A bad movie

We tend to forget it but the first Resident Evil was actually not bad at all. Ten years later, surprisingly, they still making some installments and, even more surprising, those sequels are more and more successful at the box-office. On the other hand, with those expensive 3D tickets, they have found a nice trick to increase their revenue, that's for sure. Anyway, I'm officially fed up with this franchise... Yesterday, Nick, my step-son, came home, announcing that he just bought a movie that I really wanted to see but even though I indeed wanted to watch this flick at some point, I could have easily waited a couple of years... Anyway, this flick was pretty awful. They start with showing the same action scene TWICE, first, in backward slow-motion and then in forward regular speed. Obviously, they thought it would look really cool but it was just the opposite, it felt really redundant. What followed was an abysmal story, with some tedious characters, even the action scenes were not really impressive. Even though I didn't like the other sequels, I always reminded open-minded and could find one or two redeeming features. Not this time though. The only fun thing was to see again Michelle Rodriguez after all those years but she was completely wasted in a terrible under-written double part. One more thing, the whole cloning thing was also completely stupid. Basically, it is a trick device which they can use to bring back any deceased character whenever they feel like it. To conclude, it was just pretty bad, they should stop dry milking this franchise and you probably shouldn't watch this flick. And guess what? They are already working on a 6th installment...
