hm well i already posted this in one resident evil movie thread that started in here but ill say again my review of the movie
first, i havent played any of the games (im solely an rpg player), so maybe i wouldnt have liked it had i played the games... but in any event
positive things:
-the soundtrack. electronic/industrial type music which fit very well with the movie... i loved it
-the sci fi aspect of it. i love sci fi, i love futuristic looking labs. i love crazy computer systems.
-"clean" gore. i hate axe wound type realistic looking gore.. a lot. i can handle it if its lets say, alien gore, monster gore, etc... but watching people get all fucked up is just gross to me. the best thing about this movie was the fact that all the gore was "clean".. they either didnt show it right when it happened (elevator scene, anyone?), or the gore they DID show was ... unusual so it was rad anyways. (tho they stole the laser scene from Cube).
-the zombies. i think they really did well on this, making them all unnaturally jerky and such.
the bad things:
-the acting. i didnt mind anyones acting except for the girl with the dark hair... it gets old seeing her eyes roll back in her head with every snide comment she makes
-the end. i dunno, i hate open ended shit, even if it is supposed to mirror a game and you arent supposed to have a resolution
all in all, i thought it was a GREAT movie.. rather mindless, yes, so dont see it and expect some huge complicated plot (tho i did like the plot anyways). the special effects were great, music was great, just a good movie.
