One of the few good video game conversions

Rating: 8/10 (27 March 2006)

The first thing to remember here is that this movie was a very popular video game and therefore the first thing that a viewer should look for is the similarity to that game. Personally, I do not understand anyone going to see this without at least some knowledge of the game. Having said all that, this movie was almost perfect in relating to the game.
This movie had the same locations as the game, the exact same story and all the right characters that made the game so interesting. The action was good from the beginning to end and the only reason I did not vote the movie a 10 on 10 (based on rating previous VG movies) was that it suffered from the stereotypically not so perfect acting. Let's face it, it usually sucks in these types of movies.
I know that this review might seem empty but the truth is that there is not much to say. The music fits perfectly, the casting was right for the movie (even if their acting was not perfect) and it stayed true to the original. My only advice is to stay away if you don't know about Resident Evil because that may cause you to have a lesser opinion of a movie that does exactly what it is supposed to.
