Dies und das:

This is the only Resident Evil movie to be released onto HD DVD, but after Blu-Ray became the official format for high definition movies, Resident Evil then switched from HD DVD to Blu-Ray.

Pannen:

Faktische Fehler: When Spence listens in on Alice's conversation, he is using a standard shotgun microphone on a zeppelin shock mount. This is a location sound piece of equipment for film work. Although a shotgun mic does have a decent reach, it is not a suitable (telescopic) microphone for spy work.

Dialogzitate:

Kaplan: Bitch wouldn't open the door, so I had to fry her.

You're all going to die down here.

I am sure that this would have been a much better film had George Romero (Night of the Living Dead) signed on, but I don't take anything away from Paul W.S. Anderson, who did a good job despite lack of experience with zombies.

I did a double feature last night to prepare for the third film in this series. No, I haven't done video games since Pacman, so I had no idea what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed Milla Jovovich and, of course, am always happy to see Michelle Rodriguez.

I have only come into zombies recently, so I was not aware that this film brought the genre back after a long absence. It is to be praised and revered for that, if nothing else.

Now, in the next film, I hope there is a little more zombie and less sci-fi.
