No sex, no violence, no nothing

Rating: 2/10 (21 June 2006)

Movie of the video game; I thought, probably crap but...
I read a review that basically slated the movie, but implied that it had some sexy girls gratuitously flaunting semi-nudity. PAH! Milla Jovovich in a short dress?! OK, so let's look at it as a sci-fi/horror genre flick. I suppose if you'd never seen a zombie movie before, this might offer some surprises, but even by the logically-challenged conventions of the genre, it's hard to take seriously.
Mysterious mega-corporation that has 90% penetration into the consumer marketplace but nevertheless relies on military research for its income invents death-reversing virus that defies basic physics in lab run by AI computer that somehow manages to be HAL 9000 and Forest Gump simultaneously. Final scene is word-free but says loudly "Get ready to buy the sequel!"
If you think I think it's more than a bit far-fetched, you're quite right!
If you're a twelve year old boy and not, err, overly familiar with girls, you might think that this is worth an hour and a half of your time. But you'd be better off watching Tomb Raider! It's not the worst film ever made, but it tries.
