I hadn't plan on reviewing this film since I havent watched it in over a year... but after reading my fellow reviewers responses, I decided I needed to do the film justice. Now the film was actually done rather well... and as for some people who would catagorize this film in the "b" section of budget and production, they would be sadly mistaken. The movie wasnt supposed to follow the game... it was mearly based on the existing format layed out by Capcom. The movie did well enought to provide 3 sequels to date. (RE: Apocolypse, RE: Extinction. and RE: Degeneration). I just felt like I needed to do this film justice. Thanks for reading!
I think this movie is excellent for children in the sense that, yes, some of the scenes are gory and violent, but it has an excellent style and presentation that lends itself to a wonderful film. This film portrays exactly what we should expect in our nation (the U.S) today. With all the lies and corruption we have floating about, I think kids need to know that we may not be far from something similar to this bio-warfare from happening. It's an eye opener to the things that could be to come.
The movie is a horror-action-thriller that can be pretty shocking at points but OK for pre-teens because it is so unrealistic in the matter of the undead and blood, the movie will most likely appeal to your teen because
of the story line.
p.s.
the movies only downfall is the language and peril.
Resident evil just blew my mind my favrie part is the lasers.Alice nis hot. but thats not my point red qween is an homisidel b**ch.If you haven't seen it see it now!If you have seen it and you didn't like you suck the action is kick ass the zombie effects are cool my rel point is if you hav e not seen this movie go see or you'll miss out on a relly awesome movie look f or my next review on resident evil apcolyse
Not only was this the best zombie movie ever made, it was also the best video game related movie ever made. This is deffinately a must see for everyone. It has some violence, little language, and NO NUDITY. I know that the rating says it does but it does not. So if NUDITY or LANGUAGE is a issue in your family this movie is a clean action packed movie
Resident Evil is possibly the most disappointing film I have seen of late. That is saying something because if it didnt have any promise, I wouldnt feel disappointed. The movie starts off with a rather clunky beggining sequence, where the T-Virus rips through the underground facility the "Hive". Soon after a team of elite S.W.A.T-like operatives storm in, and head down to the Hive with 3 others. The movie takes a bad turn around the 30 minute mark, by
killing off over half the team in a 1 minute(admittedly one of the coolest sequences in the movie, but done with poor timing) sequence. By doing this they eliminate some of the best actors before they can have a chance to shine, thereby excusing the director from having to think of a decent storyline. The rest of the movie from there on out is rather lame(very few battles with zombies), with many disjointed scenes, and loses steam up until the last 10 minutes or so. On the positive note the soundtrack fits this movie perfectly, although it isnt used in either of its sequels. This movie could have been so much better, its really sad. Possibly the most underused actor in the whole movie is Martin Crewes, who does an excellent job as techy Kaplan, but is
tragicly denied the material I and im sure many others know he can handle. Hope you all liked this review.
Yes we all know that the movie didnt follow the game to a point. They did have a mansion and the Umbrella Corporation along with the whole hush hush on the facility. And yes, we all know the movie had flaws. But honestly, they werent big ones...the budget they had to work with was pethedic so they had to deal with what they had. The characters and the plot was pretty well done though along with the enviorment of the set. Milla and Michelle were great together in the movie and put on a kick-ass preformance. All in all, if you take out that it was a video game (and amazing on at that) and a book that the movie didnt follow at all, it was a pretty good movie.
