Review:

Even dumber and somewhat less fun, RE:A goes bigger, but just doesn’t have the spirit that the first one had. It really lost me toward the end, when the Umbrella corp proposed a death match between our heroine and this super-zombie they’ve created. I can enjoy dumb, but only to a certain point. RE:A goes beyond that point. Just too dumb. Still, I’ll give this a bonus point for employing two SMOKIN HOT women in the lead roles. That definitely kept this from being an unbearable flick.

Summary:

The cast audio commentary for Resident Evil: Apocalypse featuring Milla Jovovich, Sienna Guillory and Oded Fehr

Day 275: October 2, 2007

Review:

Appropriately dumb commentary for a dumb movie. The commentary, however, has one of my big commentary Pet Peeves…the commentators are not all in the same room. Milla and Oded are in one room, but Sienna was recorded at a different time. Whenever the commentaries are stitched together like that, it sounds disjointed and rather…bad. As for the commenting itself, Milla and Oded have little of value to add to the proceedings, but I’m officially in love with Sienna. Gotta love a British accent.
