From a die-hard RE fan, it ROCKS!!!

Rating: 9/10 (16 March 2002)

I've been waiting for this movie for years, and I'm glad that it was true to the game and worthy for RE fans all over the globe. I've played every game (except Gun Survivor) and I probably speak for everyone when I say that the first time you played a Resident Evil game, there were parts that scared the crap out of you (try in surround sound and you'll see what I mean). This movie has the same effect. I don't want to give away the plot (it's pretty obvious), but there were special effects in the movie that were as gory as they were awesome (the elevator, the laser room, the hives 'city simulator'). Milla Jovovich (The Fifth Element) plays the perfect role of the games 'Attractive heroine who kicks zombie butt'. I can't express how typical this movie is of the RE genre (That expression being a very good thing). The ending follows closely to the opening of the game Resident Evil:2, and anyone who saw the ending and didn't understand it, just watch the opening sequence in the video game to get a really awesome, graphic explanation. 9 out of 10 for being such a good game-to-movie.
