Dark Light
Resident Evil

Something rotten is brewing beneath the industrial mecca known as Raccoon City. Unknown to its millions of residents a huge underground bioengineering facility known as The Hive has accidentally unleashed the deadly and mutating T-virus killing all of its employees. 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: 21227Marilyn 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

    It seems that a video/turn movie is in our midists….
    I love the resident evil seris yet for this movie i believe it will be a bomb at the box office…that it will recieve negative reviews….oh it might do well for 1 or 2 weeks…..the story does not even take place in ratcoon city…nore is jill valetine and the original team in here exept wesher…they are in a huge biologiocal reserve against a computer and a maze with a licker maling zombies and getting its power that way …I think this will bomb negatively like tomb raider,street fighter,andmario brothers…dont forget final fantasy the spirits within…i only hope i am wrong..oh dont forget the ending which will lead to a hoorible sequal if i thought right

    Oh man, I don’t even know where to start with this review.
    First of, I should say, that Resident Evil is another botched attempt by a movie company (Screen Gems) to bring
    another game title to the bring screen.
    All movies based on game titles have sucked :Final Fantasy,
    Mortal Kombat are just 2 examples. In fact, the same idiotic director who made those terrible Mortal Kombat movies directed this piece of junk!!!

    Once I knew that, I knew the movie was going to suck.
    I just didn’t how much it would suck, until I saw it.
    After seeing it, I have to say that Capcom did probably the most stupidest thing they could have done, by giving the rights for this movie to be made.

    Furthermore, Capcom, obviously didn’t care, how the director was going to follow the game, because if they had, they would have seen that the film does horrible injustice to the game.
    It does not follow up the story and plot to the games.
    In fact, none of the characters from the game: Chris Redfield, Claire Redfill, Jill, or Leon, the policeman are in the film.
    To understand why Resident Evil is a pitiful attempt
    to bring the game to the screen, you have to know the
    story in Resident Evil games.

    An evil corporation called Umbrella, has unwilligenly
    or willingly (depending on who you ask) has unleashed
    a virus called the “T virus”. The T virus has the effect, of killing people and then making them zombies.

    Even more scary is the fact, that the Umbrella knows
    about the situation but is covering it up. Only a handful of corrupt politicians and Umbrella personnel know about the virus. In the first RE game, a team of special police officers, trace the roots of the virus to a mansion, harboring all sorts of monsters. In fact, “the scene of the mansion” is in the movie, but that’s one of a few similiarities between the game and the movie. Eventually the last survivors of the mansion Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine escape only to be separated . (…)

    Birkin is himself infected, by a more powerful virus,
    and is mutated to another horrible beast. Eventually all the survivors escape, and thus stop the Umbrella corporation from doing more damage to Racoon City.

    That’s basically the Re games. Sounds cool,doesn’t it?

    The Crappy, Sucky Movie version of Resident Evil

    The movie starts out in the Umbrella Corporation.
    Everthing is calm and cool, until an employee drops a
    chemical container containing the T virus into the
    floor. Then all hell breaks loose, because it seems that
    Umbrella’s computer known as the Red Queen, has isolated and
    captured all of Umbrella’s employees and plans to kill them.
    In fact, some of the death scene in Re are actually
    pretty good, but most of them are not. So eventually most of the people in Umbrella die, due to this supercomputer. LOL.
    This is garbage that is made up. In the Re games,
    there is no “Red Queen” that is causing the killing in
    Racoon City, and in Umbrella. The killing is brought
    upon by the heads of Umbrella, and corrupt politicians, who have knowingly released the virus and are trying to cover
    it up. Instead, we get Milla Jolladovich, playing some drugged out,security officer named Alice Prospero.
    Then comes the ridiculous plot of the movie, which is that
    most of the damage inflicted on the personnel of Umbrella,
    is by a computer called “The Red Queen” which
    unleashes a set of death traps, to anyone infected with
    the “T virus”.

    Practically the only part of the game that the movie
    stays true to is in fact that Umbrella has created a virus called the “T virus” which it plans to use for germ warfare.
    However, that’s how close you’ll come to similiarities once again between the game and the movie.

    Eventually Ms. Prospero is rescued, (technically she
    is put in the custody) of a group of special police cops ,
    to infiltrate Umbrella and find out what the hell is going on.

    Adding more confusion (and laughter) to the situation
    is that Ms. Prospero has amnesia and doesn’t understand her connection to Umbrella. Well it’s revealed that Ms. Prospero was working with someone in Umbrella, to expose to the media the virus that Umbrella was creating.

    However, that person died, along with the evidence that
    Umbrella is responsible for the chaos in Racoon City and
    Umbrella.

    Eventually these bumbling cops eventually meet a holographic
    image of the Red Queen who says “I’ve been a very bad girl”.

    LOL. Yeah and I would have added “I’ve been a bad actress
    to be in this film too”.

    Eventually the remaining cops become aware of the zombies and other monsters and try to escape from Umbrella headquarters….

    Besides the terrible acting, script and story in Resident Evil, there is also a lack of creatures from the games.

    The zombies , zombie dogs, and lickers are in R.E. but
    here is a whole of creatures and monsters not in the movie:

    Giant, poisonous spiders, killer sharks, 2 arm ferocious hunters, large killer poisonous plants and the over 6ft tall indestructible Tyrants in the game. A waste of a golden opportunity to make a good movie.

    Let’s all hope this isn’t another failed video game turned movie.
    I was already driven away by Tomb Raider, Super Mario, and Street Fighter (ugh that was painful to watch).

    If the filmakers decided to enlist help from people who are familiar with the series, it could be good. If not, maybe there will a special…

    If the movie stinks, then the soundtrack won’t. After all, they did get new tracks from Slipknot and Static X.

    Either way, let’s pray this won’t stink. And let’s pray it makes more money than E.T. when it comes out that same week.

    ….well not the worst, but I thought this film was extremely over rated by many people. I’ve noticed, people who like this movie are not fans of ZOmbi movies or this is probably one of the first zombi films they have seen. If you love zombi films dont watch this piece -o- junk. If you want a good zombi film try night of the living dead(the original),Dawn of the dead(the original, Zombi, Dead next door, or any low budget gory disgusting Zombi film that blows this teeny bopper movie out of the water.
