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 occasionallly atmospheric but derivative zombie movie set in the depths of a secret establishment. The heroine walks around in 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 problem in 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 superior in every way.
ZOMBIES!!!! - By: Yellow-Sn0W, 30 Oct 2008 
Guns, Girls, Zombies... GIVE ME MORE!!
Absolutely awesome, fans of resident evil & zombies alike should flock in 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 engaging in that it was futuristic, & had some cool effects (although over computerized). I am rating it 3 stars, for the story & overalll acting/movie. The PQ & AQ were above average, but not demo, with the picture a bit soft in parts. If you're a fan of the genre, give it a rent.
best of the worst - By: godzilla78, 18 Sep 2008 
The trilogy is crap & as bad as this film is, it's the best of the bunch. I still wouldn't advise anyone to watch this as it is cliche ridden & fails to capitalize on great source material from the game itself. And why did someone think that covering dogs in tomato sauce would look remotely scary. Dumb & very stupid & i usuallly like this kind of thing! Please make this rubbish stop. Acting - wooden, story - unoriginal...what more is there to say? RUBBISH
