It is the adventure of a woman (Jovovich) who awakens from
a dream and finds herself wondering who she is and, more importantly,
where she is?
Basically she and a group of commandos have found themselves
in a contaminated laboratory complex where all sorts of nasty
goings-on have been going on.
An ultra deadly virus has been released and the underground
building has been sealed off by an all-knowing computer called
Red Queen.
It is up to our gal and her buddies to take down the computer,
get out of the building and one other thing. They have to
keep away from the former scientists because they have all
turned into flesh-rending zombies!
Hey, it was fun as a game!
Resident Evil is a fun bit of relaxation in an action-horror-thriller
sort of way and it has some wonderful special effects in it.
The scene where the laser booby traps are set off is not only
exciting, but dead-set erky perky. I want some in my kitchen
to slice meat.
Jovovich is very believable as the all-action gal and her
back-ups include Michelle Rodriguez, James Purefoy, Eric Mabius,
Martin Crewes and Colin Salmon.
The transfer is excellent, so is the energetic sound and
music, and there is a nice package of extras to go with it
all.
Film buffs won't expect much - and may quite enjoy it. Mind
you, gamers will get right into Resident Evil and may find
themselves wishing to help the group ... even this fellow
kept reaching out for a controller to join in the fun and
get them through the really sticky moments.
Conclusion: 80% Extras: 60%.
