"Night of the Living Dead" meets "Return of the Living Dead 3"

Rating: 9/10 (4 August 2002)

I've never played any of the video games, and I'm not one for artsy-fartsy stuff, so from an entertainment standpoint, this movie was superb. Nonstop thrills and frills. With awesome special effects and a fantastic group of actors, this movie is a must-see for all Resident Evil, horror and/or sci-fi fans.
The movie stars the lovely Milla Jovovich as Alice, a woman who was the victim of short-term amnesia and was suddenly drafted into an odd and unusual mission not meant for the-light-of-heart.
Ms. Jovovich's co-star, the equally lovely Michelle Rodriguez as Rain, a no-nonsense, hardened, gonna-kick-your-ass-if-you-look-at-me-wrong kind of woman. Armed with a machine gun, she was not about to let anything get in her way.
Together, along with a few other military agents and Matt, a man who is not who he claims to be, they fight their way through Umbrella Corporation to complete their mission and eventually to save their own lives.
All-in-all, this movie was fantastic. Solely for its entertainment value, I gave this movie 9 out of 10 stars. It lost a point for being too short (a movie like this should exceed 2 hrs, in my opinion) and for the way it let me wanting more. Definitely on my must-buy list.
