Resident Evil Movie Review Summary

Actors: Milla Jovovich, Michelle Rodriguez

Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Resident Evil


A woman with amnesia tries to retrace what happened to her in an underground lab teeming with zombies. Alice wakes up in a mansion, without any recollection of what happened to her when suddenly she is apprehended by a group of soldiers. They tell her that a virus has broken out deep underground in a lab facility of the Umbrella Corp., and they are going down there to shut down the supercomputer called Red Queen that's running the place. She goes down with James, the leader, Rain, an officer, and Matt, a guy who the team encountered and placed under arrest. On their descent, they run into Spencer, a guy that Alice vaguely remembers from a picture she used to have, he too has lost his memory. When they reach the lab, they go to the Red Queen chambers, only it defends itself with lasers that can easily slice people, thus killing some soldiers, including James. Rain is attacked by a zombie, a result of the virus infecting the people trapped in the labs. When they are cornered, they go back to the chamber. Meanwhile, Alice is pursued by zombie dogs, and she manages to fight them off with some mad martial arts skills and with a gun, apparently she worked as a security guard in the labs. Elsewhere, an ugly and rabid monster has escaped and is lurking in the labs. From another room, they escape via sewer. Spencer's memory is starting to come back, and it was him that released the virus. He wanted the facility destroyed since his sister Lisa wanted to reveal the corporation's shady operations. He goes to a place where he hid a vial of vaccine, but he gets killed by the monster. On the train escaping the labs, Alice and Rain are also chased by the monster but they kill it when it falls and gets crushed by the speeding vehicle. Rain is severely infected, and when she turns into a zombie, Matt kills her. Only Matt and Alice survive, before they are swooped up again by personnel. Alice wakes up in a hospital, only to discover that aboveground, the virus has been released here as well.

Best part of story, including ending: Because it's a mystery/thriller first of figuring out who Alice really is, and second, of who started the virus breakout.

Best scene in story: I personally liked the fight scenes with the dogs, because you see Alice take them down one by one, like in the video game.

Opinion about the main character: I like Alice's tough girl persona, she gets down and dirty with the fight scenes.
