Forget the game, its a great movie!

Rating: 9/10 (11 December 2011)

I have never played the Resident Evil video games, and i doubt i ever will, yet i watched Resident Evil and was hooked!
Bearing in mind that i have never played the games i found the start very confusing. However i soon found it was really easy to get the idea of the plot and became gripped. The film is very intense and builds up suspense perfectly, even when they first entered the Hive i expected a horde of zombies to attack them, it was great.
The great acting helps to make the film have more meaning, especially Milla Jovovich (Alice) who turns into a bad-ass heroine. However i believe the film keeps some aspects of the game, which may hinder the film to people who don't play the game.
I would definitely recommend watching Resident Evil as it may surprise you and get you into watching the sequels!
