Finally a great game-to-movie conversion!

Rating: 10/10 (25 May 2003)

Movies based on video games do tend to be disappointing, to say the least, so I was very pleasantly surprised that "Resident Evil" is so good. I wasn't expecting much from the film, but then it got my attention from the very first minutes and just kept the adrenaline level high all through the story. Nice special effects, good acting and atmospheric music all add to the tension from start to end. The locations do look more like those in the game "Half-Life" than "Resident Evil" the game, but that will just make things more interesting for "Half-Life" players too.
