As a horror movie, average. Better then a lot of crap Hollywood puts out and calls horror, but this movie didn\'t scare me one bit. Second, charecter development. A few of the charecters needed better charecter development IMO, like the main charecters. And yes, that "gay" kick where Mila kicks the dog. Looked dumb in the previews, looked dumb in the movie. The story didn\'t add much to Resident Evil as well.
HOWEVER, that Milla kick was like what, 30 seconds, if even that, of the movie. The "Matrix ripoff" scenes like the bullet time, again, like 30 seconds of the movie so I didn\'t complain about that. And either of these scenes didn\'t look as bad as many people here (well, gaming forums in general [whether it be here or Resident Evil forums, and whatnot]). Also, the movie is supposed to be a prequel. While I wouldn\'t have a problem if it followed the game story, I probably would\'ve been more critical if it did. Especially if he changed a few things here and there (being a somewhat hardcore Resident Evil fan, would\'ve took the movie apart if that was the case). So far, the movie appears to be a companion to the games.
So, all in all, good enjoyable movie that fits in the Resident Evil universe well.
