Summary: Wow! Finally a good video game based movie!
Review: My friend rented this movie and Ghost Ship one day. We watched both, and before we watched them he said Ghost Ship was better than Resident Evil. But after they were both over, i had to disagree. Resident Evil was an excellent action-packed thriller that is a awesome movie based on a Playstation game. The special effects on that big creature thing are so-so, but the zombies are well done. The part where the military commando guy was pulled into a room full of zombies gave me shivers and I can't imagine what that would feel like and it gave me chills just thinking about 50 or more zombies pulling at me and taking chomps out my face. But anyways, it has a good story and its not what i thought it would be; running around blasting at zombies. The ending is cool, in where Jill steps out of the hospital to find Raccoon City taken over by zombies. That tells you that there will be more movies, and that sends a happy chill up my spine. The director of this movie is same director of Mortal Kombat, which was a laugh and a half. Some parts were good, but PLEASE! Milla Jonavich and Michelle Rodriguez deserve a pat on the back for their outstanding roles, but that other guy Eric Mabius, he was a little weird. But honestly, if your looking for a fresh new horror flick, stumble like a zombie into your local video store and grab Resident Evil before it grabs you, and trust me, it will!

Summary: Resident Evil
Review: In my opinion I thoroughly enjoyed the film. Watching it 3 times praticly in a row before having to return it to the rental store. But be warned. It doesnt really relate very much to the Game at all really. With the whole buisness people building that live underground an such....dont remember that part in the game O.O...but it DOES give good scenes as well with the ''zombies'' and the all famous ''Licker''. Like I said I DID enjoy it...but if your expecting something to be almost JUST like the game series...you might want to rent it first,just so to be sure that you'll enjoy it before you buy it.

Summary: Well-made movie, based on the great game
Review: 'Resident Evil' is amongst the two best Sci-Fi/Horror movies I've watched. (The other being 'Event Horizon' also directed by Paul W.S. Anderson)The story is true to the game; a deadly virus has escaped in a secret facility called "The Hive", deep underneath Racoon City. The computer controlling the facility goes berserk, killing (?) everything & everyone in the facility. An elite military team is sent out to investigate, and thats where the movie begins, accompanied by some awesome Marilyn Manson music. And there is barely a pause, until the great ending. The only reason for the 4 stars is that the movie is not scary enough. The zombies just don't scare you. But, Milla Jovovich, in a red mini-dress throughout the movie, is stunning; she is great in the action scenes, and so is Michelle Rodriguez as Rain.

Summary: Oh please. 2.5 stars
Review: This is okay, but it's not as scary as people want you to believe it is. Stick with the older horror flicks, because they are just so much better. If you want a SCARY zombie movie, watch Night of the Living Dead.

Summary: The Red Queen is Watching
Review: The movie store, no good DVDs to hire. I scanned the shelves of weekly DVDs to discover Resident Evil there, and although I had seen it before afew days prior, I decided to get it again. I just loved it for the cast and characters. Resident Evil: The Movie is set prior to the goings on of the game series, and explains how the T-Virus was initially released by a corrupt Umbrella Agent, seeking glory. The Movie starts in 'The Hive', an Umbrella Secret Laboratory directly underneath Raccoon City. A figure is securing the virus in a briefcase, and happens to accidently let one capsule slip, splintering over the table edge and the floor, releasing the deadly virus into the air vents. The Red Queen, the super computer of 'The Hive', discovers this Biohazard and immedietly takes action to prevent it's spread, sealing in all who work in 'The Hive'. The story moves pretty quickly, considering that it only goes for little over one and a half hours, but the plot twists near the end as you get to know Alice, and Matt Addison, and all the cast of the Umbrella Special Operations Team. It is a pity what happens to Matt though, personally I think it sucks, happening to such a cute guy, but still... Can't wait til the next movie. So if you are a fan of the game series, I recommend that you check out this movie!

Summary: If you like the game, you'll like the movie
Review: Resident Evil is a movie version of what is called "Survival Horror" in the gaming industry. The ideas and a number of scenes are directly inspired by the Resident Evil Games. Milla wakes up, naked in a shower and has no memory of the past. She is in a large mansion. Soon she is beset by commandos who claim she is one of them and that they work for the Umbrella Corporation. In the mansion is an underground train station that leads to a large underground research facility that is in trouble. In the facility, known as The Hive, the team is trying to shut down an AI computer that killed everyone in the facility. Aside from the killer AI, there are plenty of zombies and even a monster. The team must defeat these and get out before the facility becomes completely sealed. Milla's character is central to the movie and she slowly regains her memories as the plot advances. We come to know her better and feel sympathetic for her. All of this is bound up and painted with classic elements of horror and action and blended so well you don't really notice the switches. Camera angles, stunts and atmosphere really push the viewer's buttons and keep the fear and adrenaline running. As the film nears its conclusion, the viewer tries to guess just what is going to happen and how it will be resolved, but the surprises keep coming until the final scene. Very fun with a minimum of blood and gore for this type of movie, but with plenty of action and spookiness.

Summary: Let's go to the drive in!
Review: When I was younger (much younger) there was a movie venue in America called the "drive in." Folks pulled up in cars, attached speakers to their windows, and watched movies on a large wall set in an enormous field. In my day, the drive in had two uses. One: it was a place where you took a girl on a date because you were too young to have your own apartment and not worldly enough to get a hotel room. When used like this, you and your date simply steamed up the windows in your old man's car, and it didn't matter what the movie was. The other purpose of the drive in was to go with a gang of your friends (with one usually stuffed in the trunk to save the price of one ticket) bringing in as much beer and wine-cooler as you could stuff under the seats. Resident Evil would have made a perfect drive-in movie, and frankly, I loved it. The gore was well done, barrowing from Alien, John Carpenter's The Thing, and Night of the Living Dead. Milla Jovovich is a pleasure to look at, scampering through the whole affair in a miniskirt, and she displayed a real flair for action as well. Finally, there is just enough good story and plotting to keep you brain at least idling. Nope, it's not Citizen Kane, but then sometimes that's a good thing. It was directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, who always brings a certain integrity to all his work, and at the least this is a carefully crafted movie. Back in the day, my friends and I would have talked for hours about this film, and considered it time well spent.

Summary: I liked it but.... please read on
Review: Ok I am a huge Resident Evil fan.... I have all of them except RE:Gaiden and RE:Survivor...(survivor I hear sucked)...
If you are a huge Resident Evil fan this may not make you very satisified.... The reason why is because only certain parts of the game are in it. For instance, Zombies, The T-Virus, Umbrella Corporation, and a small scene of Raccoon City, oh and the Licker from Resident Evil 2. But see, just because they have all these things doesn't mean that it's going to be as great as playing the game because the movie really is just like playing the game because all you do is walk around this place called "The Hive" and try to disable the Red Queen. Now what would've been VERY smart is if they would've had Stars Alpha team be the people who investigated because the other people worked for Umbrella, which kind of made me angry because I hate the Umbrella in the game! They make me so mad with all those lies but hey it's just a game... Ok now here are the facts.. PROS: Very nice Commentary w/ Milla Jovoich (Actor), Michelle Rodriguez(Actor) , Paul Anderson (Director), Jeremy Bolt (Head Producer). Very good acting, I personally liked Milla Jovoich's kicks and moves, she's good! Enough Action to satisfy anyone... Lots of Zombies CONS:
The parts of the game they put in here are not very well designed, for instance, The Licker. The Licker is the weird bizarre creature we find in Resident Evil 2 on the ceiling of a Police Station in Raccoon City. Well see the thing is that this Licker design in the movie is not completely a clone of the one from the game, so it's not quite like The Licker you'll see in RE:2. Not well Budgeted..... This movie was not well budgeted and here is why... When you see that lady in the elevator about to get her head chopped off after the T-Virus is released, why don't they show the head get chopped off? LOL Michelle Rodriguez complains about that on the commentary. This movie is Rated R so why can't they show that much gore? Paul Anderson (director) said that the movie had insufficient funds to possibly make gore and stuff. So that was lame. Also Michelle never got to use her knife, and it was because they didn't have enough time or money to show zombie guts getting taken out. The Ending was terrible.... WHAT THE HECK HAPPENS! THATS SO ANNOYING YOU CAN'T JUST GET AWAY WITH THAT! The ending leaves you wondering if Matt turns into Nemesis cause that doctor says "I want him in the Nemesis program". And where is Jill Valentine? Where is Brad Vickers? I will give them credit on one condition.... IF THEY PUT JILL VALENTINE IN THERE! WHAT THE HECK WILL HAPPEN BECAUSE IN RESIDENT EVIL 3 THE CITY IS NUKED AT THE END! So how could Alice (milla jovoich) possibly get out of Raccoon City? Thats gonna be an outrage if they do not put something about Jill Valentine on there. Also they MUST have Nemesis! They must because he was part of the story! Final Point: This movie is good but not great.... The story line isn't good enough.... But lemme tell you the commentary is great, one of the first I've been happy to hear. So good bye yalls and thanks for reading
