Ghosts of Mars gone underground.

Rating: 5/10 (15 March 2002)

I wonder why no-one compares Resident Evil with Ghosts of Mars. Both feature masses of monsters (zombies in RE, possessed settlers in GoM), lack of story, practically same type of film end and a female protagonist (Milla Jovovich in RE, Natasha Henstridge in GoM). Even that armored train from GoM shows up in RE again.
Differences are that GoM does not take itself as seriously as RE does. There's just *a bit* more story in RE. I think RE's setting also looks a bit better.
Dislikes: Computer game-like transitions in RE ("Party is on level x, entering red queen chamber"). Unnecessary shock effects of that annoying "Buh!" type.
However, RE is much fun if you like gore - and have some beer with you :-).
