Product Description: Something rotten is brewing beneath the industrial mecca known as Raccoon City.

To contain the leak the governing supercomputer Red Queen has sealed all entrances and exits. Now a team of highly-trained super commandos including Rain (Michelle Rodriguez - The Fast and the Furious Girlfight) Alice (MillaJovovich - The Fifth Element) and Matt (Eric Mabius - Cruel Intentions) must race to penetrate The Hive in order to isolate the T-virus before it overwhelms humanity. To do so they must get past theRed Queen's deadly defenses face the flesh-eating undead employees fight killer mutant dogs and battle The Licker a genetically mutated savage beast whose strength increases with each of its slainvictims.System Requirements:Run Time: 100 Mins.Format: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: HORROR/MONSTERS & MUTANTS Rating: R UPC: 043396212275 Manufacturer No: 21227
Amazon.com: Marilyn Manson worked on the soundtrack, so it's no surprise that Resident Evil is best enjoyed by headbangers, goth guys, and PlayStation junkies. Like the interactive game it's based on, this horror hybrid pits a small band of SWAT-like commandos (including Milla Jovovich and Girlfight's Michelle Rodriguez) against a ravenous hoard of zombies, resulting in a gorefest that only sociopaths could love. The tenacious heroes are trapped inside the Hive--an underground complex where an evil corporation conducts illegal research with a deadly virus--and the zombies (reanimated corpses of sacrificed employees) are fodder for endless rounds of gunfire. It's utter nonsense (not unlike director Paul W.S. Anderson's previous Event Horizon), so your best defense is to wallow in it or avoid this trash altogether. A few cool sequences are borrowed from better films (that slice-and-dice laser is cribbed from the 1998 Canadian shocker Cube), but if you're in the mood for heavy-metal carnage, this movie's for you. --Jeff Shannon

Rating: - finally a decent video game to movie adaption
While the movie is loosley based on the resident evil games it still manages to stay true to its the games roots. just the simple things like the underground research facility, raccoon city, the arklay mountains and even the licker from the games will have the fans saying oh yeah i remember those. Im keepin this review short so for those of you who have no idea about the games, heres the pros and cons. pros: plenty of people getting killed here so this film will satisfy your barbaric needs, offers other neat sequences of action other than killing zombies, and the main monster is very well planned out. cons: the loud headbanging music really doesnt go with the resident evil genra, milla jovovichs red dress really is out of place here, the characters all have paper thin individuality. Its a good movie, just a few misteaks made but definatley worth watching.
Rating: - T is for Virus
This movie is based on a horror/survival videogame by Capcom. Now I got that out of the way, Resident Evil is a pretty good zombie movie, successfully adapted from the game by Paul W.S. Anderson. This film is everything House of the Dead wanted to be but couldn't. The zombies move at a decent pace as does the movie and there are plenty of "BOO!" moments, but nothing too scary. Gorehounds will be happy and Zombaholics will have fun playing guess the reference, such as the elevator scene which recalls the original Dawn of the Dead. The acting is good as far as zombie movies go and the cinematography is great. A must have for any zombie fan.
Rating: - A ZOMBIE FILM WITH A GREAT STORY AND GREAT ACTION 9.5 OUT OF 10
Resident Evil brought zombie horror back from the dead, and it did so in a superbly crafted fashion. This is the best zombie film when it comes to story and it puts all zombie films to shame in comparison. It is a definite must-watch for any zombie fans and it will surely put many of your zombie favorites to shame when you watch it.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT: In an underground lab facility called The Hive; which is owned by the Umbrella Corporation; an outbreak of the Umbrella-developed T-Virus has escaped into the air-conditioning system. So the AI security system known as the Red Queen, seals The Hive, and kills everyone underground to prevent the virus from escaping; trapping them in elevators, filling lab rooms full of water, and spewing a gas that removes all of the oxygen in the air. When the report is received an Umbrella unit of soldiers are sent to retrieve the security people from the Spencer Mansion; Alice a hot, young woman, who wakes up naked in the shower after a nerve gas was released into the mansion knocking her out and making her lose her memory, Spence, a guy who wakes up inside the train that takes the Umbrella team to The Hive and also has lost his memory, and Matt, an environmentalist disguised as a cop in order to retrieve samples of the T-Virus from The Hive in order to expose the Umbrella Corporation's illegal genetic experimentation and find his sister who works in The Hive. So the group goes into the basement of the mansion, and takes the train that is stored in the basement, ... Read More
