    I'm reminded of “The Fallout” with Jenna Ortega which focuses on humanizing survivors of public violence. The film is about a school shooting but remarkably it avoids centering or even showing the crime, instead centering on two survivors and how they forage a friendship in the aftermath.

    My Fantastic Fest thread! Movie #1: Resident Evil Resident Evil is good, like how the Fallout series is good. It makes you feel like you're in the game, puts you into puzzles and combat, and feels like the game. It may not have the characters or lore, but Cregger has definitely played the games.

    ......The problem with this is that ignoring the problem with Microsoft not giving many of their franchises a chance to grow, none of them have the same power as a Minecraft or a CoD. The Fallout series was great, but most likely not enough to carry a movie series. #Blutoid

    This is a movie that has not aged well, and was pretty much on the nose "edgy" at release time. You don't have to dig deep to see where the Fallout games and Mad Max get their vibes from, though without the hideous misogyny [or at least making that the 'bad guys' thing]. Sorry.

    Again the method that Zack Cregger uses to make his Resident Evil adaptation should be replicated for more video game adaptation where instead of retelling the games' story you make a movie that captures the spirit of playing the game. You can see this same method being used with the Fallout show.
