Having never played the game I can't comment on the connection, although I guess that the "feel" is spot on. In fact the best bit of the film is the very beginning, the prologue showing the complex spiralling out of control with death and destruction as a result the feeling of helplessness and despair is overpowering and hard-hitting personally I connected this with the real-life reactions of victims of disasters such as the World Trade Center bombing and thus found it very powerful stuff.įrom then on the tired formula follows a bunch of marines infiltrating a spookily deserted base (more than a few nods to ALIENS here) and finding themselves picked off one by one by a number of menaces: genetic mutations, the living dead, a malevolent super computer, and skinless dogs. Every cliché in the book is present here, from the actions of the zombies to the situations our characters find themselves in and the finale, amongst other things. This is an almost plot less action epic with a few zombies and monsters thrown in as an afterthought a well-executed exercise in suspense, fear, and frights which goes through the motions without ever being engaging. Reviewed by Leofwine_draca 4 / 10 Not altogether bad video game adaptation, but it could have been betterįilms based on computer games have long been the bane of modern cinema and RESIDENT EVIL does little to change the pattern they have fallen into over the years.
Alice must also come to terms with her slowly-returning memories. The military team must shut down the computer and get out, fighting their way past zombies, mutants, and the computer itself, before the virus escapes and infects the rest of the world. The parent corporation sends in an elite military unit, where they meet Alice, who is suffering from amnesia due to exposure to nerve gas. The complex computer shuts down the base to prevent infection. A virus has escaped in a secret facility called "The Hive," turning the staff into hungry zombies and releasing the mutated Lab "Animals" that they were studying.
