watched Resident Evil today and it made me realise how much I loved both the series of games and this film when I first saw it.
As far as films go, I think this is often catagorised and slated with other typical zombie films(Being a fan of zombie films as a whole, I generally pick out differences etc, but not everyone does this obviously). The story has you on the edge of your seat througout even if you've seen it before, it gets straight to the point.
The director (Paul Anderson) builds up an unbelievable amount of suspense even in the beginning. The scene in the lift where a woman decides to try to escape but comes to her untimely (and grisly) end for example. This continues throughout.
Milla Jovovich does a brilliant job of playing Alice and I can't think of anyone who could have done a better job. Michelle Rodriguez is also fairly good, but I have to admit, her onscreen persona irritates me (in all the films she stars in she plays over the top tough woman characters).
One of my main concerns, admittedly, is that the film is shamelessly hollywood in parts. The overdone CGI and shiny production is very noticable.
It appeals to people who like escapism etertainment, but I like it because of my attachment to the video games and would recomend it to people who enjoy a bit of action.
