Whenever Yue Ming, a 32-year-old bank worker and amateur film critic, is asked what his favorite movie is he always says the Resident Evil series. So, it's expected that he would be in the audience when the sixth installment of the Resident Evil franchise opened in China on February 24.
Adapted from Japanese video game manufacturer Capcom's famous work of the same name and starring American actress Milla Jovovich, the first Resident Evil movie hit the big screen in 2002. Fifteen years, five sequels and two animated films later, the franchise still has a strong fan base.
Although only the last three films in the series were shown on the Chinese mainland , the franchise has been quite well received. According to cbooo, a website that collates China box office data, the fourth Resident Evil film, Afterlife (2010) made 135,580,000 yuan ($19,716 ,999) in box office earnings, and by February 27, the box office earnings of Resident Evil: The Final Chapter had made over 654,170,000 yuan.
"It's an end to a movie series that spanned 15 years. I cannot help thinking about the thrill and shock when I watched the first movie years ago. It was absolutely the No.1 disaster, science and action movie," Yue said.
He thinks there are two reasons Chinese viewers love Resident Evil. First , it came out at the beginning of the 21st century when there were barely any good scary movies and science fiction films available in China. Also, zombie-themed games and movies were also nonexistent.
"That is why Resident Evil was No.1 in the area. First impressions are the strongest," Yue said. "You cannot deny that the Resident Evil film series was an outstanding example for zombie movies that came afterward."
Second, the movie's storyline, which pits good against evil, appeals to Chinese tastes, as Chinese filmgoers "tend to appreciate when there is fierce fighting between justice and evil , and justice wins," Yue said.
"Stories like these will always be successful at the box in China. Most Chinese prefer action and adventure movies rather than art and literary films," he said, adding that more than 80 percent of the scenes in Resident Evil: The Final Chapter and another American film xXx: The Return of Xander Cage (2017) involved action, and both were well received by Chinese viewers.
According to him, Chinese filmgoers have a hero complex.
"I think some of us view Alice as the Monkey King, who always wins no matter what kind of setback and difficulty he encounters ," he said. "They are not unhappy and scared to watch the scary movie because they know Alice is sure to win, and with the cool fighting scenes and elaborate special effects, they just enjoy it."
Although the film continues to make money at the box office, there are still many critics online. Most of them question the logic and cohesion between the final film and it predecessors.
