What kind of name is Leon S. Kennedy anyway?
11 December 2008
This film was clearly conceived almost entirely by people who watch too many fan movies. Which would be fine except that they have stitched together a truly horrific monster of a film from the bits and pieces they found here and there. Almost every scene and every piece of dialogue has been borrowed from somewhere else. A little bit of Aliens here ('the ship will destruct in five minutes' anybody?) and a little bit of every other cult action/horror/sci-fi film there gives us lines such as: "you're too pathetic to kill" and "If you don't try to save one life, you'll never save any!" well, duh...

It is a very good-looking movie, which has clearly been painstakingly made by true fans of the Resident Evil franchise. I just wish they'd spent as much time and effort on the plot and the script. Oh, and the characters' names. "I'm Leon S. Kennedy" sounds heroic and American because, people, it sounds like John F. Kennedy. Although I'm pretty sure that the former US president would never have introduced himself using the middle initial, it just sounds ridiculous. Handsome guy, awful character, very much like the film.
