Kickass sound and great mood

Rating: 7/10 (18 August 2002)

This movie has simply the best sound I have ever heard in a movie. You must see it using at least a 5 speaker Dolby Digital system. That said, I also enjoyed the incredible mood and ambience the sets and lighting created. Although the plot is a bit lacking and somewhat rushed, it doesn't matter- that's not what Resident Evil is about.
*minor spolier*
The biggest drawback is the computer generated 'big bad guy'. Although the bad CG doesn't ruin the movie, they are a jarring reminder that the movie isn't real- the other special effects, however, are amazing, and could easily draw you in to the world of Resident Evil.
7/10 stars.
