JUMP... but it looks like an over-the-top action thriller good enough for a Saturday afternoon DVD.
I like the homage-rich live-action cosplay and Alice's combat fetish gear.

They really should have stopped with the first one. I gave up after the 2nd, skipped the 3rd and didn't even know they made a 4th until now reading about this one.
