"Resident Evil" is a horror/action movie based on the popular video game series of the same title.
In the beginning of the movie, we are shown a top-secret lab facility. Someone has just stolen an experimental virus...but not before releasing a sample into the lab. Knowing the threat it represents, the computer system that monitors the lab locks it down and kills everyone inside. We then meet Alice...a young woman in a large mansion. The only problem is...Alice can't remember who she is or why she is there. Or why there are automatic weapons in her underwear drawer. When a mysterious stranger and a special forces unit show up...they take Alice with them into the Hive...but who will make it out alive?
Movies based on video games seem to run in the same circle as movies based on comic books. They are either spectacular (such as Mortal Kombat) or absolutely dreadful (Bloodrayne). Thankfully, "Resident Evil" ranks closer to spectacular. The action sequences are incredible and hard-hitting. One of the most entertaining parts of the movie is watching as Alice slowly remembers who she is...and more importantly, what she is. Her returning memory also gradually fills in holes in the plot...just at opportune moments, usually.
Loads of fun to watch and an entertaining entry of the horror/action genre..."Resident Evil" is a good play.
