Better than average action movie

Rating: 7/10 (2 January 2005)

Just saw this movie for the first time on DVD. I was a fan of the videogames which the movies are loosely based on. That being said I am no fanboy and you will find that this is an unbiased review. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this movie. The movie does seem to convey a sense of suspense and the fight scenes are action packed. Computer animated special effects were below average. The makeup job they did for the zombies slightly makes up for it. I did not notice as many plot holes as I expected for a action movie based on a video game to have. The "nemesis", who is the toughest zombie, looks absolutely horrible. The makeup and costume just looks entirely fake. Fun, worth a rental at most. If you are a superfan of the videogames buy the criterion collection (Hahaha).
