    From someone who is not familiar with the games... maybe skip it.

    First off- I have a lot of respect for the resident evil games,I know they are at least solid enough to warrant several sequel games. I also know there is one or two good guys, a whack of zombies and usually a decked out uber badass boss character. I don't know much more, and for that reason, this movie really didn't do much for me.

    There were too many moments throughout where some random guy/girl would show up, that im sure any resident evil fan would freak out at- but i just had no clue what the significance was. copious references that went over my head that one of the gamers would catch...made me basically feel out of the loop on this one.

    I think I felt like one of my firends I've forced to watch advent children with no knowledge of Final Fantasy 7. there is just too much insider stuff for casual viewers.

    wooden character animation, and above average vg cutscene style- but a very cool fight at the end, some decent gore kept up the pace.

    defiantly recommend you check this out if you've played the games, however I would be very wary if your new to the Resident Evil universe, this is likely not the best place to start.

    For RE fans mostly

    I gave it a 7 because I'm a geek to the games, and this is pretty loyal to the series. In truth, as a critic, I'd say a 6 would be a more accurate portrayal of my review.

    First, it's really awesome to see Claire and Leon together again. There's plenty of action, and the zombies are fun when they pop up (mostly at the airport setting - which is actually not a setting it takes place in for the majority of the movie, just to say).

    It's not a perfect movie though, and I can't help but draw comparisons in ways which "Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children" suffered from (which was a movie I utterly despised). While you don't have to have played the game to understand it (unlike FF7) - yeah, you're definitely gonna have to be a fan of the series to truly appreciate it.

    It looks beautiful, but there's the every-now-&-then when the characters still look and move too CGI-ish. And I can't help but notice how Leon has more Japanese facial features here. The plot works enough for a story to tell, but it seems to force in some cheesy melodrama, and the typical "if you ain't important, you're meat" thing. The way it moves and ends, I wonder if anything here will even be incorporated to the game arc, or if it was really its own story (because it feels like it)... like the games, some things aren't entirely resolved and new questions are made (and with the games going zombie-less, it makes you wonder!).

    Still, if you're a fan, it's definitely worth watching -- you got the pair again (and I'm always pleased with Alyson Court continuing to reprise her role; there's no other Claire!), you got real zombies again, and it's all about kicking back and just watching them kick serious ass!

    For the Residen Evil Fans

    It is important to remember It is important to remember that this is a fan movie. For someone like me it was great fun to be reunited with characters one played in the games. Much to it's defense this production stayed more true to the atmosphere in the games that recent flicks, something every Resident Evil fan will recognize. As for those of you not familiar with the games I won't vouch for the movie, but you may have a enjoyable time watching it anyway.

    For the tec stuff. Graphics are all there although some of the animation could have been done better. This is not Pixar quality people say, but do have in mind the type of budget Pixar and the like have to work with.

    All around a decent go at bringing a game legend to the animated screen.

    Decent...

    I was surfing on internet and I accidentally found trailer that computer made Resident Evil movie is coming to town! As I played all 4 games (and I long await fifth), I was very excited!

    When I finally watched it, I was satisfied. It has some captivating scenes, CGI is doe perfectly, and Claire is better then ever... They tried to include all characters from Resident Evil franchise. As for the plot is considered, that is the only reason why I have given it 7. It's hard these days to make a good plot that will keep you edge of the seat whole movie. This one is decent, not so good, not so bad...

    I can't say nothing more about this movie, if you are a fan of the game and movies, you will adore this one... If you are not familiar with serial (I don't know if there is a person that isn't), then this movie will be decent for you...

    pretty freakin sweet.

    while i was slightly disappointed (as others were, i see), that the movie didn't relate to the games as directly as one would have hoped, i was surprised (pleasantly) as to how much it did. when compared to the live action movies, this film is hands down the best RE movie out there. now, i have been a life-long fan of the game series and always thought, hoped, and wished that they would make a movie based on the game. and now the finally have. it's definitely a must see for anyone who liked the game in the least bit.

    and now, the bad parts. while very few, the game did have some disappointing flaws. only bringing back two of the game series main characters for the story was sort of a bad idea. i mean, i realize that they didn't want to over clutter the film with small bit parts, but the could have at least involved other main characters with cameos or something. also, where is wesker? wesker's been the bad guy since the get-go and he is always behind it in one way or another, yet, he is completely devoid from this film. overall, the only bad things in this movie are the ways that a fan of the games might think it would (or should) hook up into the overall arcing storyline, but it doesn't. it almost seems like this is just another day in the life of our main characters (albeit, with zombies).

      Claire Redfield: [Leon has just saved her from a zombie] Leon... what are you doing here?

      Leon S. Kennedy: I could ask you the same thing.

      Claire Redfield: You're the one?

      Senator Ron Davis: Is this it?

      Leon S. Kennedy: Yep.

      Senator Ron Davis: Reinforcements?

      Leon S. Kennedy: None, we're getting out alone.

      Senator Ron Davis: Is it too much to hope you at least have some sort of a plan?

      Leon S. Kennedy: We're gonna run across the lobby.

      Senator Ron Davis: Are you insane? The lobby is crawling with those creatures!

      Leon S. Kennedy: It's also the widest area. It's too dangerous to take the long way around.

      Claire Redfield: He's right.

      [the Senator looks at her]

      Claire Redfield: They aren't fast, we can get by them.

      Senator Ron Davis: Oh yeah? And since when did the N.G.O member become such an authority on the subject!

      Leon S. Kennedy: She's one of the rare survivors of Raccoon City. She has more experience with this kind of hellish nightmare than anyone else here.

      Greg Glenn: [talking to Angela] Hey, Raccoon City, isn't that where the...?

      Angela Miller: Yes.
