9.6/10. The one that started it all. I think it showed the promise and potential of the franchise. Milla shows her understanding of Alice with a mix of determination and vulnerability. She goes from frightened to badass during the course of the movie. Michelle Rodriguez is also excellent, they should've had her in all the sequels.I would dare say this movie's success is what pushed them to up their game for the sequels which they did. This is also the only sci fi action movie I can recall seeing where the heroine goes around in a dress.

Question: Is the reanimation of dead people the purpose of the virus, or an unforeseen side effect? If it's a side effect, what was the original purpose of the T-Virus?
Answer: The original virus was a "Fountain of Youth" type of thing. Reviving dead cells so the host would stay young. It was so powerful that it reanimated the dead.
Answer: Wait, wasn't the original virus meant to control the scientists daughters genetic disease, not an eternal life serum.

Answer: Actually the T-Virus was originally meant as a cure for a genetic disorder that Dr. Ashford and James Marcus daughters suffered from. The reanimation was a side effect and James Marcus was killed by Dr. Alexander Isaacs so he could take control of it and turn it into a bio-weapon.
