TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 04/10/2026As much as people dislike that someone was selling it, I’m sure everyone would love to get $9,600 out of something that was free. 111

TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I think the main problem with the ending, is that it’s not a Resident Evil ending. In the games, the protagonist survives to live another day, or they die a hero. But no rocket launcher ending for Bryan. And the journey was for nothing. 020
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Ya, it kinda grew on me. At first, I was turned off, because it reminded me of the clown farting tune from Director's Cut. But after seeing the movie, it does fit Brian's silly vibe of constantly screwing up, and running from one unfortunate event into another. 020
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 18/09/2026So as a fan of RE, it's a 1/10 for me. As a Zack fan, it's 6/10. I'd rather this had been an original movie inspired by RE, then an actual RE adaption. But as an original Zack Cregger film, I'd still be disappointed. He could've did better. I really wish he tried harder. 000
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 18/09/2026There's just so little that actually uses the IP. It's not canon to the games, since it can't fit in the timeline. Doesn't have characters. Vaguely similar creatures, but mostly different. But has Umbrella and Raccoon City mentioned, and has Aid Spray in the background. It's product placement. 100
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 18/09/2026And that's why I said it's more inspired than an actual RE movie. It's designed to be a random outbreak movie if needed if some executive wasn't happy, and pulled the plug on the RE title drop. An adaption shouldn't be like that. 100
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Raccoon City is the same thing. It's a name that gets dropped. Could be cut out, and replaced with another name. A random typewriter and herbs? Could be anything in any movie. It's like they planned to remove all references if needed. 100
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Not just that, but every RE specific reference seems to be designed to be something that could be cut out. For example, Umbrella is in the movie. But as a name a scientist says. There's no Umbrella logo anywhere in the actual lab (unless I missed one). As if designed to cut that line out if needed. 100
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 18/09/2026That said, Zack has been saying T Virus in interviews, so I think he doesn't know the parasites in RE4 have nothing to do with the T Virus. It's been very clear he made the movie based on vague memories, where a google search would help. But instead, he didn't care to type, click, and search. 100
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 18/09/2026The correct way I'd pitch this to a fan is that it's a "what if" movie. Alternate Universe. What if the Raccoon City incident took place in Winter 2026 instead of Fall 1998. And what if the outbreak was Las Plagas instead of the T Virus (Zack says T Virus though. More on that below). 100
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 18/09/2026You might've noticed I haven't even talked about the movie as a RE fan, beyond saying what little is inspired by the games gets repetitive. That's because this honestly isn't a RE movie. It's inspired by RE, definitely. But it cares more about pleasing itself than the IP it's using. 100
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 18/09/2026But once Brian reaches Raccoon City, it's pretty boring. The only survivors he meets are jerks that don't live long. And Brian himself is kinda a jerk himself, and doesn't change much. He slightly redeems himself later, but then that ending... 100
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 18/09/2026On the positives, the first 30 minutes I think is great. It's a great setup. That's probably why they previewed it. Very suspenseful. Very funny. And great cinematography. And that lady turn rat king creature is a really good monster design. 100
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I suspect that Constantine Films, once getting Zack on board, were afraid to criticized him too much, in fear they might scare him off. It's the only way I can imagine an ending like that getting filmed, and never getting reshot. It's that bad. 100
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 18/09/2026And then there's the ending. I heard it was bad from those who read the leaked script. I stayed spoiler free, and didn't look into why. But after seeing the end result, how did this get past testing? Were they just scared to tell Zack to change it? Like it's a really bad ending. 100
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Then there's jokes like the pad locks. It was funny the first few times Brian sees a pad lock, and tries to shoot it. But it got old very fast. And same with the other jokes in the last half. 100
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Does it work in a game? Yes. But as a movie? It's repetitive since I'm not playing it. There's no real plot progression going on beyond getting closer to an end goal. Thus it comes off as filler. And I'm less creeped out the more it happens. 100
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 18/09/2026For example, the level progression. Taken from the games. Does it work in a movie? For me, it doesn't, because it's just the same thing happening, but this time it's a tunnel, or a sewer. Character walks into a dark room, sees something creepy, runs or shoots it, then off to the next scene. 100
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 18/09/2026As a fan of Zack Cregger, I found the humour less funny, and more annoying. It started great, but then just got repetitive. It's my ultimate criticism. It keeps repeating the same scares, monsters, and humour gags over and over, and offering very little that's different from what happened before. 100
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Just got back from seeing Zack Cregger's #ResidentEvil movie. I expected to love it as a fan of his films, while also being disappointed as a fan of the games. But instead... I don't even love it as a Zack Cregger fan. This is probably his worst movie. I'm legit surprised the Tomato Meter is high. 100
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 16/09/2026That's why I have mix emotions. The Zack fan in me that loved Barbarian and Weapons is excited, while the RE fan in me is expecting disappointment. 150
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 16/09/2026That's kinda the thing about this Resident Evil movie. It's more being sold because of Zack than the IP he's using. I think if another director that was unknown did his approach, I probably wouldn't go see it. 170
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 13/09/2026It’s still Craig’s fault for not catching it, and saying “Wait… why is Leon’s name there. Dude just started his first day as a cop even in my universe. We should change that.” Because if you remember, he originally claimed Leon could be on the other side of town. I doubt he confused Leon for Kendo. 000
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 13/09/2026To be fair, I think this might’ve went past him, and something a set decorator put in. The example I can give is the new paper for Resident Evil Apocalypse, that said Leon was Jill’s partner, and died. That wasn’t something Alexander Witt or Anderson requested but more something a prop person out in 100
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Keep in mind, my current feelings are that ”The horror fan in me is gonna love this movie, while RE fan is disappointed”. I can’t exactly be excited about a non canon storyline, that doesn’t have game characters, and doesn‘t follow the lore, but has product placement. 000
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Like we got this already with Paul. We got this already with the Netflix series. And if you want original canon stories, we got the Capcom CG movies. 20 years of original canon and non canon stories. This isn’t exactly new either. The only difference is “Done better”, and that‘s subjective. 100
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Like a lot of fans are tired of “It’s canon. It’s an original story within the same Universe” lie that we’ve been getting for over 20 years, instead of a proper adaption. And every time we complain about it, someone says “Don’t you want something new? Stop complaining. Why does canon matter?“. 100
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I think the frustration is understandable. It’s more annoying when the defence is “See, it says Umbrella on the paper work. So it is Resident Evil!” and I’m like “If that’s all it takes, why didn’t you like the first movie?” 100
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Apparently Jill almost died in the 3rd film (it’s in the online script). She had Carlos’ death scene. The only reason it didn’t happen was Jill’s actress wasn’t available, and killing Claire would mean nothing, since she’s a new character. So Carlos got it. 010
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 25/08/2026I think they should’ve made Glenn Spencer. Make that the big reveal. And the whole Dr Isaac’s thing is just him giving names to clones, no different than Alicia’s clone is called Alice. 010
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 07/08/2026That’a copium. “Oh, that thing doesn’t suck! It’s an amazing!….. In my head!” 010
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Yep. Sony is literally telling everyone to just get a PC. There's no benefits to owning a console. It's just a more DRM locked PC, with a store that can close forever, and digital games that can't be played anymore. 010
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 29/06/2026How many months have we seen that thing, and only now is Value requesting it ceased? 000
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 10/06/2026I wonder why that one theatre has white powder on the floor. 100
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 07/06/2026The article is kinda a lie though. Kojima didn’t say anything like that. 100
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 07/06/2026I wonder if Bloober Team might be stretching themselves thin. You got the Cronos DLC, SH1 remake, Layers of Fear 3, Star Trek, and also Saw (I know they’re more publisher on that one, but still). That’s just a lot on their plate. I hope they don’t Tell Tale themselves. 000
TMA LIVE @tma-live.bsky.social · 06/06/2026I wonder why they got rid of “Code” in Code Veronica? Maybe they want to highlight the V more, to imply this is the fifth remake? #residentevil 010
