A trash can filler.

Rating: 2/10 (5 April 2008)

What to say - I understand that movies inspired by computer games are somewhat limited by their origins but this can't be taken as a good excuse for just anything. That, what is acceptable in a game, is not in a movie. You see, "DOOM" wasn't good either but it was better.
Even the fact that the movie starts quite promising only adds to your disappointment when zombies appear. Cheap, cheap, cheap...
Original? You'll see a computer with self-preservative instinct, amnesia victims, underground (literally) secret labs, a corporative private army, a deadly virus, a predictable betrayal and all kind of old third-rate nonsense. Scary? Then only scary thing I found about RE is that you can advertise this kind of hackwork as an art and get away with it. Entertaining? You'll thank god that this realm of boredom only lasts for 1.5 hours (more than needed anyway).
2/10 for Milla Jovovich and James Purefoy. There's pretty much nothing else to look at.
