Viewing Notes

My 4K UHD froze and locked up my player near the end of the second to last chapter! Had to unplug my player and restart to get the disc out. Is it my player or the disc???? Thankfully the Blu is included so I finished the movie.

I had a feeling I’d come around on this one despite hating it in theater (terrible cinema experience!). Still has its problems (still did Donal Logue dirty) but I appreciate the devotion to replicating the original RE games from the costumes to the sets. Bummed we likely won’t get the promised sequel based on that teaser with Ada Wong, who I totally wanna see plus Wesker.

Interesting to see Paul WS Anderson as a Exec Producer. Curious if it was a token title gesture since his wife was opposed to this reboot.
