Resident Evil

Last night I watched “Resident Evil” before going to sleep. Personally I try not to watch movies like this before I go to sleep because I start hearing random noises. “Resident Evil” is zombies are taking over the world kind of movie. The movie takes place in this underground lab called the Hive. Secret experiments on genetic mutation are being done until a vial of a virus called the T-virus is released. The T-virus brings the dead back to life with only the urge to feed. The Hive is run by a company called Umbrella an when the Hive shuts down they send in a squad of commandos to go down and find out why the facility shut down. They end up fighting for their lives to escape the zombies. Out of the 8 people who went in only one makes it out unaffected by the virus. The one who makes it out name is Alice (played by Milla Jovovich) and through the movie she slowly regains her memories about what Umbrella was doing. In the end Alice along with a man named Max make out but as soon as they do Max begins to mutate. The movie ends with Alice and Max being forcefully separated and taken for experimentation that will not be fully seen until the next movie “Resident Evil: Apocalypse.” The movie was actually better than I thought. The main character Alice started out as this fragile woman then transforms into a zombie killing machine in a dress as she regains more pieces of her memory. One of the only draw backs was that from the beginning I figured that she was going to be most likely the only one to survive. In that aspect it reminded me of how many horror movies always have a girl survive at the end and all of her friends are dead.

*I give “Resident Evil” a 8 out of 10*
