What a freakin’ great ride.
I have ZERO knowledge of either the Resident Evil games or the movies. (I know, I know. Somehow I just never got around to any of them.) So I came into this one completely cold… and loved it.

If you’re like me and know nothing about it, here’s the setup: a guy gets stuck in a city in the middle of a virus outbreak, and it quickly becomes a kind of zombie apocalypse. That’s it. You don’t need to know anything else.
This 90-minute movie is fast, scary, funny, and shocking—all at once. It zips from situation to situation at breakneck speed, so you never really have time to sit and breathe… just like the character on screen.
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
Brilliant idea with great information
I’ve been using RunPee for a few years now and it’s basically a requirement of going to the movies for me. The best part of course are the “pee times” that give you cues, synopses and times for when you can pee without missing the most important parts of the movie. There is also information about the credits- length, extras and if there are any extra scenes at the wayyy end. Super helpful to just know that it is or isn’t worth staying. There is a timer function that will buzz your phone when it’s a good time to pee. I also appreciate that the app is very conscientious about it being an app you use in a theater- dark background, all silent alarms etc. I will always enjoy the experience of the theater even if I could watch things at home- but I’ve even used it at home to check for things like after credit scenes or other information too.

I must say this film is incredibly successful at blending a video game with a movie. You can see the character thinking through problems the way you would while playing a new game. For those of you who aren’t gamers, don’t let that put you off. It’s just interesting how often I could see the video-game roots—in a good way.
The performances are pretty much pitch perfect. Abrams expands on his stoner character from “Weapons,” and it’s always fun to see Zach Cherry and the great Paul Walter Hauser. But if anything, they’re a little underused.
Hurry and check this out in the biggest theater you can; the shocks will be bigger and louder—just the way they should be.
