"Maybe those hillbilly raider people from the start of the movie would be interested in purchasing some bioweapons? Our satellites say they're the only living people within... like, the entire state. Surely they must have loads of disposable income to spend now that the local Wal-mart is closed due to the apocalypse!"
@@cartooncritique6625 honestly... I feel like here it's more justified than the sequel trilogy. at least Alice has a better reason for why her powers are the way they are. like she was supposedly a highly trained agent beforehand and then it's established that you can get powers from the bio-weapons in the games as well... but Rey already can Mary Sue the crap out of Alice. there are a few situations when Alice can't do everything alone but I feel if Rey was in Alice's shoes she would just solo the entire 7 and a half billion zombies and be done with it... and at the end she'd steal someone's surname for no reason
Umbrella's evil plan: 1. Fill the world with zombies and Alice clones 2. Make the world a dessert 3. Uh.... wait... how we're gonna profit from this again?
I don't know let's make multiple self sufficient underground suburbs of various cities in the world and fill them with clones? To have as insurance policy for humanity to survive? Fuck no we just dump in some zombies for zombie trials the footage will look great for all our dead investors!
I liked the part where they established Alice can perform precision, sub-inch psionic destruction, with no line of sight, from orbital range. I'm glad that was a consistent ability they remembered she has.
to be fair, it had severe strain on her brain so maybe brian damage using swuch was to severe... Also, original Alice may have died before next movie cleansing up the facilities of Umbrella and we get her inferior clone as the protagonist.
Aims at nametag with a scope but actually has a red dot and closes the wrong eye while hitting the headshot. I don't know if you can make more mistakes in that scene, its glorious.
Don't forget that the red dot is set like 7 inches above the bolt instead of down at the base like a normal crossbow, so if she is aiming at the name tag it would hit him in the stomach. Also the sight is shows her looking through is a cross-hair but the one it shows in the next cut is a red dot sight. Stevie was also standing by the sign then it cuts and he's teleported 20ft over and standing in front of the truck.
@@Nidhoggrr so the optic being a little raised and behind the bolt like that is normal, my understanding of what's going on here is the sight its self sits high for its size and it's also on top of a rail adapter for it making it even higher.
If forests and oceans and lakes dried up or died, then technically this movie shouldn't exist, unless the T Virus makes zombies tree like, to produce oxygen like trees and plants.
As a Las Vegas native, I can confirm that not only do we not have that much sand to cover the whole city in five years, we don't have that kind of sand to begin with. They literally had a desert to reference and still fucked it up.
Yeah I live in Nye county. This isn't a sand desert. It's a dry ass dirt one. Not a single dune to walk over. My sand people jokes go widely unappreciated.
@@crimsonking440 I lived in Henderson and Boulder City, just south of Vegas I think, and all I remember is a lot of brown and flat land. Boy was coming back to California trippy to my ten year old mind!
I cannot FATHOM how 200+ super soldiers with fairly strong telepathic/psionic abilities can ever lose in the next movie, but they kinda fucking do all just die
Because there can be only one...and because the writers wrote themselves into a corner and had to pull something out of their a$$ so the series could continue.
They're not all like Alice. As Birkin (bad guy from this film) said, they're inferior clones. So some might have her abilities, but most don't. And even they would have trouble as it gives them headaches. Kinda like drinking.
It’s like in Game Of Thrones how one guy in the Iron Fleet kills one of the dragons with an aimbot but one dragon massacres the entire Iron Fleet in minutes like they were just ducklings. Got to love when writers have less idea of power scaling than the average person would
@@SwiftNimblefoot a) I never recall that being established b) How does anyone think that it’s a great idea to shoot a dragon one hundred feet in the air through fog? c) there’s so, so, so much wrong with that dragon’s death, as well as the episode, as well as the _entire season_ besides the completely nonsensical power scaling
Loving Lil Poteto's editing. I died at the "Know your place, trash!" and appreciate the editor's notes, like reminding us that cloning was never established.
My head cannon has always been that the rest of the world isn’t actually like this, Alice just fled to the desert-y areas of the United States and assumed she was actually entering some kind of T-virus made wasteland because she’d never seen anything like this before and just assumed that was the case because she’s Alice and is never allowed to be wrong about anything ever. Paul has to sleep on the couch if she is.
Funny thing is the entire world supposedly turns into a wasteland, when it should probably start improving due to less pollution, because zombies ate everyone operating the big smelly factories, but they go 'naah, virus go brrrr and kill all life'.
I think she (Alice) meant that portions of areas on earth were turned into desert, where others weren't. Like, most of south and west US would be desert, but other areas won't. England, for example, won't because of the rain, as with Japan. Hence Tokyo at the end. Maybe they have to be close to those areas to be desert, who knows?
When Alice kills the rapist and the woman calls out "EDDIE" it reminded me of The Last of Us 2 and how everyone thought it was mind blowing to hear them calling out names in the middle of combat.
Y'know. Pimp is the only black zombie i saw in this movie. Dont remember seeing many in the previous ones either. I personally want to see greater undead representation
@@RaifSeverence i played RE5 like you said. I couldn't believe the game had me. A white man. Slaughtering black people. I can't believe japan would do this
no, you just weren't paying attention. the pimp started going pale faster than michael jackson so it's just that all people of all other races just look like white people after they turn into zombies. how dare you accuse this great director of not paying attention to these details!
Considering how much Rags clearly liked LJ, he would’ve probably preferred the first draft of Extinction: LJ doesn’t get infected, goes with Alice down into the facility, and he is the one that activates the laser grid to kill Isaacs Tyrant. Of course that script shows a death for Angie Ashford and kills off Jill near the end of the film, but at least LJ would’ve lived. It was a strange alternate reality for Extinction. Betty survives, Claire and Wesker aren’t involved. I’m not sure which version is worse.
At least that would have continuity. Like Jill just fucks off, and they toss out the old characters in favour of new ones. It's like in Toy Story when Andry gets Buzz and just discards Woody because he's old and boring.
@@Daniel_C_Griffin sadly they weren’t able to use the first draft or a seemingly similar one cause Sienna Guillory (Jill) abandoned the franchise for the failure Eragon. She’s lucky she got to come back at all. I don’t know why Sophie Vavassuer (Angie) never returned at all. People just dropped in and out constantly.
The zombies are so inconsistent in these movies. They're slow when the characters need to escape. They're fast when we need an action scene. They are able to climb up the Eiffel Tower but can't climb over a little fence.
Yeah, that's pretty egregious, and it isn't like it's hard to fix. Just put some sci-fi laser fences around the perimeter instead of chain-link that completely disintegrate the zombies. All the scenes featuring the base were CGI anyway because of the horde, and with it, the whole exploding truck thing makes more sense, and driving it into one of the pylons to disrupt the beams should've been pimp guy's heroic sacrifice moment.
They also seem as feral as it gets but can sneak up on people like trained assassins. Then again, Resident Evil is far from the only franchise to do zombies like this
Well from what I recall this movie actually had an explanation for that scene in that they were super zombies that they made to be smarter in hopes that they would become less murdery. Granted it still has a ton of issues and a ton more raised by them doing this, but in that one case it does explain why some types can climb up a tower while others can't even climb a fence.
9:30 Exhibit A for why Alice is the worst) The T-Virus NEVER got this out of control in the games because Chris, Jill, Leon, Claire, Barry, and the others were all able to keep it contained; where as Alice with all her ridiculous super powers was unable to stop the world from turning into a bad Mad Max knockoff. 47:40 Goddamnit! How dare they blasphemy the awesomeness that was William Birkin! >:(
Well, to be fair, the geniuses who built the Hive didn't program the Red Queen to simply send a message saying "Virus leaked - everyone inside infected so sealed the Hive - don't open the door because you'll let it out.". Also, the same geniuses opened the door and let it out.
So, in this movie WESKERRRRRR is clearly the one in charge of Umbrella’s operations - as well as a boring, by the book bureaucrat who does nothing but sit behind a desk - whereas Jorah’s character is just a lowly scientist with no real power or authority within Umbrella whatsoever? Hmmm, interesting. Again, idk why I keep pointing out these completely random details of the story as if you should be remembering them for some reason. Not like anything will happen in the later movies that might challenge the assertions of said details or anything. 🙃
@@imp360 It's explained that Birkin is a clone. The real Birkin is co partner alongside Alice's template, Alicia, who's the daughter of the previous head of Umbrella. The clones of Birkin are only there because they hold an official work ethic that Birkin believes is needed.
@@rhyscallinan3727 yes I know. that's explain in final chapter not retribution. in retribution it is still treated as if wesker is in charge of umbrella. also that character is called isaac not birkin. birkin is not in the films. it is still a stupid retcon
@@imp360 Only reason Wesker is in charge is that he's a second in command. While Isaac trusts himself to so a job, he doesn't trust putting him in charge of everything, since he can't trust himself enough not to terminate the original out of greed. Also yes he's not Birkin, but he is based off of him.
What's even better about the L85A1 rifle being used by 'cowboy hat goes splat' sniper man, is that, as Rag's pointed out, aside from it being a weird weapon to show up in post apocalypse America, it was also notorious for being extremely unreliable in desert warfare. So the planet turns to sand, and this guy decides he's gonna go out of his way to find the rarest, and worst weapon to use in these conditions, and then to use it in the worst way by going full auto (which was also a common problem with the L85A1 due to regular jamming on full).
@@Tom_9602 The furniture is completely different, whereas the A1 was this big green blocky monstrosity, the A2 added rails for multiple attachments, including a vertical foregrip with a pop out bipod which was pretty much standard issue The bolt charger changed from a rounded cylinder for the A1 (as depicted on this model) to an almost coma shape to aid in ejecting casings (one of the main reasons the A1 would jam on full auto is the casings wouldn't eject far enough and get jammed) Plus, with the A2 in active service during the time of shooting, I would imagine it would have been extremely difficult to get their hands on one, and much easier to get the A1.
3:33 zombie actor "raahh must grab dude" `~internal monologue~ oh shit I nearly got him! ~nonchalantly lowers arm "nothing to see here move along, move along" it's So comical and I've never noticed it before.
Ok I never questioned this originally cause I just kinda gave up on understanding the RE movies... but why did that one guy get infected when pimp boy bit him in this movie if he had already taken an antidote after being bitten by a different zombie from the last movie? Did it just wear off or what?
21:35 I hoped someone would point out the "homage" to (read: ripping off) Day of the Dead... Looks like Jay ain't the only one who hasn't seen shockingly many movies.
Ah, yes, Extinction... The first film in this franchise to have clones, Mad Max ripoffs, and "Wesker". But also the last film in which "Alice" uses her psychic powers. Yet she still does impossible shit after this film. Also introduces a character named "K-Mart"...not joking.
Also known as the one in which they drop ANY pretension of even being vaguely related to the Resident Evil franchise, except having Umbrella as a named company and the Redfields popping up later… for absolutely no reason and to no effect.
they actually have a bit of exposition in the next movie, about Alice losing her powers after her bossfight with Wesker... but then she gets them back... aaand she does nothing with the psionic thingy... aaand then she loses them again, i think... its a mess really.
I have said it a couple of times already, but I will say it again because it is worth saying every time. The editing on these videos is just glorious. Thank you lil potato 👍
I always assumed that getting pecked by the crows infected people, just like getting bit by a zombie. So maybe Betty knew that, or just assumed she was infected, and just chose to die there rather than endanger everyone else? I guess she just didn't want the pimp or anyone else trying to come back for her and dying in the process? So she shut the door between them and maybe hoped to lure in and at least temporarily trap as many birds inside the bus as possible?
Man, that Hugh Laurie doppelganger! Also I do like how the zombies are forming a nice little queue line to join the hordes around to the gate, definitely from Britain haha
I like how the RE movie universe operates on Lion King logic where the world is like deserted wasteland, only to be in a much better state in the sequel.
the lion king logic at least works to some degree~ the hienas fuck up the natural cicle , fucking up the world. at the end of the 1 movie the cicle was restaured, so it make sense that the world stoped being a wasteland... aslo the lion king world as magic on it so~
The bowling-strike sound was perfect, 😂, since this movie struck-out. The Birdemic scenes -to me - were easily as 🥴 as the running-down-the-skyscraper of the previous film. And for heaven's sake, deserts are *boring* (I don't care that they're cheap locations). But I'm glad I sat through this clunker years ago because it makes the platinum-commentary of the Mooler Boys much funnier than if I had not. Well done laddybucks, well done. 👍
I wonder if they will notice that each movie has a scene where Alice aimlessly wanders around a set to stare at things that barely have anything to do with the plot. It even carries over to the Monster Hunter movie!
There is these lines of dialogue I liked hearing from the guy who played Wesker here “.......That decision isn’t yours to make......you’ll take no action until this matter has been resolved. And doctor.....that’s an order.”
Honestly though, subtitles would be a DREAM. It would allow people to follow both the crew talking and the movies, since they've talked over important scenes before.
This Wesker seems to be modeled closer to the RE1 PS1 version. The one with the terrible voice over that died to the Tyrant and was said by Chris to be "Sleeping with the ultimate life form". Wesker doesn't become Schemus Maximus Matrixman until RE5, and that wasn't out then, but Minimatrixman Wesker is already part of Code Veronica, which had already been released at the time the movie was in production, for several years.
@@TheSixthDoctor I remember losing it so much when he showed up in Veronica. I thought he was some kind of terminator what with the glowing eye. it was so awesome how Chris just tried to fight him anyway. and he was cool OG Chris not weird RE5 Roid Chris. He was my favourite
sorry I'm late to the party, but I went out to go see Halloween Kills in theaters this morning and didn't get back until near 6:00 PM PST. I'm finally preparing to watch this video now........at 8:31 PM, when I'm more relaxed, super tiered, & worn out.
Strange how a virus that reanimates living things kills the planet, or maybe that's why it all comes back in future films it's all zombie plants and animals
The funny thing about the constant comments they made about the sound balancing is that I find a LOT of movies suffer from that exact same issue. The characters will speak in whispers, and then the music will blast your eardrums out, and you end up spending the whole movie adjusting the volume.
37:50 M says "They got from Salt Lake City to New Vegas really quick." It's not so much funny as it is relieving to hear someone else make that same slip of the tongue lol.
How did Alice not sense that the pimp was infected? I thought she had that power when she could sense the virus in Jill's partner, Carlos and Angela in the previous film?
It's hilarious to me how these films aren't simply dumb, they're not even consistent with their stupid. You genuinely can't expect things to go wrong for the same reason between entries, or even between scenes, it's always something new.
Here is the problem. You expect ANYTHING to make sense in these films, your brain gonna hurt. Best never think about them again. Just point and laugh. Or don't watch.
21:38 the film is literally doing Bub from George A Romero's Day Of The Dead, which btw is a far better movie and my personal favorite of the Romero Zombie Trilogy.
MauLer saying "we've missed a lot of context between 2 and 3" won't be the first time something like this happens. Paul just can't keep with continuity and either forgets or just ignores how the previous film ends or what happened in them and it becomes frustrating, this film series has the worst continuity that it will be just irritating and confusing
