Absolute worst in the series; maybe worst movie ever

Rating: 1/10 (12 December 2012)

I read somewhere that Sienna Guillory only got the part because she looked similar to the character from the game; watching her acting skills, I can definitely believe it. I can think of very few movies with worse acting than hers.
And that's only the start of this train wreck. Having never played the games, I can't comment to the similarities, but I've been told that this movie more than the rest was based off the games. If that is the case, they obviously didn't repeat that mistake with the latter films. Poor casting, worse acting, plot holes you could drive an eighteen wheeler through, terrible dialog, things so unrealistic as to give even the most avid zombie-genre fan pause.
For example... The dead are coming back to life; Alice, Jill, and their rag tag team have to leave the 'safety' of the church, so where do they go? Traipsing through a graveyard. Genius. Nemesis using a chain gun to destroy all the STARS members, but leaving the lone civilian standing in the middle of said STARS members still standing, even though the bullets never stop. Dead STARS to the front, rear, left and right of LJ get blown away, but not him.
Then of course, there's the actual plot holes. We go from seeing Alice leaving the hospital wearing little more than a bib and a lab coat, to her fully dressed (although I use the word loosely, considering the clothes she put on where nothing more than scraps), fully armed, with a motorcycle... and riding in to the church where a small group is huddle, saving them just in the nick of time. From there, we follow them around as the 'desperate doctor' calls them on every phone in the city, offering them a deal: if they save his little girl, he'll get them past the walls. What walls, you ask? Why, the walls that Umbrella installed, walls that completely seal off the city... Walls that apparently nobody was concerned by in the first place.
I could go on, and on about this disgrace of a movie... But suffice to say, there wasn't a single redeeming quality to this movie. If I hadn't started watching this series after the fourth movie came out, I probably wouldn't have, if I had seen this train wreck first. Don't waste your time, or your money.
