#4: Resident Evil

êêêê

Oh boy, where do I begin. An acquaintance of mine recommended the Resident Evil movies, because she heard that I like zombie films. Um, wow. Boy was she wrong on so many levels. First of all, this was not in fact a zombie movie. Yes the dead "came back to life," but I don't care what people say, this was so not what a zombie film should be. Let me just say, that I really do like Milla Jovovich, and she was amazing in The Fifth Element. She was honestly the only decent actor in the entire set of Resident Evil. Everything about this movie was just wrong, from the plot to the graphics and actors. The story line of the movie is that there's an underground government facility that contains highly trained scientists along with their experiments, until one day when someone breaks in to one of the labs and steals a very toxic virus along with the antivirus. During this process, the thief purposely drops one tube of the virus, releasing it throughout the facility through the air vents. The entire facility is ran by a central computer system that starts killing people to stop them from leaving with the virus in their system. Of course, Milla Jovovich's character, along with Michelle Rodriguez, shut down the system and reboot it. When this occurs, all of the scientists that were killed by the computer system come back as "zombies," and start attacking whoever is left alive.

Some films can have an extremely unrealistic plot and make it work through execution and details, but this was not one of those films. Nothing in this movie made believe that this could really happen, and it was all done so poorly that I still don't understand how there are so many sequels. The moral of this story is, Milla Jovovich should have just said, "No."
