Resident Evil (2002)

Under Raccoon City in a secret laboratory named The Hive, an outbreak of a virus turns everyone into zombies. A special unit of the military is sent into The Hive to dismantle the Red Queen, a super computer that is currently controlling the complex. The military stumble upon Alice, who has lost her memory and drag her along with them.

The group is able to infiltrate The Hive but runs into problems, mainly zombies and security measures that are still intact to prevent anyone from getting access to the Red Queen.

Having never played the video game, I had no preconceived misconceptions about what the movie should be like, and have no idea if it follows the story line of the game. The film was really entertaining and I enjoyed it a lot. Even though there wasn't really any character development, the pacing was good, the action worked and there was some tension. I'll definitely watch it again.
