About this movie

In this action-packed thriller based on the popular video game series, something terrible is lurking in the Hive, a vast underground research facility. A deadly viral outbreak occurs, and in response, the Red Queen; a supercomputer that controls the Hive, seals the entire facility to contain the leak, killing all the trapped employees. When Alice (Milla Jovovich) and Rain (Michelle Rodriguez) lead a commando team to isolate the virus, they soon discover that the workers are not really dead; they are now the ravenous Undead, from whom one bite or scratch brings instant transformation into their kind. Alice and the task force have three hours in which to pass through a series of horrifying obstacles to complete their mission before the virus threatens to overrun the Earth. 2002 Constantin Film Produktion GmbH.

Resident Evil had good action, but fell short. (You can thank Paul W.S Anderson for that) All the characters in the film were not in the video game. The only storyline from the video game that was accurate was the T-Virus. Overall, the script could use some polishing! Again, Paul W.S Anderson really did ruin the first film because he did not stay true to the video game. But the sequel was a much better improvement. 6/10 for Resident Evil. I can't go any higher than that.

Paul W.S. Anderson really screwed this movie franchise up. Anyway the original is the "watchable" one of them all. The later entries is so downright sloppy and slapped together. If your going this route for a zombie flick like the old saying goes.., stick to the originals.
