Summary: WONDERLAND........
Review: WOW! Lewis Carol was never quite like this - but this non-stopride through videoville {? is it} never lets up from the get go.

Lots of heart-numbing special effects [that grisly dog chase for example] - and just what IS that misguided experimental alien creature [lost parts of Alien Resurrection?]

All in all it is a damn good ride with lots of eye-candy for both sexes throwing in a few great zombies, a strange little red-toned girl ....... and spectacular sound!

Just a GREAT DVD experience - nothing intellectual here - just pure fun!

Not forgetting Milla Jovovich [! kind of Courtney Love-like here in the tattered red dress] ~ and Michelle Rodriguez!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Zombies in your DVD player
Review: After watching the movie on the cinema, I was waiting for the DVD edition.. Before checking out the extras, here is the story:
The movie tells that, in The Hive, an underground Umbrella Corporation laboratory, a computer who controls the whole laboratory, called Red Queen, killed everyone down there when she found out a virus was released inside. To prevent contamination outside The Hive, Red Queen closed every way out of The Hive and killed everyone. After that, a team is sent to "turn out" the Red Queen. What will they find? That's what you'll see... (See more about the movie in my Resident Evil - Movie Showtimes Review)
It's rated R because of Sci-Fi/Horror Violence (zombies, blood, this kind of things you see in the games), language (some f-words, s-words...) ande brief sexuality/nudity (you can see Milla Jovovich's breasts and vagina, real quickly).
The 5.1 Surround Sound is really good, and so is the image (Widescreen). The main menu is animated, there are the Scene Selections, audio in English and French, caption in English and French.
The main extras are:
- Making Of: A basic Making-Of.. How were the main scenes made, some things are said about the Red Queen corridor... You know, it's a Making-Of...
- Scoring Resident Evil: Tells about the movie sountrack. How was it to be working with the antichrist superstar Marilyn Manson and the classic musician Marco Beltrami? Was it easy? Or was it really hard to mix both styles?
- Zombie Make-Up Test: It's basically some zombies running around the screen.
- "My Plague" Music Video by Slipknot: It's the video of the main song in the movie soundtrack. It mixes and Slipknot show with movie scenes...
- Cast & Crew Commentary: Paul Anderson (director), Milla Jovovich (Alice), Michelle Rodriguez (Rain) and Jeremy Bolt (producer) make a very interesting and funny audio commentary.. Lots of humor, one of the greatest commentaries ever in my opinion...
- Costumes: A basic movie explaining how were the costumes created, how did the cast and crew felt about them...
- Set design: The name tells everything.. How were the sets designed, what was the most difficult...
It's worth a buy if you watched it and liked it. If you didn't watch it, just rent it, and see if you like it...

Summary: I loved this movie.
Review: This is not a zombie movie but a warning about bio weaponry mistakes, but it was still good. I maen the way that they kept the stillness from the game in it. They kept the surprises too. The actors did great too. I hope that they make a Resident Evil 2 soon cause it would be great to see.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Superbit....? Great...!
Review: This is the first film I've purchased released by this company (superbit) and I must say it's awesome. If your thinking of aquiring this film.....get it by superbit. The sound and picture are amazing....they really put alot of care into this DVD production.
I loved the games....all the way back to the first one on my PS1. The story was a bit confusing.......but I still love it. A must for horror movie buffs, and even more so for Zombi fans. I believe that if a sequel is written it will start to become much clearer.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: More Milla, please
Review: Who can get enough of our heroine? She's great looking and puts up a mean fight in this disturbing fantasy. Raccoon City's underground facility and the secret it holds comes to life. Beware of the zombie like creatures lurking about. The devilish Red Queen can't twart Milla and her team as they go in search of the cure for the T-virus. Don't get infected!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Hmmmmmm
Review: I liked this movie it had very little gore tho but for a new horror movie it had lots. I know this was based on a video game but this could have worked has a prequel to night of the living dead if you think about it, cause the story in night for the living dead is radation has caused people to mutate in this one a virus has caused people to mutate this would work too as a prequel. Anyways about the movie i gave it three stars because there inst much gore involved but it is really fast paced and it never stops and you also have some neat monsters but again you see almost no one get ripped apart by these monsters. Give this a rent if you want to.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Your new favorite movie
Review: I thought this movie was outstandingly done. It had a great directer (W.S. Anderson) and great actors (Milla Jovovich, Michelle Rodruiguez, and more). The crew worked very hard on the set and i'd have to say they did a fantastic job with the low budget that they had. The underground facility was magnificant and done all very well. The zombie make-up creator was brilliant and made the other zombie movies look like 80's movies (no offense). The suspenseful parts really made me jump, like when you think the people are really survivors, you put your arm around them and get a chunk clean right out of you. The first zombie really freaked me out, she was really well done and played a good, fairly short part, LOL, credit to the make-up artist. While watching the movie I came across the first undead scene and heard some really great Manson. Manson's scores were really well done and went along with the movie really well. Like the undead scene I was talking about, the SWAT team scene when they first enter, and even the childish waltzing music of when they find the Red Queen. Overall this movie is my favorite movie of all time, cant wait till the sequal. I own it on DVD and love the extra features (zombie make-up tests, commentary by actors and director, the making of Resident Evil, scene selection, etc.) If you have not seen this movie, rent it now, you will not be dissapointed. The other reviews sound pretty dissapointing, but it isnt as bad as they say it is. It is deffinitly a saturday night classic, haha. Credit to a wonderful Director, Outstanding crew, and Amazing actors, GOOD JOB ALL!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Well Action packed movie
Review: I thought this movie was great. Just because it's based off of a game doesn't mean it has to have EVERYTHING in it that the game had. The acting was great, with Milla Jovovich giving a spectacular performance and Michelle Rodriguez doing great as well. The zombies, and dogs look very good while the licker looks alright. The director, cast, and some of the crew actually did play through the Resident Evil games to get a feel of what the game is like and to know what it's about. Be waiting for the next part in Resident Evil where Alice will meet Jill =D Anyways, I really do recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys action flicks or the game.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Some Scary Moments...
Review: I thought this movie would be a little better than it was, but, oh well. Anyway, the worst part of the movie is the acting. Have you not seen acting this bad in your life? Also, the movie needs a little more Colin Salmon. He is about the only non-boring character in the movie. Another bad thing is the fact that the whole movie takes place in a weird underground facility. What happened to the glamourous mansion and dilapidated laboratory? The game doesn't take place in some shiny, futuristic complex. Another problem. I guess the good parts of the movie are action sequences when fighting the undead creatures. The zombies also look good, but sometimes the creatures look like unscary crap!Who likes that? Take a look at the version of the Licker and you'll see what I'm talking about. There are some very well done jump scenes, such as with the man being attacked by his sister. But others are deliberately there, trying to be suspenseful. Then, after you freak slightly, it turns out to be nothing at all! The movie was well-done, but too short, sometimes boring, and untrue to the game. Overall, if you like zombie movies or Resident Evil, you might wanna check this movie out. If you don't like zombies or RE, stay far, far away!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Really good!
