This film was VERY surprising.

Rating: 9/10 (16 March 2002)

The most surprising thing about this movie was that fact that it DIDN'T suck. Actually, it's the best sci-fi horror flick I've ever seen.
I was expecting much less after seeing crap video game to big screen translations such as... "Final Fantasy" and "Tomb Raider". Unlike most moviegoers, I am also a huge fan of all these video games, and seeing those movies made me wonder what kind of crack someone had to be on to completely ruin a (potentially) great thing.
Resident Evil is the complete opposite. I went to see it with my girlfriend, who is also a fan of the Resident Evil games, and as soon as we saw the "Licker" we just looked at each other and said 'SWEET'.
There's enough jumps and unexpected surprises in this movie to keep anyone satisfied, and every time this movie seems to be straying into cliche, it turns 180 degrees into something unexpected.
Kudos to you, Paul W.S. Anderson! Thank you for an amazing movie!
NOW WHERE'S THE SEQUEL?!?!
