Theater Report: [RESE4]
Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D
Showtime: 10:00 a.m.
Venue: AMC La Jolla 12 (San Diego County, CA)
10 butts / 278 seats (3% full)
Snacks: Hot chocolate from 7-11.
Trailers: I caught Saw 3D, Faster, and The Social Network, but missed the rest.
Box Office Potential: Beats me -- this show is pretty useless as far as prognosticating is concerned. I saw Apocalypse early in the day (probably around 3) at a similar location and attendance was less than 10, so if anything then no drop in attendance and the % of 3D dictates the figure. In other words, we'll know later tonight.
My Take: More of the same, this time on a 95-minute 3D demo-reel. Paul W.S. Anderson pretty much does the usual -- forgets the "adaptation" in "video game adaptation" -- and produces what you'd expect of the original source, sans the controller. It's at least less painful than Extinction and has one cool action set-piece towards the end. And Jovovich and especially a brunette Ali Larter are predictably hot, so at least there's that. Full review to come on BucketReviews.com tomorrow morning.

Thanks for getting me sick!!! {nm} Sep 10, 22:52
Thnx. I'm just back from a 4:30 imax 3d showing, probably 100+ppl. I was bit disappointed, some good stuff, but way too short Sep 10, 17:59
Enjoyed the film. The 3D was the best example of the tech outside of Avatar. About 250 people/50% full @ 5:30 {nm} Sep 10, 21:01
Thanks man, this is how I figured as a real fan of the VG; but 10:00am tad early there is nothing here until 2:00pm Sep 10, 22:26
$6 before Noon if it's an AMC, plus $3 for 3D. {nm} Sep 11, 04:11
