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.

Trivia: In the final scene when Milla Jovovich emerges from Racoon City Hospital into the ruined city, a newspaper blows past in the wind with the headline "The Dead Walk" - a blatant reference to George Romero's classic zombie flick "Day of the Dead" where a newspaper with the same headline blows past in the opening sequence.

Question: Why is the game series this is based on known as 'Resident Evil' in some countries but in others it's called 'Biohazard'? Does the name swap also apply to the film?
Answer: The game was originally called 'BioHazard' in Japan, but because of copyright problems with the band Biohazard, was named 'Resident Evil' in the US and Europe. However most hard-core gamers call it 'BioHazard' no matter where they live. For more info, check out http://faqs.ign.com/articles/378/378719p1.html.
