Resident Weevil

Rating: 9/10 (29 May 2002)

Resident Evil was really nothing more than a HiTech version of Day Of The Dead. It had basically exactly the same plot outline but less of the effects: A strange epidemic that turned humans into zombies was raging around a city turning everybody except a few lone survivors struggling to get away from these creatures and find a cure. That happens in Resident Evil aswell(The bit about the cure) but in Resident Evil:Nemisis, and happens through the course of the 'Of The Dead trilogy. But disregarding all that mumbojumbo, the film was pretty good. The special effects looked amazing like when the lazers sliced through the commando's body's, the bits slide off. Not a lot of swearing in it though, which I thought was a bit odd, because you'd expect lots in a movie like this. But quite a bit of blood and gore, which was good. This film is a must see: No noticable goofs and a real good story line.
