For my first Friday Night Flick, I decided to test the waters with something a little more mainstream. So tonight, I am watching Resident Evil.
This movie is based on the popular video game of the same name. It was made in 2002 and stars Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez (who I love). It is also the very first in a long and successful string of franchise movies- with a new on slated to come out in 2012.
As far as mainstream movies based on video games go, this one is pretty good. It speaks to the geek of many on a very successful level by faithfully presenting favorite aspects from the game alongside some pretty good zombie mayhem. Of course, this was the near the beginning of the CGI revolution and so some of the effects actually LOOK like they came straight out of the video game; but that’s the good thing about zombie movies- they are constantly evolving.
Anyway, this movie is a good time and fun for all ages (almost) and if you are looking for something to watch tonight it is defiantly something to check out – if you haven’t already seen it. And don’t worry, next week we will slide a bit farther off the radar and check out something a little more obscure.
In the meantime, let me know what you think…
Like it?
Hate it?
