I had fun at the movie; however, I am wiling to admit that the film sucked. As a matter of fact, I am more than willing I will even tell you why it sucked.
Resident Evil is a survivor series. Basically how will you get out of situation; how will you survive. The third film answer this in the first 15 mins. We didn't. Which is cool in its own right. However, from the here the movie got intense. Lots of cool scenes, a decent story. But lack of plot. There was a lot of character development that didn't go anywhere. Like, we learn a lot about these characters and then they either die (which is fine) or they all just leave. Nothing about it other than they left.
This was a movie about Milla's character, Alice. This is where we learn all about her, which is fine and dandy but it needed more, it needed to be longer. It felt like this film was either a filler or a very weak and poor ending. Like they didn't want to even do it but decided 'fine'.
Barring this, the film was awesome. It included a lot of what was in the games. Rage zombies, crows, dogs, and even a mutated form from taking to much serum.
But again, the battles were to short, the characters just disappear, you leave with a sense of un-fulfillment, and again they leave it open to another movie...kind of. More like a kick ass ending that we will never see.
I was disappointed in the end result, but I had fun. It is intense and; although the director used to much of the 'cheap thriller' card, it is a little scary.
My friend stated it best. "It is suppose to be a survivor story. Not a horror story, not a thriller story, but a survivor story".
