More action oriented. Lacks the creepiness of the original VG.

Rating: 8/10 (31 May 2009)

Straight popcorn Horror cinema. I don't agree with some users who state that the producer and director was heavily influenced by the game.
In my opinion, this movie lacked of the creepiness and eerie atmosphere of the original Resident Evil game. What do I mean? The extremely dangerous, morbid, haunting and macabre atmosphere felt in the mansion in part 1 and in the streets of Racoon City in part 2.
The movie deals with a scientific explanation towards the events and most of the action sequences but I feel that it lacked of the creepiness and sadistic nature of the game.
Yes I enjoyed the extremely detailed and expensive action sequences but I wanted a more zombie oriented movie.
The direction that this movie took should please fans of Sci-Fi and Survival Scientific Horror.
