Maybe it is because I am a huge Resident Evil fan, but I did enjoy this movie quiet a bit. This one I feel is much more true to the games.
The main villain/monster is Nemesis from the 3rd game (aptly named Resident Evil 3: Nemsis). At one point in the movie he is shooting at S.T.A.R.S (Special Tactics and Resue Squad/Service) members and as he is doing this he bellows "S.T.A.R.S." I was very happy to see this tidbit included. Towards the end there is a scene where Alice (the heroine) is outrunning helicopter fire, this is a scene taken almost exactly from Resident Evil: Code Veronica (X) and was a great little homage to that amazing game. At the end (SPOILER) Racoon City is nuked by Umbrella to cover their tracks. This again was another homage to the games. Finally, a main character was also from the Resident Evil games (1 and 3) Jill Valentine.
Overall this is a great movie for people who like the games, but probably not for people who just like zombie movies.
