Based on the video game, the 2002 version centered on a commando team who must break into “the hive,” a vast underground genetics laboratory operated by the powerful Umbrella Corporation. There, a deadly virus has been unleashed, killing the lab’s personnel and resurrecting them as the evil Un-dead. The team has just three hours to shut down the lab’s supercomputer and close the facility before the virus threatens to overrun the Earth.
Rated R for strong sci-fi/horror violence, language and sexuality/nudity, the film sports a 36% approval rating over on Rotten Tomatoes with a Critics Consensus that reads: Like other video game adaptations, Resident Evil is loud, violent, formulaic, and cheesy.
