Resident Evil Damnation

[TheBatMan]

Got the DVD today.

The Las Plagas: Organism of War feature is set up as quite a cool video report on each of the monsters we see in the film. It is narrated by a Dr. William Gibson who is working for an unknown organisation, although it is not US Government affiliated and it is not Ada's organisation.
The only really new information is that it confirms the cultivated plaga was developed by Svetlana's scientists and one of them was killed for leaking information to Dr. Gibson to make his video report. Unfortunately it tells us nothing new about the parasite itself.

Not watched all of DNA of Damnation yet but Shotaro Suga hints that Leon and Ada have had a romantic liason sometime following the events of Resident Evil 4, which is what Ada's line about 'carrying on from where we left off that night' is based on.

Gaaaaaaaah I want to see this movie so badly, lol. Hopefully I'll be able to, soon. It looks a LOT better then Degeneration to me.

So I'm watching Damnation right now, not bad I am at the scene in the underground passage ways and as soon as I saw Leon one handing the flashlight I instantly thought about RE 3.5 from his movements.

Oh and also this movie shows exactly why Las Plagas and enemies like the Javo are so much better then Zombies.

How do you know the script was not properly translated?, did you have access to the japanese script or voice work to make the comparison?.

The movie is written by the same writer as Degeneration, Darkside Chronicles and BH6 and yet Leon's personality is completely different from any of those games, as is Ada. The only other time this happened was with BH4, which was also a piss poor localization attempt. Also, the localization was handled by "BANG ZOOM! ENTERTAINMENT". BH6 is being handled by Just Cause Productions, and they are generally more accurate to the original script not counting mistakes. I can't wait to see the exact differences once the Japanese version is released.

He says that about everything.

And I'm always right about it. Hur hur.

I thought it was pretty awesome how some areas in the movie gave REmake/Zero vibes. The underground tunnels and the church, in particular, felt like they could've fit right in the NGC-era games.

Mercer's role in the movie was killed by the appalling translated script,

Actually, given that RE6 is references in the credits, we may hear about it again.

[Kei_M]

Hmmm, I'm sure Archives 3 will clear it up a bit

I think this movie could have some real connection to RE6 if they choose to reference it. Chris himself has much more of a bone to pick with Ada than we originally thought. Now, not only did she kill his men, she has now also impersonated a member of his organization and somehow weasled herself out of an arrest warrant they placed on her. It was a mistake for her to reveal her 'real' name, though she probably used it so fans and non-fans would be on the same page regarding her identity. She should have just said she was Jill Valentine, I think even allot of non-fans would know that wasn't true. Jill's pretty well known. But I've accepted that this movie will never be referenced again so...Oh Well, Chris will probably have no idea who Ada Wong is.

I'm not sure what was vague about it.

Ada blackmailed Simmons, by offering him the dominant strain in exchange for the erasure of her arrest warrant. Clearly the man was someone involved in the American government and the beard gave away his identity. Her comment about the appeal of a warrant was sarcasm, obviously.

That's what I took away from it but others thought differently.

The final scene seems rather vague. Ada could be genuinely appreciative of him erasing her arrest warrant, or she could be being sarcastic and fucking over Simmons. The movie's entire English script is pretty fucked up.

@ Archelon,

While i still believe the guy to be Simmons at the end I may be wrong with it being Carla. When I first watched it I assumed she was being sarcastic and saying, "I thought adding international arrest warrant to my file--" as if she was boasting she wanted to add it to mess up Ada even further. But it seems he typed her a threatening message to hand over the parasite or he'd make sure it was added. So you may be right with it being Ada.

[Carnivol]

I don't want any pirate talk here. I murder people for it.

Either way, it's possible to grab it from foreign download services (such as Zune) if you use a proxy/VPN network/setup. Just sayin'.

Thank you for your input Miss Marple.
