Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, the latest in the series of Resident Evil CGI films, just hit Netflix. It’s the first of two Resident Evil productions that will be exclusive to the streaming service and serves as a pseudo-sequel to Resident Evil: Degeneration and a prequel to Resident Evil 5.
While Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness is presented as a four-part miniseries, it’s not really. It’s 100% a film that’s been chopped into four parts. I’m sure some Netflix algorithm predicted that audiences would respond better to 4 25:00 episodes than a 1:45:00 movie, but don’t get things confused. This production is the next Resident Evil CGI film, no more, no less.

Ready for a documentary about three decades of agonizing fits and starts of the Mideast peace process, from the perspective of US negotiators? You’re probably thinking that doesn’t sound too enticing right about now. But there’s a reason “The Human Factor,” by Israeli filmmaker Dror Moreh, escapes what would seem a likely fate of being interesting only to policy wonks and those with a direct stake in the issue, and it has something to do with the title. It’s a reference to a line from Dennis Ross, the best-known negotiator of the bunch. “You can’t ignore the human factor,” he says at the beginning. “Someone who has a human touch treats someone else with respect. Someone who has a human touch doesn’t think they’re going to outsmart anybody.”
