Did an impromptu rewatch during my labour day weekend. Had never watched past Extinction before. Retribution is FAR better than Afterlife and the whole thing ended on a pretty weak entry. But on the whole, fuck the haters; I un-ronically had a blast turning my brain off and watching all of them.

Are we not doing phrasing any more?

    They are fun. I think most people just didn't like how they differed from the games. I was never into the games that much so I don't care how they differ.

    I'm glad you liked them, but after the first one I was kinda lukewarm. I'm a Milla fan from way back, and that's enough to watch them, but the overall series just doesn't immerse me.

    Not sure how unpopular the opinion is what with the financial success of even the later films, but it sure runs counter to the usual fanboy crowd lol.

    Milla doesn't get enough credit for being a kick-ass female action star. You rarely see her mentioned with the likes of Sigourney's Ellen Ripley or Linda Hamilton's Sarah Connor, etc.... Yet she easily carries the franchise on her shoulders. Just all around bad-ass.

    Always thought they were fun in a vacuum if you ignore the source material. It was also my introduction to how well Michelle Rodriguez dies on-screen. She does it in just about every movie she's in but the first Resident Evil made me pick up on dying on screen as a skill because of her.

    And Mila kicking ass is always a fun time. I also never made it past Extinction, but Extinction had some peak action for younger me. I should give those movies a watch again
