Holy shit! This is a turnout for the books: everything Alice has been up to in the last four films is being used against her. The release of the T-Virus in Umbrella’s underground research lab, the fight with Nemesis, all that business with the Road Warrior-style desert battles, and even kicking the shit out of Wesker were all a dupe. Alice has been played, and now she wants payback.
There are so many cool things going on in this concise trailer — it’s only two minutes long if you exclude the fluff at the start — that I’m not quite sure where to begin, or even where to end. So here are three of the coolest bits:
The Huge Tyrant
We thought Nemesis was a force to be reckoned with, but this brute blows him out of the water. This tyrant is as big as a car, and looks pretty much unfazed by bullets. Even running him over with a car just seems to stun him for a second.
A Ton of Gunships
Clouds of these evil little rocket-spewing beauties can be seen blowing the hell out of everything on screen. They’re fast, agile and armed to the teeth; their only weakness might be an inability to hit dual-wielding superhumans standing very still.
The Return of Jill Valentine
Sienna Guillory is back as the blonde with the red crystal around her neck. Last seen in Resident Evil: Afterlife, that gem is a mind control device, which is definitely bad news for humanity: Jill is on another level when it comes to badass action heroines, perhaps even as good as Alice.
Those are just my favorites, but the whole thing is gold: the return of Wesker, Ada Wong’s choice of outfit, Alice braining a zombie with a baseball bat… solid gold.
