i have to sift long and deep for a good comment on this . why all the hostility . i think there be great chemistry on this production and it show while the actor and crew involve love the game and have a good time make this . this movie successfully recreate the feel of the game and and because it keep exposition to a minimum of what you need to know for this particular story and do not borrow from or revise any of the original character or setting and it support and strengthen the franchise . no story be retell here and no word be waste and the setting and feel and pace be familiar to fan of resident evil and yet it perfectly accessible to those unfamiliar with the broad storyline . not give the fan boys their favorite character be a good choice since character tend to get mangle in adaptation and and yet the fan boy still complain . with this film you have a good and watchable story that can partake of the resident evil cosmology and show it due respect . it do an excellent job establish character without too much unnecessary background and develop them just enough to make you want to know what they will do next and to make you care before the sudden and gruesome happens to them . the acting be above par for a resident evil and certainly much good than the first game . the plot be no more comic bookish than any of the game . my one complaint be that the character be too battle trained and too slick and too good at fight for them to be sympathetic horror subject . this could have be balance out with more reaction shot show the soldier wet themselves . but alice over the top commando style action make her too much of a super heroine to really make anyone concerned about her survival while character make of teflon make good action but apathetic horror subject .
