Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City 4K 2021

If you played parts 1-2 of the game or their remakes, then you will find more references and moments close to the game in the film than in all the films with Mila Jovic. There they tried to copy a couple of characters, they invented a couple, and then it generally looked like an author's movie about Mila, but not based on the game. For me, all the films that Paul W. S. Anderson made on Resident Evil are a completely separate look at the game, he came up with something of his own, which was watchable during the first 2 films, where something else was like at least out of the corner of his eye on games, but then he broke through the bottom and starting from the 3rd part it was incomprehensible fantasy and rare references, but had nothing to do with games. Half of the main characters became just dummy bots, heroes of the 2nd-3rd and 4th plan, which finally killed the franchise in the end, because the main character is a fictional Alice, and the locations were constantly changing and only mixed the logic of the films more, turning them more into some kind of then a series without a plot, where each part is a separate plot, like in 'Friends', but obviously not like in the film adaptation of one of the most popular games.

In the same film, almost everything corresponds to the atmosphere and plot of the game, and with minimal discrepancies, while even the fact that the appearance of the actors does not cosplay the characters is a huge plus, it makes it easier to perceive that this is a film, and not just frame-by-frame reshooting of scripted scenes between levels .

I really liked the picture, special thanks for the costumes close to the game, locations and of course the incredible atmosphere, because in the original game, in the remakes - the main feature of the game has always been a creepy dark atmosphere, screamers from around the corner, etc.

Unlike what Anderson shows us, here even unenlightened people will understand the plot - since the characters partially voice it and make it clear what kind of city it is, what is happening here and what their motivation is, and not just "I am a villain", "A I am a hero, I will save everyone." In general, the film is not perfect, but definitely better than what was before and certainly deserves a sequel, which I would definitely like to see in the context of the game scenarios, and not incomprehensibly what "based on the game with my wife in the lead role".
