Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

anselmdaniel This review contains spoilers.Resident Evil is a movie based on the video game of the same name. The movie is directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and stars Milla Jovovich as Alice. The movie ias about a research structure called The Hive under a remote mansion close to Racoon city. The Hive is researching the T-Virus, a virus that alters its host to create zombies.Resident Evil is first and foremost not meant to be a classic movie. The movie relies too much on the video game's setting and it does not even have characters from the video game in this movie. The movie has its own cast that the movie relies on with its own story. This can be a good thing if the movie's plot can build upon the video game's plot, but the movie does not. This movie's plot is an excuse to have bio-weapons, zombies, and a paramilitary group fighting the zombies.The action is tame in today's standards but it is still fun to watch. There are some fun and creative sequences in this movie such as the laser hall sequence. I loved watching this trap and the stunts that were required from the actor. The zombies were threatening at first, but soon became background props for the characters to overcome.The sets in this movie are well designed. I liked the atmosphere the sets created. The Hive felt creepy and nefarious across the entire run-time. This setting of an underground laboratory definitely helped the movie stay on the horror genre.The acting in this movie is not good. This is not a reason to be watching these kinds of movies and the actors and actresses do an acceptable job that it is not too distracting.Overall, I would recommend Resident Evil. The movie has its flaws but it is still a fun movie to watch.

rlindsay-88363 Mila jovavich running around for an hour looking for a plot. If you have no idea about the game then give it a miss, nothing will make sense. It's just people running around the levels of a game being chased by zombies for some reason

Claudio Carvalho In the near future, the powerful Umbrella Corporation has a hidden research facility called The Hive underneath Raccoon City, where the scientists develop genetically engineered drugs for medical purpose and biological weapons. After stealing the lethal T-virus, a thief contaminates The Hive and the artificial intelligence Red Queen seals the Hive and kills all the staff and guinea pigs. A woman called Alice (Milla Jovovich) awakes naked in a bathroom of a mansion without memory and soon a commando led by a man called One (Colin Salmon) subdues her and another man called Matt (Eric Mabius), who claims to be a cop. Alice learns that she is a security guard with her partner Spence (James Purefoy) assigned to protect the entrance to The Hive and her memory will return in an undefined period since she was affected by a gas. The Red Queen had a malfunctioning five hours ago and had shut down the facility and killed everybody releasing a lethal gas. Now they need to shut down the Red Queen and restart her systems. They use an underground train to reach The Hive and the Red Queen asks then to leave the place. However Kaplan (Martin Crewes) disables the Red Queen opening the doors in The Hive. Soon the group learns that the staff has turned into zombies and now they are under siege of the zombies. Most of the commando dies and only Alice, Spence, Matt, Rain (Michelle Rodriguez) and Kaplan survive. Now they need to find a way to escape from The Hive since the system will shut down the exits in a short period. Who will survive?"Resident Evil" is a great sci-fi action horror film by Paul W.S. Anderson. Milla Jovovich, Michelle Rodriguez and the rest of the cast have good performances and the non-stop action is engaging. The gloomy pessimist conclusion fits perfectly to the story. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "Resident Evil: O Hóspede Maldito" ("Resident Evil: The Damned Guest")

swilliky The video game adaptation sparks a franchise that has soldiered for five sequels. The first film begins with the hive of the Umbrella Corp under a lockdown as a virus spreads through the facility. Alice (Milla Jovovich) wakes up with a blurry memory inside a mansion. She encounters Matt (Eric Mabius) who claims to be part of the police force when they are captured by a military team. The leader of the team is One (Colin Salmon) who is taking them from the mansion deep underground to stop the evil rogue AI, the Red Queen, beneath Raccoon City. Alice also has memories of being married to Spence (James Purefoy). She teams up with Rain (Michelle Rodriguez) after most of the team is eliminated by a laser beam hallway. The movie turns into a typical zombie movie from that point on with cheap special effects and over the top action common for a movie directed by Paul W.S. Anderson. Audiences have been spoiled with zombie gore since this film was released and this is nowhere near one of the top in this subgenre of horror. The special effects are pretty flimsy and dated too.
