I have never played the games - it just wasn´t my thing. I´m not much into that zombie theme but I think Resident Evil is, in the context of it´s timeframe, a well made action-horror-scifi movie.

Although not a "great movie", RE is still enjoyable if you are the type of person who can appreciate one and a half hours of horror-action without much depth!

IMO this movies is seriously overrated! First of all the acting - it is appalling and I'm not only talking about the stupid Zombies or the supporting actors, but the lead actors as well. All of them! My god this is bad. Next CGI: for a movie with a budget of 33$ Mio this is just sad. The actors couldn't have eaten all the budget so where did the money go to? Definately not into CGI. Most certainly not into the cardboard film set and filming locations... The story ... well, if you haven't played the games it might be alright to you but it really doesn't deserve the title of the games. Sorry but this movie is a joke, with maybe 5 min of decent scenes otherwise very unwatchable.

As far as i'm concerned the best one in the series. After this one and the whole [spoiler] "Alice going android mode"[/spoiler] the movies got a lot worse.

Resident Evil is more effective as action/mystery than it is at horror. Most of the scares are cheap jump scares emphasized by loud noises or fall completely flat. Not least because this film has aged terribly. We see "state of the art" technology featured prominently that just looks hilario More

This movies is so peculiarly interesting because it doesn’t actually feel like a movie at any given point, it feels like an extended episode for a long-forgotten early 2000s’ anthology TV show. Maybe it’s because of the acting, maybe it’s because of the editing or it’s the script and the d More

**While not a perfect movie, Resident Evil stands above many other entries in the zombie and video game genres.**

The first of a 6-movie series, Resident Evil stays grounded in its horror roots more than the rest. This movie takes every opportunity to keep the audience tense and on edge with zomb More

Great watch, will likely watch again, and do recommend.

I understand that zombies have been done to death by the time I wrote this, but I've always enjoyed them, and I understand that, as a movie franchise, "Resident Evil" is fairly laughed at, but the first movie was somewhat promising, even if More
