Given the source material and time it was made...

Rating: 5/10 (20 February 2020)

Making a movie based on a video game has only lately, when things in the industry are different, proved to be a good move. "Resident Evil" tries it's best, but instead of survival horror, we have action movie mixed with horror. Only "scares" present in this movie are jumpscares. Milla Jovovich is bland as a main character, Michelle Rodriguez being a far better suited for the role. Action is mostly bad and the best parts come in form of, ironically, hand to hand fighting with zombies (Jovovich). Story has a good idea, but it all falls flat with the atmosphere. It's jut when you watch a movie and you feel like you are not enjoying it, forcing yourself to watch it. Same is with this one. I wouldn't watch it again. As far as video game adaptations go, this one is good for it's time, but now, it isn't very good. Still, if you want to pass some time and are a fan of the games, knock yourself out. 5.5./10 (for a video game adaptation), 6/10 (for an action horror movie).
