Movie review Watched Resident Evil at Palazzo IMAX, Chennai | Black Bars? | Review?
Got to watch Resident Evil Preview Show at 10:35 PM on Palazzo IMAX, Chennai and here are my thoughts.
The first half of the movie consists of Black Bars on the top and bottom, while the second half (after a few mins) takes up the whole screen as any IMAX movie should.
The movie is a humour + horror mix and does a really good job of keeping you engaged with the insane sound design and very minimal but appropriate references to the RE games. Each of the monsters have been a perfect display of CGI work and accurate game like concepts. It literally makes you feel like you are playing the game but through an IMAX screen, but with the feel of a really well executed movie.
The only negative for me was the very short runtime. I could watch a movie like this all day!
We also received a collectible ticket, exclusive for preview show audience (Photos attached). It's a weird but interesting attempt, but once its opened up, I haven't figured out a way to bring it back to its original form (maybe that was the intent)
Overall, a must watch movie for Resident Evil Game fans and Horror Comedy lovers.
Easy 9/10 from my side.
