Not bad. However, worst of the series this far!

Rating: 5/10 (1 October 2007)

Before I start, I want to make clear that this movie did not live up to my expectations given the characters that are depicted. For instance, Albert Wesker is in this movie but they didn't use him at all! Albert plays a vital role for the Umbrella Corporation and he is not a meeting chairman. I don't believe his name was even introduced leaving people who don't know about the characters in the game would never have known. Also, Wesker was depicted horrifically wrong in my opinion. Overall, this movie gets 5 of my 10 stars. Although the entire Resident Evil movie trilogy doesn't follow the game in anyway, their versions are horrible. This is the worst of the Resident Evil movies that were produced. I don't understand why they wanted to do drastic leaps in time from the second movie. How on earth did the entire world get swarmed into darkness and become an almost complete wasteland and why would they want to film it in that condition? I might never find out... The good things about the movie is that they are finally progressing to utilizing the t-virus to make more powerful creatures, the Tyrant for example. Also, the countless attempts to domesticate the zombies to create a living world again is pretty cool. When I was in the theater that part of the movie received a lot of laughter as the zombie tried to use the cell phone and put shapes into the child's toy that they gave him. The laughter ceased as the zombie couldn't get the last shape in and killed 2 of the 3 scientists trapped inside. The special effects in this movie were pretty good as well. Overall, I really hope that they re-think their plots and create something that follows a little but of the Umbrella/Resident Evil storyline instead of creating their own storyline.
