Review:
It took me awhile to get into the movie. I was a little lost on the concept, and then I get it: they have to escape the Umbrella facility. So, it's more like a video game, reminds me of the first movie. We have a contained area with an objective. I appreciated the concept, if not the execution. It was a little weak on the characters, but we did get to see some familiar (if not dead) faces. I think this one was an improvement on the last movie. Although I really would have liked to see what happened to the Redfields...
Best Bits:
- Becky: I met your sister. Rain: What? Becky: She's not very nice.
- Luther West: [In a Rolls Royce] Sweet ride. Alice: Well, this is Moscow. Heard gunfire. Thought you might need some help.
- Alice: There's a child here. Rain: Your problem, not ours. Alice: All heart. You haven't changed a bit. Rain: I don't know you lady.
- The Red Queen: Don't listen to the traitor Wesker. I am in control now. Project Alice, Ada Wong, stay where you are. Alice: [to Ada] Let's move. The Red Queen: Project Alice, you're all going to die down here. Alice: I've heard that before.
- Becky: [looks at a track of Alice clones] Mommy, who are they? Mommy, is that you? You're my mommy, aren't you? Alice: I am now.
