Resident Evil treats "worldbuilding" the way a toddler treats a fruit bowl — enthusiastically, briefly, then forgotten.

The script for Resident Evil feels like it was entirely written by an algorithm fed nothing but energy-drink commercials.

Even the popcorn looked bored during Resident Evil.

Counted the jumpscares in Resident Evil. Lost count. Lost interest. Refunded the popcorn emotionally.

The cinematography in Resident Evil is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Honestly, Resident Evil would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Resident Evil?
Rewatched Resident Evil last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Resident Evil?
Everyone praising the Resident Evil performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Resident Evil actually is?
Director clearly thought Resident Evil was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
