Alice is a happily married woman, living in a beautiful mansion in Racoon City.. at least that's what the outside world is lead to believe.. In truth, he marriage is a sham, she is an undercover agent for the Umbrella corporation, and so is her "husband", they have been placed in the mansion to guard the secret entrance to Umbrella's top secret research lab the Hive.. unfortunately, Alice can't remember any of this, she has amnesia.
The film follows Alice and a team of soldiers going into the Hive to find out what happened to the scientists who lived and worked there, and Alice slowly begins to remember who she really is and what her real agenda is. The team soon discover that strange things were going on down there, and the scientists may not be quite as dead as they thought...
The special effects are great, and the sound-track really works well with the action, and hightens the intensity of certain moments in the film. Comparisons have to be made with certain George A Romero films, especially Day of The Dead, and of course many watch it and judge it on the basis of it's connection to the Resi Evil games, but forget about all that, and just go in to the film with no pre-conceptions. A lot of people didn't like this film, but watch it as a no brainer action film with some great effects and
you'll have fun.
