An ultra-gory video game-to-movie disappointment.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 28, 2010

Despite a promising setup, pic never really goes anywhere, instead immersing viewers in a kinetic onslaught of flesh (namely, that of Milla Jovovich) and flesh-eaters (most of the rest of the cast).

Hats off, however, to the production team for the set designs and one very imaginative death-by-laser sequence. The rest is a derivative, tedious mess.

Game fans will be disappointed. Zombie fans will be disappointed. Paul Anderson's fan will be disappointed.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 30, 2003

On its own terms, Resident Evil updates the zombie genre with an anti-corporate message while still scaring its audience and providing heart-pounding action.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 20, 2002

Anderson ... has enough sense not to let the pace flag for a second, filling the screen with ravenous flesh-eaters, explosions and special effects.

It's completely pointless.

Is this the future of horror or just some bizarre fluke? Don't ask me, I'm having too much fun to care.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 17, 2002

Devolves into the derivative, leaning on badly-rendered CGI effects.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 17, 2002

An already thin story boils down to surviving invaders seeking an existent anti-virus. If only there were one for this kind of movie.

It all looks and plays like a $40 million version of a game you're more likely to enjoy on a computer.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5 | Mar 15, 2002

A derivative collection of horror and sci-fi cliches.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 15, 2002

The best video-game-based movie so far.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 15, 2002

The action in Resident Evil is like watching demons from the repressed unconscious break loose and attack the ego.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 15, 2002

A fresh hybrid of zombie horror, high-tech sci-fi and butt-kicking thrill ride.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Mar 15, 2002

Began life as a computer game, then morphed into a movie -- a bad one, of course.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 15, 2002

The movie is Dawn of the Dead crossed with John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars, with zombies not as ghoulish as the first and trains not as big as the second.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 15, 2002
