A Good Game Adaptation
One of the first video games I ever played on my PS1 was Resident Evil 2. It truly was a terrifying game, also the first time I ever saw an extreme amount of violence. When I first saw the trailer for this film, I expected blood,guts and gore, but instead I got a clean adaptation.
The film is about The Umbrella Coorporation, and how a virus breaks out inside.The Hive (Unbrella Headquarters), is located under Alice's (Milla Jovovich) beautiful house. When she wakes up with no memory how she is or where shes at, a SWAT team breaks through her windows and grabs her. The team including Rain Ocampo (Michelle Rodriquez), opens a door and leads Alice down a dark staircase and shows her whats hiding beneath her house. But they soon find out that everybody that dissapeared down in The Hive, is still alive, just not fully. They find out that they are facing zombies and a big ass mutant. Now they only have 2 hours too get out of the Hive alive.
Milla Jovovich does a great job relating to Alice from the video game. She kind of has these ways of changing her personality and making it look very natural. Michelle Rodriquez (The Fast and The Furious) also puts on a very good performance through what happens to her.
The videogames were very violent. They were considered the start of the blood games. The movie of RE is actually very dry. We get blood from some bullet hits and not really anything else. It is very dissapointing that Paul Anderson destroyed the franchise in an hour and a half of film on a big screen.
The plot of the movie relates very little to the game. If your going to make an adaptation from someting, dont you think you would keep the original plot somewhere in the running length.
Bottom Line, its a good film that fails mainly because of the director and writers.
