Summary: RE Serves its purpose
Review: I understand why a lot of the real "horror fans" were let down by this movie, but I have to say, it was refreshing to see a "zombie movie" (a real sub-genre with rabid adherents) that wasn't filled with 200 Gallons of blood-squibs. This was a playfully nasty little bit of fun, meant to give you a little thrill, and a few smiles, too.

Maybe I was in just the right mood when I saw this in the theatres, or maybe I'm more forgiving than other folks, (yeah, right), but I liked RE for what it is;

Fun.

It serves it's purpose. Relax and enjoy it.

Summary: Five Stars!!!
Review: I Saw Resident Evil the movie in Mexico on the Omni screen with THX sound at 6 floors high and wide its was amazing. now the DVD is here and the movie is a perfect transfer from Cine to DVD. the game to movie transfer was delt with good enough new carictors, new house on the other side of the forist, the train sequence wasdelt with good too as in the second game you see the train leave and there was an endless tunnel behined it so there is where the train comes from the new house. The Hive is the same from the seconed but in the game you could only make it a serten size due to computer memory and time and probably more reasons but on film you can show the full size. The house is an Emergancy Escape house to recive high class personel and to evacuate them. The house also functions as Emergency Entrance to the Hive in case's where fast entrance is needed. In all it was good to see the movie after a 6-7 year weight from one director to an other etc... . The FX were top class, The Sound was done well, The Music was done well, and the Actores were good. The next thing to weight for is the Directors Cut in witch i will sertenly get as well. A definet 5 Stars Movie as is and with the next version the Directors Cut in 4-5 months that would probably be a 10 stars film.

Summary: This movie rocked!!!!
Review: The subject of this review says it all. This is the first actual SCARY movie I have seen in a long time. This is the first movie to actually make me jump more than once and not at some lame effect. This is one of the best movies I have ever seen in my entire movie viewing history and I would have to rate it 6 stars if I could. Buy this movie, you wont regret it. The special effects and the plot behind it was just f'in awesome. Again, i dont know why people put this movie down for not being more like the game, it wasnt supposed to be, it was supposed to be a Prequel to the game and it is a very nice one. The movie left alot of room for a sequel which I surely hope comes out soon as I cant wait for it. Welp, there's my two cents :) Hope it helps :D

Summary: A lot more fun than the game.
Review: This was one the few movies in a long while that I enjoyed more than a *little* bit. I think the people who went into the movie with a "Oh, brother" expectation got what they were expecting. But I personally thought it created a great spooky mood with mesmerizing shots early in the movie that could've come straight from a Stanley Kubrik flick (The Shining, 2001 A Space Odyssey).

The production value is a bit odd at times. Some parts look like they spent a ton of money but then others look like they were seriously rushed. Did you guys keep seeing the Microphone Boon about 20 times in this movie too?
The earlier posts about wanting more gore are a bit disturbing. WTH? There's *Plenty* of gore in this movie. If you didn't think so, I suggest a seriously overdue reality check. I do admit the Zombie crowd scenes didn't quite work but overall, the storyline is good (yeah some of the smaller details seem overlooked / left out).

Milla Jovovich of course looks fine (though kinda grungy) and is a surprisingly good actress. Although how many people are going to admit that when it's in the context of a movie based on a video game? She's already shown what she could do in the fifth Element so it really shouldn't come as a surprise but she's definitely proven here that she's more than just a pretty face.

The movie definitely evokes the same mood that the Original Night of the Living Dead did. "It's us versus them and we gotta get outta here." A Definite recommend.

Summary: This movie you MUST have
Review: I'm a serious fan of horror flicks and have had a dread of zombies since a child forced to watch Day of the Dead with my dad lol. Problem is I havent seen any actually scary flicks until I walked in to see RE. In a dark theatre I sat with my entire body embroiled in shivers, the slightest sound behind me sent shockwaves of icy fear through me and it took over an hour after the movie for that fight or flight response to die down. You MUST own this movie it's one of those few rare gems you stumble into, and if you have a home theatre system OMG turn all the lights out close the shades and be really ready to tremble muhahahaha

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: RE review
Review: OK I have to start by saying that RE is my all time favorite video game series hands down, it kicks A$$. The Movie, It rocked! Every aspect of the screamed resident evil, and it showed everything I love about The game. Some parts were a little much in gore but it was presented well. The visuals were some of the best to date. The zombies looked awesome. I cannot wait for the DVD to come out! Rent it buy it give it a chance before you listen to stupid professionals who said it [was not good]

Summary: My DVD Review
Review: Hello everybody,

I have viewed the DVD of "Resident Evil" and here's what I think of it. The overall DVD is okay, it could have had more features. I mean how come a movie that did somewhat better in theaters than "Final Fantasy" (which got a I'll have to admit good 2-Disc Set)not get a 2 or 3 disc special edition. Anyway, the features were okay, but not great. I loved the 5 mini-documentaries especially "Scoring The Film" (because I absolutely love every single second of Marilyn Manson and Marco Beltrami's music score) and "Making the film" which is 30 minutes of greatness! There are 6 theatrical trailers (1 for this movie, XXX, Formula 51, Spider-Man, MIIB: Men In Black 2, Final Fantasy), a Slipknot music video (a live performance accompanied by Resident Evil movie footage), Audio Commentary with Milla Jovovich, Michelle Rodriguez and Paul Anderson (the mastermind behind this great movie and MORTAL KOMBAT 1, not the horror that was Mortal Kombat Annihilation that was John Leonetti's fault. E-mail him and complain, leave Anderson alone) and filmographies. The movie looks terrific on DVD. It is a high definition transfer, which makes it look better and there is a loud 5.1 soundtrack. Here's what I wish they would have done:
Put an isolated score with 5.1 audio (no commentary)
Sound Effects only in 5.1 audio (they did it for Toy Story 1 and 2)
Dolby Digital 6.1 EX Surround
Full-Screen Presentation (with the widescreen)

But of course there is always hope for a SUPERBIT Deluxe release which may come later on which'll probably be 3-discs long if they hope to fit more features and full-screen presentations and DTS 6.1! Well, buy this DVD now! Or wait until more news of a deluxe or ultimate edition will be released or buy both!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The last 5 minutes...
Review: of this movie is what made the rest of the movie bearable. Milla's outfit? Yummmmm......

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: PRAISE, Not a review...
Review: I just wanted to say that this movie is great. If you like zombies, sci fi action, and a cool soundtrack. Then check out this flick. I like it personally because I think zombies are cool, even if I do hate zombies. Great flick.
