Resident Evil (2002)
(Resident Evil Genesis)
Country: GER/GB/FR
Technical: col 100m
Director: Paul Anderson
Cast: Milla Jovovich, Michelle Rodriguez, James Purefoy
Synopsis:
A top secret underground installation for the development of a killer virus is infiltrated by agents intent on stealing it and by police officers assigned to investigate a loss of contact with the scientists working below ground. The latter have meanwhile been the first victims of the virus and become transformed into flesh-eating zombies.
Review:
Nonsensical, but intriguingly plotted sci-fi thriller, the audience clued-in as to the prehistory in piecemeal fashion rather as in a board/video game. Which is apposite enough for that is precisely what it was before it became a film. Accordingly Miss Jovovich is superhumanly endowed with survival capabilities and the action takes place on several levels (physically speaking), between which the characters navigate with inexplicable ease only to be challenged by a fresh piece of the puzzle and a fresh horde of mutant dogs or ravenous zombies. The whole exercise is so replete with production values and movie references it becomes as overstretched as the heroine's wardrobe budget evidently was.
