Pretty decent film - By: Victoria Hill, 04 Dec 2008 
Resident Evil is well knownin gaming, one of the best series of games out there. Usually films made for big games don't usually work but it was actually pretty decent. Not the best film I've seen but it definitely kept my eyes glued to the screen. Some of the acting was rather dire, but I loved Milla Jovavich's acting & Michelle Rodriguez's facial expressions, even if the latter was rather cheesy. That's what I liked about it though. It was able to mix dark humour into the film (such as when Milla killed the zombiefied dogs) as well as a scary atmosphere. Some parts, such as the infamous flesh-cutting laser beam scene had me sat there with my hands to my face dreading the next few seconds. Some parts of the film was slowin places but the action-packed scenes made up for it. The storyline was a tad confusing but I was able to get the gist of it. Allin all, a good film that didn't quite deserve 5 stars from me but did nearly make it.
COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT BETTER - By: Lou Almighty, 29 Nov 2008 
RESIDENT EVIL has a lot of missed oportunities - unfortunately. The atmosphere is about right, the acting quite decent, but the certain something's missing, & that is present through the entire film. Gore hogs will certainly NOT be satisfied - stick to Fulci's or Romero's work & take a pass on this. Pity,could have been a LOT better.
A few memorable moments... - By: S J Buck, 26 Nov 2008 
I've never played the game this is based on, but I've seen most of the films that this is inspired by. If you've seen any of George Romero's zombie movies then you will know what to expect. Except this isn't as good.... Even the few good moments are lifted from other films (such as Cube).
So what you get here is an occasionally atmospheric but derivative zombie movie setin the depths of a secret establishment. The heroine walks aroundin a short red dress, which is very nice to look at but any sense of reality starts to fade quickly....
The best part of the film are the initial scenes, which occur before the heroine appears, showing what caused the problemin the first place. In the same year (2002) 28 Days Later came out. If you want to see a quality modern zombie movie see that instead, it is superiorin every way.

Guns, Girls, Zombies... GIVE ME MORE!!
Absolutely awesome, fans of resident evil & zombies alike should flockin their masses to watch this. Incredible story, & they managed quite well with special effects on such a low budget.
WATCH IT NOW!!
Cool concepts, characters/effects lacking realism - By: :::DIGITAL BABE:::, 18 Oct 2008 First of, I am not a gamer, & am not familiar with the game. This was the first time I watched this Blu-Ray. The story was engagingin that it was futuristic, & had some cool effects (although over computerized). I am rating it 3 stars, for the story & overall acting/movie. The PQ & AQ were above average, but not demo, with the picture a bit softin parts. If you're a fan of the genre, give it a rent.
