I never played the Resident Evil games, but if they're anything like the movie I wanna go out and get it ASAP. The Umbrella Corporation is ruling the world, and some people think there's more than meets the eye when it comes to the company. Some feel that there's some scientific unlawful experimentations occuring, but no one could prove it. Within the Umbrella Corporation is the Hive, an underground complex where the workers work and live. They've designed a virus that could wipe out the world, and of course it gets loose. The AI Intelligence of the Hive, known as the Red Queen (Michaela Dicker) decides it is too dangerous for it to get to the surface, so she kills everyone inside the hive. Meanwhile, Alice (Milla Jovovich) finds herself in a house without any knowledge of who she is or where she is. She is in the house with Matt (Eric Mabius) and Spence (James Purefoy), whom it appears she's married to. Both Alice and Spence have no idea what's going on, when a SWAT team enters the mansion, including no-holds-barred Rain (Michelle Rodriguez), the humerous J.D. (Pasquale Aleardi) and computer geek Kaplan (Martin Crewes). They head into the Hive to dismantle the Red Queen, and along the way they realize that those that died aren't gone, they've been turned into zombies due to the virus that was released. So like any horror-type movie with a bunch of people, you know that most of them will die along the way, and Resident Evil is no exception. They even followed the tried and true rules of a zombie movie - the zombies have no intelligence, they have limited motor skills, and when you're bitten by one, you become one. But this movie has something different in a CGI-based monster that Umbrella Corporation has been working on which also gets loose. As Alice and the others try to escape, she starts to remember more about her past, and who Spence is. An interesting back-story that gives the characters a more than one dimensional feel, which is refreshing. Not bad action, not bad acting, not bad altogether. Rain: All the people that were working here are dead. Spence: Well, that isn't stopping them from walking around.
