I have seen the best.

Rating: Null/10 (21 March 2002)

After seeing the film "Resident Evil" I was very pleased. Writer and director Paul Anderson, who also made the "Mortal Kombat" movie has successfully made another game to movie port. The movie makes many references to the video games, such as the 'Nemesis' and Leon Scott Kennedy characters.... although you have to listen closely.
If your wondering why you should bother with this one after losing faith with video game to movies with that horrible offering "Tomb Raider" you will very much like this movie. The action is steady at times but picks up after a while, it really does well in it's performance. I myself thought that this movie would be horrible, but to my surprize, I was dead wrong (yes that was a cheap pun, I know).
The plot is very thick and supported by a great cast. It doesn't quite follow the games but is similar in it's own unique way.
During the movie even the most die-hard horror movie fan will have jump during some sequences. Thought there are many gaps in the scenes (due to major editing as not to earn an NC-17 rating) the gaps in scenes do not show very well, I wasn't aware of this until I read an interesting review made by GameShark.com.
The bottom line is simple, even if you have not played the video games, you will still understand this movie and really enjoy it. I had a really fun time watching this movie, and so will you.
If I had to rate this movie I think I would have to give it a 8 out of ten. In addition to its greatness it leaves room for a sequel, and trust me, there's gonna be a sequel.
