ten stars all the way

Rating: 10/10 (6 April 2005)

I don't even like horror movies in the first place, but this movie is so great, it beats the odds and turns out to be a fantastic always fun to watch non stop action thriller. Marilyn Manson's score is simply the best score ever and will keep you glued to your seat looking sideways and feeling your heart beat race. I understand the fans of the video game mostly don't like this movie but I guess they failed to realize that the story of this movie is about how the accident that caused the infestation of zombies happened, it's a PRE-QUEL to the first Resident Evil game. The director actually took the time to explain (commentaries on the DVD) about how he came up with this movie's story - as he did do this movie because he was a fan of the video game in the first place. Also keep in mind that as a movie maker, he couldn't make a movie exclusively for the fans of the game and I guess all are forced to agree that if he did a movie intended exclusively for the game players that would really limit the audience - and I am betting that if any of the hard critics of this movie where to make one, they would end up also realizing there is no way one can make a movie to such restricted audience. I sure hope Paul W. S. Anderson is coming up with lots of sequels to this movie. With that said, sit back (if you can) and enjoy this wonderful movie.
