Resident Evil


This movie is basically about an elite group people sent to investigate a strange insident which ocurred in the Hive, a facility far beneath Racoon City, controlled by the Umbrella corporation. The artificial A.I. in control of the Hive, a.k.a. The Red Queen, is reported to have gone homicidal and the group is sent to the Hive to initiate a reset of The Red Queen. This has some severe ramifications and the group end up having to fight for their lives within the Hive in a desperate attempt to escape.
Well the story is pretty fun. Starts off with someone stealing a highly deadly virus and releasing it into the atmosphere. This virus makes cells regenerate at an increadible rate and oh it turns everyone into zombies when they die.... isn't that fun. So basically the group ends up having to fight for their lives against zombies in a race against time as they try to escape to the surface.
Well the effects in the movie are pretty fun and it really is enjoyable to watch. The music is nothing really memorable seeing I don't even remember a single song but that might just be my bad memory. The characters are really fun though and it's interesting to see how Alice, the main character, suffers from amnesia at the beginning and her past is revealed to us throughout the movie.
What I didn't like about this movie is that there are alot of scenes where a larg part of the screen goes dark and then the audience is supposed to be frightened when something pops in all of a sudden. Too much of it and not really what makes movies for me.
Good parts of the movie ?? Zombies Zombies and more Zombies... I mean who doesn't like zombies? Well the choreography for the fighting scenes is really fun at parts and you got Alice jumping of walls and acting like a tough guy for most of the movie... Girls acting tough and then killing zombies...top that. Also the side characters are really fun and interesting at times and that adds alot to the movie.
