The atmosphere is 🔥, the industrial, cyberpunk vibes are spot on, and Marilyn Manson’s eerie soundtrack ties it all together. It feels like stepping into a video game, which is a win for fans of the Resident Evil series. Mila Jovovich (my first crush) owns the role of Alice, bringing badass energy to every scene.

That said, for a movie about a secret underground lab overrun with zombies… There aren’t that many zombies. We get a few great undead moments, but the Hive mostly feels too empty.

The action, on the other hand, is chaotic and fun—though sometimes a little messy. The early-2000s energy is undeniable: heavy metal, slow-motion fight scenes, and that distinct video-game-turned-movie vibe. It’s a little cheesy, but in the best way possible. 🧨💥

If you were a teenage gamer back then, this movie was made for you. Nostalgia hits hard, and despite its flaws, it’s still a super rewatchable flick. Would a George Romero version have been better? Maybe. But Resident Evil (2002) still stands as one of the most fun video game adaptations ever. Solid 7/10. What do you think? Drop your thoughts below! ⬇️🎬
