So I don’t know if y’all have watched the Resident Evil movies recently but can we talk about how each film in the franchise is just a wildly different genre?

Resident Evil - the first one

Bottle episode style 90’s action movie.
Looks like it cost $50. Bewildering editing choices and the slow motion gunfights of a director who really wants to have sex with a machine gun. Alice roundhouse kicks a dog that they just covered in meat.
Resident Evil - Apocolypse

Oh hey look a budget! This ones a pure zombie movie and takes advantage of the early 2000’s CGI. Only baffling editing choices are the low-frame-rate zombie slowmo and giving monsters whos entire deal is that they can’t see a bunch of POV shots.
Resident Evil - Fury Road

This one really just goes “Hi remember when this was a zombie franchise well we’re doing Mad Max now” and that’s it’s whole deal. Wild.
Resident Evil - Tokyo Drift/Revolutions

What if we did Kill Bill for the first act, water world in the second act and then the third act was JUST the matrix. Bonus points for being the first movie in the franchise where they don’t make Alice be naked for no reason.
