Survive The Horror!

Rating: 10/10 (9 August 2002)

First of all...I cant wait for the sequel, which is due ot be released next year! I watch the film last night before I went to bed and I must admit: I think the film IS fantastic! I loved it. The film kept to the atmosphere and world of Resident Evil completely well - especially the ending of a film showing the dead city. The sets were great and kept the look of the game. It shows a good story based before the first Resident Evil, which doesnt even show how the Umbrella mansion had a biohazard. The action was non-stop and great throughout the film, I think the Licker 'Hunter' was great and pretty vicously cool! One bad mother f***er in my opinion HeHe! It was VERY good entertainment as it is NOT very easy turning games into movies these days. The only last one was Mortal Kombat, not Annihilation; also directed by Paul Anderson so I think he made a good achievement. My only complaint is that I wished Michelle Rodriguez's character survived! I hope that Paul does just as well with RE2: Nemesis. I rate this 9 outta 10! Don't expect it to be Oscar or this Millennium's great film, its a Blockbuster for the summer and great entertainment; no cheesy Milla Jovovich 'taking on the entire zombie nation on her own' crap. The film was great as its not often you see a great zombie flick. I wonder who will be playing Jill Valentine? And I hope that Milla stays on to play Alice.
There is one spoiler though...mainly about the game. In both the game and film, it states: when bitten by a zombie, you are infected. Yet in the game you never turn into a zombie or have time to find an anti-dote for the virus. It would make the game harder but more interesting and true to the zombie transformation. Anyway give the film a go whether or not you have played the games. Its a memorable action film!
