I'm all for dumb entertainment (Swordfish and xXx are guilty pleasures for me) but this one lacks any innovation, even for its time, not to mention some poor acting (though Jovovich was the least aggressor in the cast). Some of the action was okay but much else felt like a waste of time. **2.0/5**...

**Sure, it's not a masterpiece, but it is near and dear to my heart.**

**EXTREME BIAS WARNING**
I am fully aware that the rating I gave this movie doesn't entirely fit the quality of the film, but here are my flimsy reasons why this movie is almost a 5 of 5-star movie:

1. I am a major fan of the Resident Evil video games, and this is the one out of the Paul WS Anderson saga most similar to the games.
2. I grew up watching this movie with my dad over and over, so it has a good deal of nostalgia for me.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) takes the franchise in a more action-heavy direction, but in doing so, it loses some of what made the first movie work.

The horror elements are almost an afterthought, making the zombies feel out of place in what plays more like an over-the-top action movie.

The directing choices are questionable, with excessive shaky cam and overblown shots that make certain action scenes harder to f...

Fun to see a Star Trek character in this movie. I'm watching the whole series of Resident Evil again and enjoyed the second movie. It tracked well from the last movie and didn't try to recreate the first movie but moved on from where they left off which was great. Good story, new monsters and good plot. Focus was more on the action this time but still a good movie....
