I don't know why it's so hard for directors to make a video game movie, all the source material is right there and you don't need to make anything up. That being said if this wasn't a resident evil movie, it would actually be passable. But they attached a popular name to it and decided to make a different plot. This film is also so very slow the first half of the movie could have been condensed down into about 20-25 minutes and most of it is not explaining anything to us ( why they're sick, why they're zombies, literally anything as to why it's happening ) we are left in the dark for so long and it's barely worth watching. Second half is interesting to watch but still not a lot of story or interesting dialogue, just good shooting fun with some well-shot scenes. Characters are alright but I feel like they're all dumbed down and pretty bland. They're portrayed as dumb curious kids essentially who are so awestruck and confused at every corner. Leon especially. I understand trying to give him character development but they have him start at zero. He's supposed to be a confident leader and someone who knows raccoon city but instead he's a rookie that is made fun of at every cost. I don't even know anymore like they could have made this great they definitely had the money for it but it's almost like they tried to make it something new and groundbreaking when all we want is a resident evil source material movie.

Really good teen show, some spooky stories and the main plot was pretty good and a lot more deeper than initially presumed. Really makes you feel every type of emotion and very well at that. Good watch.

Fun rated R movie but definitely had a lot of problems and could have fleshed out every character a lot more.
