 | My biggest annoyance with this movie is the fact that it has almost nothing to do with the original video game. The other thing that annoys me is the fact that 2/3 of the characters are killed in about 5 minutes and we don't even get to really know half of them. Other than that the visual style, special effects, and story of the movie all add together to produce an entertaining sci-fi horror movie that will hopefully not cause an outrage amongst die hard fans of the video games. This isn't meant to be a re-make of the first game, but it does use some similar elements and some completely knew ones. If you enjoy Paul Anderson's other works such as Soldier, Event Horizon, and/or AvP, you'll probably like this. If you only go for Spielberg type movies than stay away from this at all costs. |

| Being a huge fan of the games and a huge horror fan, i was excited when i heard about this. But that soon vanished after seeing the movie. Poor special effects and CG, coupled with characters i didn't give a crap about wasn't much insentive to watch to the end but i gave it a go. It didn't really get much better. A few good scenes and the original Licker were ok, but all in all it's not one to rush out and buy right away. And if you are gonna get it, don't expect too much. Enjoy! |

| I thought the movie was ok but it was not one of my favorites.
I loved the zombies,Milla Jovovich's character,and Michelle Rodriguez.
Other than that it's ok.

| I this movie has people living and working underground in a place call The Hive. It's right under Raccoon city. A T-Virious starts to infect all the employees down their and turn them into zombies. A woman who can't remember anything was caputred by a cop until some guys in uniforms broke in and grabed the cop they took her and the cop down the hive to shut the hole place down, it turns out that they ran into some trouble by kill the zombies if they don't want to get bitten and become one. This first is not so much base on the video game like the second movie is but it is a lot more blooder which I like. |

| -- One more time.
It's pretty good of its kind. You know, the UnDead walk the earth (stumble, mostly), driven only by the urge to chomp on anyone not yet of their kind. Genus: scary monster movie, Species: undead zombie, Distinguishing features: Milla Jovovich.
'Resident Evil' does a pretty fair job. This time, the cause is is a virus cooked up in secret labs by The Evil Corporation, tapping into more modern kinds of fears and kinds of bad guys. (Give the movie a little time, and your idea of who's bad might change.) The action is strong, continuous, and well paced, with one more surprise in every scene, right up to the end. That ending, of course, sets up the inevitable sequel.
Since they followed the recipe for a good monster/action flick, not a lot could go wrong. Milla's babe appeal spiced up the mix in a few places, especially near the end, but could have been used more. The movie dishes big servings of action, served with a bit of gore. In the end, though, the result lacks flavor. I enjoyed watching it, but it never really rises above its genre.
