This is the best video game movie EVER!

Rating: Null/10 (16 March 2002)

I'm a big fan of the video game series, and I must say that this movie is amazingly good as far as actually keeping faithful. It's a prequel to the first game, and I was shocked (in a VERY good way) to find out that it actually does take place in Raccoon City, in the labs that the games take place in...
There are a lot of things straight out of the game (Possible Spoiler: Things like the train that has the letters ALEXI on it; a nod to Resident Evil: Code Veronica, the mansion which is supposed to be the mansion from the first game, the mention of Nemesis, and the Hive, which I think is the lab that the second Resident Evil game takes place in are all parts) which is totally fantastic.
The ending is really cool (I'm not giving it away) and ties the movie directly with the second and third game. I've heard people say that it needs a sequel, but it already HAS FOUR of them! Just play the games and you'll see what I mean... If you haven't, and think that they're just shooty bloody games that don't need brains, think again, they're excellent, and will explain a lot about the movie.
