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.

One of the most useful apps I've ever come across. I've used it for years and recommended it to all my friends. Even if I'm not the type to have to pee during movies often, being able to pull up the app and pass my phone to my mom/friend/grandma so that they know when to go to the bathroom has been invaluable. Because then I don't have to summarize anything when they get back!!

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.
