The Resident Evil film franchise has never known to be good. In fact, like most video game movies, they are known to be downright awful. And really, there isn't much beyond the special effects and action to really say these movies are good. But they have built a reputation of stories about a corporation that unleashes a virus that has turned the world into zombies save a select few and now Alice is out to stop them. And of course the films always end with a cliffhanger. The fourth installment is no different. There is plenty of action, plenty of zombies, and a cliffhanger that leaves it open for another film. There really was no surprise there. But these films aren't about surprises. They are about fun. And Resident Evil is fun in an over the top way all the more accentuated by the excessive 3D. Yes, of course the 3D is unnecessary. That's okay, though, it's fun. But if you're looking to save some money you'll want to find a theater that has it in 2D. There really is nothing great about 3D, especially not here. But this film is one fun thrill ride that, for the most part, is pretty exciting.
