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. 3. The introduction of Jill Valentine and Carlos Olivera is awesome! 4. The story following the fall of Raccoon City to hordes of undead while a small group of heroes tries to survive is my favorite plot of the franchise. 5. Lots of zombies and lots of action.

My favorite out of the series. Apocalypse was my favorite game too. Trying to battle Nemesis who is this big slow very powerful zombie like creature.
