All Style, No Substance

Rating: 1/10 (21 April 2006)

Loved the games, very disappointed with the movie. The visual style & effects were dead on, but they totally left out a plot and the acting was less than amateur. This movie was terrible & my wife & I want our $16 back. The set design & costumes were the only high point of the film. But I think the creators focused so much on matching the eerie feeling of the game that the whole movie just became an excuse to show off the excellent visual design, with a lame attempt at a plot tacked on to the end. I never thought I'd say this, but Resident Evil 2 was a better video game-to-movie conversion, and I hated both of them. Save your $8 and rent one of the games. You will get a lot more for your money.
