View Full Version : Resident Evil

The Resident Evil computer game was based on George A Romero's Night of the Living Dead film. Now here's the film version of the game. Romero was given directorial duties first on this film and they didn't like his script so they sacked him. Pity as it would have been a great zombie film.

Instead they gave it to Paul "imbecile" Anderson (Soldier and Mortal Kombat fame) and he added a supercomputer to the film which is not part of the game. He changed the film around slightly leaving very little mystery to the plot and in essence removing any sort of atmosphere or tension. Instead he throws some cheap horror tricks which are totally expected. Another weak addition to his poor career record.

The sinister Umbrella Corporation is secretly developing biological weapons in an underground laboratory and there's a chemical leak trapping everyone inside. Milla Jovovich (The Fifth Element) awakes from a shower after being knocked out from the chemical leak. She's now suffering from amnesia and no help to the commando team infiltrating the compound. They eventually run into more trouble than they expected.

The zombies don't appear in it for ages and they're not much of a menace. I was looking forward to this film for ages and it's very disappointing. There's a giant computer generated licker which isn't in the slightest bit scary and a bad attempt at imitating the monster from The Relic. The film also lifts scenes from Cube and The Matrix. Also there's no giant spiders in this film, which is rather annoying.

Actually the ending is quite good, so hopefully Resident Evil 2: Nemesis will be an improvement. I don't mind the plot being changed from the computer game too much, but it's the soundtrack that is really irritating as it's terrible and drowns out the dialogue since it's so loud. Overall it's average nonsense, so if you've never seen The Andromeda Strain or played the computer game you should enjoy this.

Hmmm, well, I was going to steer well clear of this DVD but DVDSoon were selling it very cheap so I went and ordered it anyway.


We'll see if it goes straight to the Classifieds or not when I get to view it.

Agreed. Of all the computer games that have been made into films, Resident Evil is the one which should have worked best, given a decent script and a talented director. George A Romero, undoubtedly the greatest zombie film director of all time, was on board to do both duties at one point but was sadly ditched in favour of British hack Paul WS Anderson (Mortal Kombat, Event Horizon) who ironically drops in several homages to Romero.

The storyline is quite faithful to the games, particularly Resident Evil 2 with its underground laboratory, subway train and mutating "licker" monster. The Red Queen computer is new but is a reference to the chess-related puzzles in the games. Wisely, Anderson refrains from having the characters collect gems or try to move statues around but his clicheed action set pieces are totally inferior to the genuinely fear-inducing scenes in Capcom's games. He steals from The Matrix and Tomb Raider with reckless abandon and fails dismally to raise any thrills. Only a sequence involving defensive lasers generates any suspense and that's hardly original. James Bond was ducking them decades ago.

On the positive side, Milla Jovovich proves herself a kick-ass action heroine, although no one else in the cast is memorable and I'm getting seriously fed up with Michelle Rodriguez playing the same sneering Latino chick "with attitude" in every film she's in. She's not even convincing - Vasquez out of Aliens could kick her skinny ass without breaking a sweat.

The last 5 minutes is a shameless set-up for the sequel. Despite this film's less than spectacular grosses, Anderson is due to start work on Resident Evil 2 shortly. Do yourself a favour and play the games instead.

Expecting an arm chewingly bad movie, I decided to waste a couple of hours on my own seeing Resident Evil… not worth inflicting misery on girlfriend or friends when you can shoulder a dual console game/zombie movie burden on your own. In fact, my predilection for the Resident Evil games series meant that there was no way that I wasn’t going to see it. Hence, trapped by fate and my own innate sadness, I bought a jumbo Fanta and sat down…

And what do you know? It wasn’t half bad! It wasn’t particularly good either, but far from the shambling corpse I’d been expecting. Paul Anderson’s previous films, with the exception of the effective though derivative Event Horizon, have left me either cold or shaking my head in despondency. His direction here is functional: stylistically his only trick is cranking up the nu-metal to deafening levels every few minutes, but at least Anderson is cribbing from entertaining films when he sticks in bits of The Matrix, Aliens, Night of the Living Dead and Cube. When the pre-publicity for the movie cast the bad guy as a ‘homicidal super computer’, the fanboy alarm system started ringing. The point of the games was that however bad or unpleasant the zombies or monsters were, the corporation behind them, Umbrella, was always worse. Devoid of scruples or morals, the unseen power of corporate America was always the real evil, and I am pleased to report that this concept is at the fore in the movie.

Resident Evil also boasts some authentically shoddy video game acting from most of the cast (you know they are all going to die, but I bet the order will catch a few viewers out) The exceptions are Milla Jovovich, who here is never less than captivating, and Michelle Rodriguez, who is as solid as she was in her previous roles… mostly, to be fair, because she’s playing the same character. Good, but running out of replay value very quickly. Anderson also has the sense to throw everything into a triple-whammy ending which satiates the action-movie fan, the conspiracy fan, teases the people who have played the game (by dropping loads of plot points of the game and its numerous sequels), leaves you actually wanting to see more and makes you think that you have been watching a much more expensive movie than you actually have. Then bungs in some gratuitous semi-nudity for good measure. :D

The bad news is that the film constantly shies away from what could be a truly entertaining film by denying the audience that most pornographic of horror thrills – the money shot. Wherefore art thou, exploding zombie heads? Nasty bite wounds? Dissected corpses? It feels as if it has been edited down to get a teen friendly certificate, effectively castrating what could have been the best horror film of the year so far. One for game fans only, I feel.

Well, I got the official VCD from DTSRules last week and look forward to watching this soon.

I think most films based on video-games are generally slated, perhaps because they go away from the idea of the original game. Take Tomb Raider for instance, it's been ripped to shreds by many - but I thought it was a fairly enjoyable, throwaway popcorn flick on a DVD with a load of decent extras - I'll probably even keep it!

Rather than looking at it as a film based on a video-game, I just look at it as an action movie - forget it's based on anything else and enjoy it for what it is :)

I think commercials and pop videos would be more his speed. He obviously hasn't got the patience to structure a film, create characters or build suspense. Everything has to be noise and flashing lights from beginning to end. I imagine him sitting on a couch behind the camera eating nachos and going, "Huh huh huh, everything just blew up and you can see that chick's thingies. Cool! Huh huh huh."

This is one of the few movies that could of been identical to the game.

It should of started in the mansion, zombies in there, the lab should never have been shown until near the end!!

Nemesis doesnt come along until RE3 anyway, why is he in the 2nd one!!

Did Anderson not play the games :D

btw, i thought this film was awful

McMikey

as someone who's played the games for about an hour (personally I prefer silent hill) I wasn't expecting much when I saw this film and was nicely suprised. It was fairly entertaining and I'm not going to be bitter about it no being original even the laser scene has been derived from cube. I thought the ending was good and I'm suprised it's got the slating it did.

I'll admit I've not seen any Romero films yet so I can't see how good it could've been. As games to film go though I'd say this was up there with the best of them (not that any are that good mind:))

I saw this movie twice in the Cinema, yes the discussions can go on, it could of been better, but what we got, I really enjoyed this film, and best video game film yet, and expect Resident Evil 2 Nemesis to be even better. Romero is good, but don't let it get in your way for watching the film for whats there, I found it very enjoyable. Some like Paul Anderson films, some don't, but expectations play a big part in some video games, I think Paul Anderson did a good job.

The second time I went to watch Resident Evil, I took my brother, because he thought the film like some would not be good, so I wanted to force him to watch it, and he was surprised that it was good, and it goes for quite alot of film fans remarking on this film, that they expected little, and got something good or better, now Resident Evil has to be doing some things right to do that to film fans.

I enjoyed this film. It felt like a John Carpenter film from the early eighties in tone.

Have to disagree with all the game fan boys who say that they should have filmed it exactly the same ... err, what would be the point of that? The film is the film, and the game is the game. Why try to make one be more like the other?

I also can't see the point of the argument regarding more gore. Any moron can stuff a film with shots of exploding heads and assorted viscera. Anderson creates a nice tense atmosphere with just the right amount of horror-violence .

Perhaps I enjoyed it more because I didn't have all the baggage of the game playing (apart from the odd moment, I find the games monotonous and poorly designed).

Roll on the sequel. :smokin:

Really good, solid film. I ...uh... acquired it a couple of months back and really enjoyed it. I then went to see it at the cinema last week and enjoyed it even more. I'm currently trying to find out more about what was cut from the theatrical version. Hopefully they'll release a director's cut DVD at some point...

Morpheus2000
22-07-2002, 14:24
The film based on the game changed the plot, but I don't mind that at all. But in changing the plot removed any sort of atmosphere or tension

Also a Zombie film should have some exploding heads, but he made in such a way that it's only a 15 Cert film.

Remember this is supposed to be a zombie film, with other various monsters and giant spiders with plenty of creepy tension. Instead Anderson went for a flashy approach and made a stupid film.

Finally during the scene where Jovovich is shooting the dogs the viewer is presented with a Matrix rip-off, bullets falling to the ground. Why? We want to the see the dogs blown to bits?

It's a decent DVD. The commentary is one of the most hilarious I've ever heard. Anderson responds to some of the criticism, pointing out what he's ripped off from other films, and as to the Matrix rip-off, responds that The Matrix is just a rip-off of Ghost in the Shell anyway. Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez are very funny, to the extent of talking complete crap 90% of the time. In fact, I get the impression they were stoned or at least drunk. I haven't had a chance to look at all the extras, but the trailer is as good quality at the movie, and there is an interesting featurette on the music, which features stuff from composers Marco Beltrami and that freak of nature Marylin Manson.

I watched this last night. I bought this DVD blind, I did not know what it was about until I read the DVD cover. I have to agree with The Beyond on this one.

Ok some the acting is not the best, but for a film of this type I was not expecting Oscar winning perfomances. I also thought Milla Jovovich was excellent, she seems to get better in each film I see her in.

I really enjoyed it in a old fashion Eighties kind away, films like Escape from NY ( Directed by John Carpenter ) spring to mind. Excellent Pop-corn movie

There's an interview with Anderson on www.dvdfile.com that the states that the theatrical (and I guess therefore DVD) version was his final cut. This contradicts IMDB's alternate version info and I got the impression from previous interviews that the 2 disc edition due was the 'director's cut'. Very strange .... :confused:

Well, time for me to eat humble pie! I watched RE in the US in March and spread my disgust of it on here. Last week, I made some friends see the attrocious Jason X. They paid good money to see this travesty, and I felt so bad that I said I would buy RE for them to watch to try and make up for it. One of them wanted to see RE, but I said I wouldn't waste my money on it. So I wasn't looking forward to seeing RE again, but for some perverse reason I thoroughly enjoyed something I hated 5 months ago. Maybe when I saw it in the cinema I was expecting too much or was not in the mood for that type of film - I really don't know!

I saw this a few nights ago and have to repeat what has been said so far - it isn't great, lacks any real tension and steals wholesale all of its standout moments - but I also found it quite enjoyable in a Deep Blue Sea kind of way. I would have preferred it to have been closer in atmosphere to the game with a few more of the wierder mutations on display - but of course that all costs money which I suspect wasn't in great supply.

The one thing that really made me cringe was the shameless use of one of the Exorcist's most chilling lines of dialogue - but it had nothing like the the same effect and came off as embarrassing and unintensionally funny.

I also think this could be a new "guilty pleasure"!

Chalk me up as one who went in not expecting much, but thoroughly enjoyed it, particularly that ending shot.

Could definitely have done with some more gore though - some of it looked heavily cut to me - although the sequence in the laser room was very exciting and well done.

I think some of the actors were a bit too young too for their parts, particularly Michelle Rodriguez.

And finally - Mr. Anderson - where were all the zombie head-shots, dude??? :confused: You make a zombie film, you simply gotta have some classy A-Grade splattery headshots!

I've just seen it, and I'm guessing the reason I quite liked it was down to me expecting nothing more than boring turd material.

Much like Ghosts Of Mars, the film was very effective at times, awful at others, but on the whole, enjoyable stuff.

I saw it twice in the cinema and really enjoyed it... When I watched it again recently, on DVD, i felt it lost a lot of it's impact and the flaws started showing through...

It's too tame, it's not scary or tense and the editing removes any real impact from the action scenes.

It's really not the film that Anderson was talking up before it's release - but from previous threads on this forum I know the man changes his tune at the drop of a hat...

From Play Magazine... (Before the movie was released)

There's gallons of blood in the movie because it stays true to the videogame; undead, zombie dogs, people getting decapitated, stacks of people die... It'll definately be an 18 in Britain and an R in America. We wanted to put all that was good about the game into the movie so it has to be an R-rated movie.

Yeah, it's all in there... But you don't see any of it!

Long time since this was first reviewed -
most of the movie was together - but as
has been said before it's the lack of money shots
that lets it down. Let's take the lift scene - I could
even improve it - one bottle of Ketchup, a bit
of splat acrss the camera lens and the movie would
still have been a 15.
I actually waited a few months after the DVD
release for the "18" full gore release - but no.

A great chance missed.

I consider myself a devotee of turd-cinema, but even I couldn't make it past 50 minutes.

Looks like it was made by a film student - only redeeming feature is a side-breast shot of the heroine after 6 minutes - should have switched off then as that's the highlight so far.

Seriously if you think 1 is bad you're in for a world of pain if you watch 2.

I thought 3 was a reasonable effort in a straight to C5 kinda way, but that was probably because standards had been so severely reduced by then.


Aside from Plane Dead and DOTD remake are there any good modern zombie flicks?

At least the first one has Nine Inch Nails on the soundtrack (and the dog fight it accompanies isn't too bad). It's not completely awful, but it's lame in pretty much every department.

The following two are just bogosities: anyone who's played Resident Evil III and **** themselves every time a nemesis turned up and muttered "STARS!" will be shaking their head in disbelief at the clown-shoed idiot who passes for said monster in the second film.

Does the same guy who played the guy who becomes Nemesis (if you catch my drift?) play him in the 2nd movie?

It's weird, but despite what I've been saying, I have a crushing desire to watch it again for some reason. It has everything I want in a 'popcorn' flick, but just didn't touch me. Maybe I was in the wrong mood.

Is there an unrated cut out by the way? Seems to be cut in certain parts - certainly tamer than I expected.

Agree. It's a crap film.

Only two scenes have any value for me:

1 The Green Laser Room

2 Near the end when the heroine falls off the table :n0rty:

Nope the guy who plays Nemisis in part 2 is about 8 foot tall :D he is a Big stunt guy as the suit weighs about a tonne :D


and as for an Unrated version, sadly not. Just lots of stuff was cut out, but none of its hardcore or anything like that. Depending on which dvd you got of the film it may have them as deleted/extended scenes, but there about 50 dvds of the film out there! its rather popular, even if many hate it.

I only have the Blu Ray - looks pretty feature packed. Cheers anyway.

I don't *hate* it - it just passed me by without leaving an impression. Though I now realise it has crept up on me as I'm still interested enough to be posting about it on here :nuts:

I have another drunken night coming up wednesday, so will try again when I get back from the pub then - can't face it sober :lol:
