Entertaining thrill ride

Rating: 8/10 (20 March 2002)

This film, based on the popular video game, has a group of soldiers battling zombies in some kind of futuristic science lab underground.. the layout of the place was never really clear to me. However, the film is very entertaining even as it plays up the cliches of the zombie genre. Milla Jovovich comes off well as an amnesiac who joins the soldiers as they fight the zombies, and she turns out to be a formidible fighter, even though she spends most of the film semi-naked... but hey.. works for me... The film is an entertaining thrill ride that plays like a live action video game but if you go in expecting that, you get what you wanted. GRADE: B
