Ok, first of all, I am a huge zombie movie fan. I loved all of Romero's
flicks and thoroughly enjoyed the re-make of Dawn of the Dead. So when I
had
heard every single critic railing this movie I was still optimistic. I
mean,
critics hated Resident Evil, and while it may not be a particularly great
film, I enjoyed it if not for the fact that it was just a fun zombie
shoot-em up with a half decent plot. This however, is pure crap. Terrible
dialogue, half-assed plot, and video game scenes inserted into the film.
Who
in their right mind thought that was a good idea. The only thing about
this
movie (I use the term loosely) that I enjoyed was Jurgen Prochnow as
Captain
Kirk (Ugh). While his name throws originality out the window, you can see
in
his performance that he knows he's in a god awful film and he might as
well
make the best of it. Everyone else acts as if they're doing Shakespeare.
And
very badly I might add. Basically the only reason anyone should see this
monstrosity is if you a.) Are a huge zombie buff and must see every zombie
flick made or b.) Like to play MST3K, the home game. See it with friends
and
be prepared for tons of unintentional laughs.
