One of the most successful movies based on game, it's Resident Evil, if not the best. What saves it...and makes it one of the better video-game-based flicks, is that the film acknowledges upfront that the plot makes no sense, such that the lack of linearity is the point of emotional and moral departure for protagonist Alice.

On it's own terms, Resident Evil updates the zombie genre with an ant- corporate message while still scaring it's audience and providing heart-pounding action. Some people thought RE games are more involving than the movies,well, it does, but this movie capture some thrills and action to great a movie for it's own, even if not this film partialy related to the game, and at least, the movie show some places and towns that been stated in the game such as : Raccoon city and Umbrella corporation.

I admit that movies based on video games are shallow, obvious and one-dimensional, but this one has a twist and engaging story, that's keep you hooked up till' the end of it.Eventually, Resident Evil may be brain dead but it's great popcorn entertainment nonetheless.
