So after watching all the RE movies this week (yeah I have a obsession) I've noticed some interesting things. The first RE movie (other then being completely awesome and scary) is really just a very loose adaptation of the first RE game. Alice (Jill) and Matt (Chris) try to escape from a zombie infested lab (Mansion) and then they are double crossed by Spencer (Barry/Wesker) who later dies when he thinks he gets away with it all. Also, Capcom seemed to like this movie to or at least some of the scenes from the movie because they added a lot of them to the actually video game series. I could list all the things that are similar or you could play the Umbrella Chronicles because that's where they added all the movie stuff. 

Btw, in the movies Alice's name is actually Janus Prospero. Random Fact lol

Not at all, the films and games are only similar in name, and a few characters. BTW nite wont be happy reading this lol

Lol, what, when I watch the movies I try not to mix in the games because it starts to annoy me at the differences. :3

not to nitpick, because i think you are completely wrong anyway... but janus prospero, isnt that a literal translation for "duel prosperity" or "duel fortune" in latin?

anyway, i really did not hate the first movie all that much. i could look at it as just another movie about zombies. its the sequels that they start to really fuck things up story-wise. the silent hill movie mashed everything together, the resident evil movies just... they just fucked it all up. i compare it to a version of the bible where jesus rides dinosaurs into berlin to kill hitler.

Nice finds K-Mart, didn't even think about those! As for "janus prospero", I'm with Reede.

The first movie was greatness and I remember how hyped about it I was. Like Reede said, the later movies were the ones that fucked up and kept going to a completely wrong direction. Thank God for the CG movies.

Now tell me... Where can I find this version of the bible?

Janus Prospero is confirmed to be her name and that Alice is just a nickname her family and friends call her. I mean it says "janus prospero re-activated"... I dunno it just makes sense lol And yeah the sequels did mess everything up, it would have been totally possible to stick to the games and just have Alice be there, but that was not the case lol. Though Afterlife is my personal favorite then the First one!

Also, I don't get what is so awesome about the CG movie. Yeah it fits into the game canon but it just wasn't that action pack or interesting heck, it wasn't even scary!

I like all the Resident Evil movies. I khnow they don't relate much to the game but as a fan
I just love it. Not saying that anyone who's a fan HAVE to like the movies but, I like it all.

The first movie was scary actually. I did have some tantrums over how it didn't relate
to the games but I was proud of the umbrella logos. You know, I think they were
what kept me sane through these movies.

Don't you just love it when you say to your friends 'Oh I can make a better Resi than that, dur dur dur'

Oh and right now I'm watching Degeneration and the whole beginning up to the part where they get out of the airport TOTALLY reminded me of the first RE movie. Examples are when Angela tells the woman zombie to stop or she will shoot and she shot her in the leg, JD did the same exact thing in the RE movie. Also, when Angela sees her partner gets bit just like Rain sees JD get bit. I dunno there is a ton more lol
