Resident Evil

---

“A special military unit fights a powerful, out-of-control supercomputer and hundreds of scientists who have mutated into flesh-eating creatures after a laboratory accident.”

In all honesty, I don’t think I’ve ever played this video game. But that lent to having a fresh look at the movie with no previous bias.

There are two key elements here that really bring this movie to its full potential. The first is the phenomenal cast of actors. The second is the hauntingly eerie and yet pumped up soundtrack that we can thank Marilyn Manson for. Love or hate him, he knows what works.

Giving our protagonist, Alice, Amnesia allows the story to unfold with more explanation that can be justified rather than spewed out in some montage.

And fresh out of the first “Fast and the Furious” movie, we have Michelle Rodriguez playing yet again another badass showing the boys that the girls can play, too.

SPOILERS FROM HERE

I am not doing to lie. the first time I saw this movie, it fucked me up. Not the zombies themselves but the whole “secret underground viral weapons manufacturing” part. Because while I’m a law abiding citizen, I’m not so naive to think they could never make something like the T-virus.

It also touches base with the artificial intelligence. Although it’s only now been making the national news, Resident Evil posed the question of what AI was really capable of.

That’s why this movie scared me. Real life possibilities.
