Didn't do the Video Game Justice

Rating: 7/10 (1 June 2006)

Thats all I have to say. The game plot was much better when cut into parts instead of mashing all games into one incomplete movie. If they took their time they could have made it a successful trilogy.Since there is a 10 line minimum, I'll have to go into a little more detail even though it pains me to think about the atrocities. I will start that I and many of my friends love the Resident Evil video games with a deep passion. If that video game were a woman, I would make sweet love to her. If. That may sound extreme to some, but if you can get past the lame Decalogue with no emotion of the original you will be in good shape. The game goes into much more detail than you would think so that you learn a little more each game and the conspiracy unravels slowly. But in this movie it basically goes 1) underground lab 2) outbreak 3)survival 4) open ended ending. Very vague, very very vague. If the original plot was kept intact ( isolated incidents of outbreaks being tracked to the mansion then a STARS team going in with one member being a part of the Umbrella corporation then fighting their way out and destroying the mansion leaving Raccoon city in chaos, setting up the sequel) But instead, they mash up all the plots from 1-3 and mess everything up trying to get the whole story told. I just wish that the director/producer would have been forced to sit down and play all games in order to appreciate the timeliness of plot information.
