I never really paid attention...

To Resident Evil: Extinction

I got the DVD for free as part of a movie pack. Mostly, I've been throwing it in for background noise, and because even though I know it's pretty far from Resident Evil game canon, it's entertaining in it's own right.

Tonight's the first time I actually paid enough attention to the last minutes to see Alice one and two take on the baddie. And then to see the very end of the movie (I usually lose track right around when Carlos buys the farm).

But, yeah, the thought of an entire army of Alices?

Makes me giggle. Because it's so...absurd. Especially after establishing at the beginning of the movie that none of the clones can apparently even make it out of the Raccoon City mock-up without dying horribly.

The thought is 'damn, she's going to have to spend a LOT of time teaching them how not to die, first'.

Heh.

The reason they went so far off true from the game is that historically, video game movies that hold true to the game don't do well in the box office, so they had to try something different.

I think of it as an AU.

Oh, I know. They...just went a little too far, I think. I was okay with 'enhanced Alice', but when it got to 'blow everything to bit with my mind like River Tam' Alice, it kinda lost me as being part of the RE world.

I think of it as something similar to RE, but but not really part of it, even as an AU.
