A different movie

Rating: Null/10 (1 July 2002)

3rd day showing, I stood waiting on my brother to go in and watch the movie. An avid fan of the RE:games (well 1 and 2 at least), I had mixed feelings of the movie. Several countless nights in front of my computer playing the game until early in the morning hours, the sound effects of the games were so addicting. They drew you into the game, until finally as the house would cool from the days heat and a pop here or a crack there, and suddenly you were looking around the room wondering if it was possible.

So you can see my position on this, many movies have been made of something that is in another medium, and gone so wrong from it. And usually it is such a big flop that it never recovers. RE the movie could have suffered from the same effect, but in truth I think the movie came out exceptionally well all things considered. The movie was well scripted for the genre, the characters were believable, the special effects were great.

One thing I missed was the audible ambience of the game, to me that made the game. Did it hurt the movie? For the most part no, but would have made it better. While my brother screamed for more bloodshed I found the level of gore to be very acceptable, while the games were much more violent and gore to gag a maggot, I don't see that kind of thing a plus, especially if you want the movie to have a big enough drawing to warrant more movies, and this movie I want more of!
On a scale of 1-10 I give this movie a 9.5 rating. There could be some improvements, but they aren't needed. I believe the movie ended just as it should have, and I am anxiously awaiting the sequel.
