This is so true.... 3 of the female actors i know. So good people, until they get forced to hypnotice for this role. Times runes and get faster and faster and.... Stops....
Also question if you have a VP who wears cool shades and a blade jacket, looks like a cross between Vanilla Ice and Duke Nukem, with questionable ethics. In fact, any item on that list.
So you have to wear a Hazmat suit in the lab, but the ducts in the room are connected to the rest of the facility? Seems like something OSHUA should have noticed.
The Umbrella Corporation would have paid OSHUA to look the other way. In case you’ve forgotten a lot of Umbrella’s employees are “volunteers” for their experiments.
Was probably done like that so umbrella could kill their employees at a moments notice, an example would be in re5 where they used a nerve agent to paralyze all their scientists and then executed them. Umbrella! What a great company!
It was deep underground with safety measures in place, if recon team would keep it shut it would be good. And anyway they arrived several hours later and "halon has dissipated" so does a T virus.. make sense :D
looking back on this movie they embraced the 2000s futurism aesthetic perfectly, it captured such a unique aura of that era that I love coming back and watching
It also came out 1 year after 9/11 and Enron. We as a western society had come to realize that our workplaces were unsafe - both foreign and domestic threats were screwing American optimism left and right. Resident Evil came just in time... unfortunately now we have behemoths like Amazon taking over the world, breaking laws and hurting people, and we do nothing to say no. Something bad will happen again. Get ready.
Yeah I clearly very clearly remember the 2000s being the last time where we and media had a very bright, crazy and positive and creative outlook on the future. Nowadays we all know 1984 is awaiting
for me it was the room with the lasers and the dude who got waffled by them... the eyeball sliding apart after being split, and then all the meat falling like a 6 foot tall mound of steak tips.
Between this and the Red Queen, the scariest and most traumatizing antagonists in this zombie movie weren't the zombies or any of the other abominable monsters but rather the automated systems designed to stop them.
Yeah, I thought about that many times. To me, it puts colder atmosphere on the of these kind of movies. You can fight with zombies and they are concrete enemies but the Red Queen is an AI without feelings and you really can't know what it might cause in a building with full of technological devices.
You can't really blame computers. They are supposed to stop the spread, even if it means to eliminate people.. Imagine covid, if system worked it would lock down whole lab, therefore millions of people, thousands of dead people and pandemic would be avoided at cost of few people.
I'm pretty sure that was the point. The systems in place to deal with it, the circumstances allowing it to happen... Things you can shoot aren't that scary
This opening scene is so terrifying and doesn’t involve zombies. Love it. This scene freaked me out at 12 years old and still freaks me out as an adult. Probably the scariest part of the film
The best parts of this movie for me is the opening theme, this scene, and that laser grid thing later that spreads into a net making it impossible to avoid.
I watched this movie when I was a kid. After watching this movie I had nightmares about zombies lurking around my house. I always a spooked when somebody made weired noises. Took me me several years to move on from this fear 😱
It's strange to hear that the movie is underrated, even though it's virtually iconic. It wouldn't have gotten more on its budget anyway. Add more scenes with the city, reveal the office workers, elaborate decals... but what would it do for the plot? A reasonable budget and a great start.
I would say #3 and #1 are tied. then #2, then the others. Own all of em up to the final chapter hard copy haven't seen the stuff since yet but am open to adding em eventually. Animated was okay. but yeah, like Jurassic Park, Terminator... the first three were exceptional
lesson learned from this movie , NEVER EVER leave a premise's security to A.I. or anything else for that matter. it really send a chill down my back watching people's helplessness
AI Antivirus exists and it's not how you think, the benefits of having AI for security is detecting intrusions before they happen because standard antivirus software is limited and dumb.
I will forever remember this movie thanks to an odd experience. Around the halfway point, someone pulled the fire alarm in the theater. Imagine my shock when the lights and sirens began to sound, just like this intro. I was terrified that an actual zombie outbreak had begun.
Weird things do happen. I went to see Terminator 2: Judgement Day at a theater. It was such a mob scene I went to another theater. It was mobbed too but I went in to see it there anyway. Lighting struck the first theater and blew out all the projectors and sound systems about an hour later. It was August and thunderstorm weather. That would of been freaky watching a movie and the entire building shuts down.
@@VBunplugged757 Oh, I didn't mean to detract from the water issue, it just seemed like a funny comparison to throw covid in there. I do appreciate the juxtaposition of those two movie lines and I'm sure writers didn't give it too much thought. Writers pretty much do the bare minimum to get you to buy a ticket and leave a good review somewhere.
This actress is so good at expressing horror. She was great in Interview with a Vampire and great here. She really sells the terror people feel in these situations.
Seeing my siblings play Resident Evil 2 as a kid and then renting this movie from Blockbuster back in the day was such an unforgettable experience. I love how they manage to make you care for these three groups of random people (office, elevator, and flooding labs) even though they wouldn't survive past this 7-minute scene.
This movie came out when I was a 13. My friends and I asked our parents if we could go see Ice Age at the movies. After it finished, we snuck into a showing of Resident Evil that literally had just started. My god that was a mistake. That opening score haunts me to this day… and it’s sooooo good. I’ll have that memory forever. I vividly remember thinking how pretty the sister and the lady in the elevator were.
Truth to be told, these (almost) 7 minutes to me are the best part of all Resident Evil movies adaptations. I honestly fell more for everybody dying in this opening than for anyone that would come later anywhere. I felt the suffering of everyone in here. Since I work in office it makes me probably even more connected to see everyone just dying because they went to work on the "wrong day"... and just when Lisa is dying and asking the Red Queen to stop the halon... it feels so real to me. I know that Paul W.S. Anderson made many bad choices in Resident Evil series... but I would say that this opening would even work as a simple short movie. It just gets to me every time I see it.
I remember reading that the bathrooms in horror games are the scariest part of the buildings, because it's an actual real place where real people used to go before everything went wrong. I guess you've pretty much summarised it up. We care because it's relatable.
@replacesoundboard I read that in a zombie outbreak, first responders would go first. Police, fire, ambulances, hospitals. After that, it's just trying to survive. If they walk like in The Walking Dead, there is some hope. If they run like in World War Z or Train To Busan, we are so dead.
Amazing how the first film of this series was so damn good. And how it was so disappointing to see every other film afterwords turn into a craptacular masterpiece.
i loved the first resident evil. they totally destroyed every single movie after that. and tv series! i wish someone would make a movie or series worth watching
They got rid of the sciency and high-tech vibe they had going on with the first movie. What really changed was the mystery horror aesthetic it had going on.
@@halogalaxy5612 could have put the building under lockdown and administer anti-virus to everyone. Than get a team in to question and find out what caused the leak OR just kill everyone causing tons of zombies and no answers to the people outside causing them to go into a super hazardous area and fck everything up .....
Now " I don't know why each employee" choose to work underground with a biological weapon. I'm curious myself especially jobs types and salaries. Also why would you walk in one way and no way out. Either your delusional or just gullible.
There was a bunch that could have been done differently. But the red queen was ordered to do things strictly so that the events played out in getting the virus to escape and end the world.
Tbh as the entry film of the series, this one holds up to this day. It's quite hard to make a game into a movie, but they actually did a fine job here. As a RE fan it did not disappoint me :)
Fully agree ! This is my favorite movie adaptation of a video game aside from the first mortal Kombat movie . It’s a very solid zombie movie you’d never know it was resident evil
@@Defender78 only thing I can think of is that he knew it would maybe trigger an emergency lockdown making it much easier to escape since no one would be able to leave and catch him
@@Defender78 I always looked at it as them trying to expose Umbrella. On the way out the door, trigger a massive outbreak of whatever that the company couldn't just hide.
It's not even airborne, it's a straight up gas. Airborne viruses don't float around in the atmosphere like other air, airborne viruses are transmitted through sneezing and coughing, like flu. This is something otherworldly science bullshit because even something tiny Ike a virus can't exist as a gas, it has to be suspended in a fluid like blood or snot. So the virus coming up off the floor and into the vents is completely impossible
So did the t virus knock out and turn everyone into zombies right away except for the people on the elevator?. Or did it only affect a select few, leaving the remaining survivors to be hunted down... because later on when we see majority of the infected, they seem to be pretty cut up, bitten, and damaged.
The fact that you relate to this scene demonstrates just how stupid you are. How can a dog smell a virus? Why does an bio lab have interconnected ventilation systems.
Watched this as a child, it scared me shitless. Now I work in a pathology lab with biohazard signs everywhere ☣ I think of this film almost every day at work :)
I dare to say the first and second movies are actually pretty decent and somehow follow the RE's spirit, from the third onwards, the train got out of the rails
No, just the first one was good, and al just thanks to the red queen. Zombies were acceptable, the super powers were dog sh1t. Red Queen is the MVP of this movie. RE2 is mediocre, and from there the rest of the movies are an insult to the games.
I hope you don't mean the rest of the movies cause just this one was good, a not because of zombieas, red queen is the mvp. RE2 was mediocre, and from there, the rest of movies are dog sh1t.l, an insult to the games.
I've always thought it was a great opening and a decent mistery plot. You can clearly see Purefoy in the opening but that's if you know to look for him.
OK then you're a f*cking retard. When the toxic mist went into the VENT from the lab, ANY MORON KNOWS THE LABS HAVE THEIR OWN VENTILATION NOT CONNECTED TO THE REST OF THE COMPLEX. This is the most idiotic opening of any of these over done shite franchises. Go back to film school moron.
Years later I finally figured out that it wasn't the systems fault. One of the employees knew the system and temporarily bypassed the security. The Red Queen then made the decision to terminate everyone inside of the Hive, but the T-virus had already infected everyone, thus they all came back. Knowing this, the system sealed the Hive and the virus only escaped because Umbrella forced it open again in the next movie.
@@maxisaev568 Absolutely true. The real biohazard lab must be sure to have at least a reliable air lock system to stop the spread of viruses to other areas of the structure.
I wasnt able to go to sleep for several days coz of this movie wheb i was a kid. Constantly peeping through doors and windows at night thinking about a zombie outbreak. Best zombie movie ever.
First minute of this is a true masterpiece of horror cinema. Without even showing anything grotesque it scares shi* out of ppl - image, sound, music and that virus sample threw away at the end of this one minute sequence, it is so powerful!
I always liked the first movie. Atmosphere is just awesome. Also the Red Queen is doing exactly what she's supposed to do - destroying virus in the air and isolating infected ones. They weren't supposed to unlock it in the first place.
I really prefer the hive more than nest from the games. Ofc the history in the games IS better but when in turns into the outbreak of the city is because of a single sewer lab that Every cop would find 💀
@@noahgentry8650 my family used to all get together in the living room whenever we rented movies so I'd never watch them alone. I definitely hid behind a pillow for this one lmao
When the lady trying to go through the elevator doors and then went back up and we saw how she met her end. Knowing that she lost her head and everyone else died in a crash. The sound effects from the metal clanging sounded like it hurt from here. Ouch.
@@InitialPC The lady ended up losing her head while the other occupants of the elevator probably crashed and died, and possibly were brought back by the T virus. I can't tell which one of them had it worse or what was considered an act of mercy to them.
@@joelrodriguez9820 That's the thing about films. They have main characters, secondary characters, recurring characters and minor characters. She was probably one of the minor characters.
This was really the peak of the Resident Evil movie franchise. Like the games, after the first one, they forgot to be horror and became action. This movie remembered to create tension and anxiety.
This whole movie is like a “what not do do at work” orientation video and a “why your safety and security systems are ineffective” instructional video rolled into one.
This is pretty well written, actually, screenwriting-wise. The scene with the axe and the sealed room, the one where you hear from afar the screaming in the elevator. The last scene with the elevator head. Everything plays out to be really disturbing. Many people disliked the movie. I'm a RE fan and I think it was ok.
The writing is ok from a horror/action point of view. But, "This water isn’t going anywhere, it's a sealed room" doesn't fit with virus passed through ventilation ducts, a few minutes earlier.
@@fos8789 I think later they show that room filled with water and bodies. After the team walks by, one of the aquarium bodies opens its eyes for a minor “boo!” scare.
@@JKMT Yes, that could be. But not realistic that a Level 4 bio clean lab would have vents connecting to the entire facility - exactly to prevent what happens in the film. I still really enjoy thr movie.
I actually discovered one of my favorite bands because they played during the end credits of one of the Resident Evil movies (Killswitch Engage). (The song that played was "The End Of Heartache", if you want to check it out. I highly recommend.) 🤟
One problem. If the virus was ever airborne then surely it would infect through the air and not just with zombie bites. People would just toss vials instead of using guns when fighting. Which never happens in Resident evil games/films. Armed human enemies? Just toss a vial. Why use bullets?
Yep, then over in the sister lab in Boston, they just openly admit to doing exactly the same thing they denied the other lab did. Oh and the entire media establishment went along with it.
@@StCreed Funny you should 'ask'. Hollywood movies, being woke these days, is for all intents and purposes exactly that, a self-serving propaganda documentary in order to micro-manage (cousin to micro-aggression) your thinking toward one or more political positions that one, and only one, party supports for financial gain, aka selling America and Americans out. You see, the Chinese figured out (since they don't hamstring themselves with equity and CRT) and that it is far cheaper to just buy off American media and politicians than it is to have a kinetic war.
Despite everything, we gotta give Paul W. S. Anderson some credit. He really is passionate about his projects created something special with this franchise. This movie is from 2002, which is pretty wild. A lot of good memories with my brother watching this.
No he is passionate about his wife. After Raccoon City the movie series just became about how he could make his wife appear as badass as possible while calling it Resident Evil. Just my opinion though, if you like the movies, more power to you.
@@handlerone5172 You're not wrong. I can understand your point and I think it's valid as well. As the series went on, it really became just a Milla Jovovich's showcase. But still, he did videogames movies even before Milla started acting in his projects. The first MK movie for example. There is some passion and love for what he does, despite the tons of flaws.
1:10 That's why I never wear bright shirts without a dark suit on top. This is the greatest horror in the movie: coffee on your shirt at the office/zombie lab
I like how Paul took stuff from the first game and second game yet he created and entirely new story for this movie to not just get the fans attention but the general movie goers attention and the first one is the best one and the scariest one this opening scene is so iconic and legendary with the music you knew shit was about to go down
@@suphalafrau8083 there was a more recent incident in New York maybe 2 years ago in an expensive apartment where the elevator started moving with the doors open and on guy got caught.
@@stevegoldstein3402 so was a female that was torn in half after a safety device was disabled during a repair and was not switched back on. The repairmen were charged with manslaughter, both guys got 10 years or so.
Okay, point of order here - Seems to me like filling up a room with sprinklers would take FOREVER! You ever tried filling up a swimming pool with a garden hose?
Not necessarily. Besides, there was all the time in the world to do that. They sped it up because they need to move the plot forward. This film is a serious guilty pleasure of mine.
Fire sprinklers can pump out water very fast. I’ve been in a building where only one fire sprinkler was set off, somehow it was faulty. It filled the entire area with water. They are much more powerful than people think.
Up to 40 gallons per minute from one sprinkler head. 30x30 room, probably 6 sprinklers, so, 240 gal per minute. Fill to knee height, 2 feet high, 1800 cubic feet, 13,500 gallons. So, it would take 56 minutes. But most importantly... it's ridiculously faster than a garden hose, which can be as low as 6 gallons per minute.
This is still one of the best zombie movies I’ve ever watched and arguably the best movie adaptation of a video game . If you drop the resident evil name , it’s still a banger
Which game is this an adaptation of? Because nothing in this movie is remotely similar to Resident Evil 1 so how can it be a good adaptation? You could change the name of this movie to the "Outbreak" and the name of the virus to something else and then any similarities to the game pretty much end.
I'm glad to know that all this sacrifices by the security system totally worth it and the virus was contained. Happy ending to the rest of the humanity 🤗🤗🤗
Also all those people were just sleepy and woke up a few moments later all okay 😊 Apart from the lady in the elevator. She had to see the chiropractor a few times before she was ready to get back to work...
0:43 - is the best moment. its a simple yet very powerful gesture, (tossing) 'releasing the virus' . the director mustve stressed to the actor, 'really TOSS IT' as it needs to be seen as a deliberate act. idk something about this moment was done very well in this movie
Such an underrated and awesome movie. One of the very few video game adaptations that was any good. Oh, and the AI was right to try to kill everyone. Look at what happened when the virus got out. Trading a few thousand souls for billions is distasteful but she was right to try to do it
@@adamsultana8380 Yes, she did. She gave false fire alarm instead of giving virus leak alarm. As AI can already analyzed the virus formula. But it is what it is.
It's probably easier to lure in younger, naive, just-starting-their-careers scientists rather than older, we've-been-working-in-this-field-for-decades, scientists who would know enough now to question certain shady practices when they see them.
What separates zombies from other monsters is obvious, but it's the fact that unlike bigfoot and other cryptids,you don't look for them,they look for you.
So this is where the Epsilon strain from the T-002 made canon in the videogame lore, the vapor slowly kills anybody unlucky to inhale it, then the aftereffects will kick in and reanimate the just dead corpse into a zombie; unfortunately, the Red Queen released poison gas inside the lock down area, killing everybody inside, so it just accelerated the effects of the virus
Scientist "HEY MAN LOOK I MADE THIS SUPER COOL LOOKING GLASS CONTAINER FOR THIS VIRUS THAT CAN END THE WORLD" Other scientist "...isn't it better to make it in a more secure container? like a stainless steel one?" Scientist "NAH. I HAD A HARD TIME MAKING IT WITH A NICE BLUE COLOR. PEOPLE NEED TO SEE THIS"
Liked the last scene with the elevator. It's partially right, as elevator technician, I can tell you when the elevator is dropped on safety when you release the brakes on the motor. There is another brakes on the cab. It's with probability of 90% it catches cab. But in order to take it off from the safety you need to move the elevator up and then on the top of the car than reset plank switch which is most ofthe time manual (well it is not manual. You have to reset governor switch and then move the elevator up but the governor switch is all the time manual). So you have to climb on the top of the car and then reset it in order to operate the elevator and there is another switch which is located on the governor that the governor overspeed switch. When elevator start to fall down it triggers then it triggers the e brake on the motor and then there's a plank switch which is triggered on the top of the car and then there's a safety breaks on the car itself. So there's some procedures that needs to be followed and one of the switches need to get a set of manually All the time. You can do it from the computer or from the program.(unless you are located in motor room and you have couple of jumper wires and you know what terminals I need to jump to and then the computer is going to see that those safety are not longer open so the circuit is closed and then you can move the car. But anyway, you need to manually jump those wires. You cannot jump from the controller because it's impossible. It's against all safety rules) And the last thing is when they try to get out from the elevator only when the elevator power is shut down. You can not open the doors of the cab completely. But don't forget you have another door from the hallway. So this is not only one door. There is no mechanism that can operate automatically the hall doors. So it's only the elevator door operator which located on the top of the car that opens the hall door with cab door. When she is trying to get out they going to have to try. There is no way you can open by hand cuz there is safety over there too and to get out from the from the car manually. It's almost impossible. There is no way they can do it. It's only technician that needs to have a special key open the whole door. Then he needs to reset the door operator either depress the button on the top of the car.
@@insideoutsideupsidedown2218 agree 100%, but, The new elevators like smart rise. They also have mechanical over speed switch on a governor, and they have a self resetting plank switch on the top of the car, so when you lift up the car it reset itself, but you have to go to the controller and press combination of two buttons to reset it from the controller. So it's not that simple anyways, I haven't seen any elevator for now that's has everything automatic safety system that can be resetted through the computer AKA controller remotely, so anyways there should be some mechanical. Whatever stuff that can be decided only by hand That's the safety. There's no sense to make the elevator that can be resettled from the controller automatically cuz controller may have a faulty program or full on chip. Anything may happen. That's how safety works man.
you do realize it's a movie right? Also of all the inaccuracies in this movie this is the one you focus on I am guessing you work in the elevator industry which is a good solid profession. However could you explain why the original Ottis elevator building was only one floor this is what I have heard would you know if this is correct I have heard this many times just wondering if this was true because if it is that's funny thank you.
Firstly, is a fricking mega lab down with a mega elevator that connects 3 buildings entrances. And secondly, the AI stop It on purpose probaly because to start the gas.
And yet the franchise tells us that these efforts were insufficient. Every one of these actions is justified. Indeed, the delays show incredible compassion and mercy. The Red queen tried so hard.
Well except when it didnt give any informations to the higher up about what to expect below, never quite understood that part. She knew that the company would send in a team to investigate, even if it might have failed she could have tried to convince them to seal the facility completely instead
@@louisazraels7072 good point, but perhaps she did and they were sent anyway and not informed. The company isn't a monolith and there is internal bickering?
The first time I watched Resident Evil, when I was 16-17 years old. After that, I watched this movie 34 times more. It was on DVD, and it was unrealistically cool and amazing to watch it again and again. It was the best movie you could show a girl at the end of a date at home 😎👍 Also, it was especially cool to scare girls in the most intense moments, because I knew the every second of this movie ❤
I can't believe this movie is 22 years old. It feels like yesterday.

Exactly! I think it's a great movie
First and second only, rest were just femdom fetish movies.
Critique
Exactly
Everyone loves this movie. It’s the others ones after this one that they don’t like.
I will forever remember this movie thanks to an odd experience.
Around the halfway point, someone pulled the fire alarm in the theater.
Imagine my shock when the lights and sirens began to sound, just like this intro.
I was terrified that an actual zombie outbreak had begun.
LoL ur tripping brah
You probably weren’t the only one😂
That never happened, you shouldn't lie
LOL THATS GNARLY
Weird things do happen. I went to see Terminator 2: Judgement Day at a theater.
It was such a mob scene I went to another theater. It was mobbed too but I went in to see it there anyway.
Lighting struck the first theater and blew out all the projectors and sound systems about an hour later.
It was August and thunderstorm weather. That would of been freaky watching a movie and the entire building shuts down.
>T virus escaped through ventilation
>It's a sealed room
Uhh...
It worked for Covid 19....
@@l337pwnage i was really referring more to the water escaping
@@VBunplugged757 Oh, I didn't mean to detract from the water issue, it just seemed like a funny comparison to throw covid in there.
I do appreciate the juxtaposition of those two movie lines and I'm sure writers didn't give it too much thought. Writers pretty much do the bare minimum to get you to buy a ticket and leave a good review somewhere.
That and there were no carriers of the virus at the time of the exposure like there was in the game. The carriers in the game were rats
Ventilation is at the top so water still collects.
This actress is so good at expressing horror. She was great in Interview with a Vampire and great here. She really sells the terror people feel in these situations.
Seeing my siblings play Resident Evil 2 as a kid and then renting this movie from Blockbuster back in the day was such an unforgettable experience. I love how they manage to make you care for these three groups of random people (office, elevator, and flooding labs) even though they wouldn't survive past this 7-minute scene.
I really agree with you
All these movies and games are getting you prepared for the real thing.

@maxisoulcaliber8941 we had a test run of the "real thing" in 2019 and we all would have died if it was a high mortality virus.
This movie came out when I was a 13. My friends and I asked our parents if we could go see Ice Age at the movies. After it finished, we snuck into a showing of Resident Evil that literally had just started. My god that was a mistake. That opening score haunts me to this day… and it’s sooooo good. I’ll have that memory forever. I vividly remember thinking how pretty the sister and the lady in the elevator were.
this how coronavirus started
Non carine come te però;)
@@stefanosmorgon1052 woah, I just seen what you meant by that haha.... Truth!!
This must be the Chinese Wuhan laboratory
I was 14 when this movie first came out and I first watched this movie on vhs long ago lolol. It's still a classic.
Headless woman got off pretty easy, the rest of them trapped in that elevator slowly turned into zombies in an enclosed space.
True
Shame she died, she was pretty
Unless she was reanimated
Elevators don't have air in them, back then, it was essentially a sealed room. If they survived the elevator fall they would of died of injuries etc
I still think the hive is the most scariest and claustrophobic feeling to the movie, makes you feel like you cant escape.
Truth to be told, these (almost) 7 minutes to me are the best part of all Resident Evil movies adaptations. I honestly fell more for everybody dying in this opening than for anyone that would come later anywhere. I felt the suffering of everyone in here. Since I work in office it makes me probably even more connected to see everyone just dying because they went to work on the "wrong day"... and just when Lisa is dying and asking the Red Queen to stop the halon... it feels so real to me. I know that Paul W.S. Anderson made many bad choices in Resident Evil series... but I would say that this opening would even work as a simple short movie. It just gets to me every time I see it.
I remember reading that the bathrooms in horror games are the scariest part of the buildings, because it's an actual real place where real people used to go before everything went wrong.
I guess you've pretty much summarised it up. We care because it's relatable.
I feel like the last movie was kind of a let down.
That they just wanted to end it.
BTW, the beginning of After Life, I thought was pretty awesome.
@replacesoundboard
I read that in a zombie outbreak, first responders would go first.
Police, fire, ambulances, hospitals.
After that, it's just trying to survive.
If they walk like in The Walking Dead, there is some hope.

Amazing how the first film of this series was so damn good. And how it was so disappointing to see every other film afterwords turn into a craptacular masterpiece.
i loved the first resident evil. they totally destroyed every single movie after that. and tv series! i wish someone would make a movie or series worth watching
First and Second movies are Best ones, maybe the thrid one too
Don't include the second movie with the others. It was good
They got rid of the sciency and high-tech vibe they had going on with the first movie. What really changed was the mystery horror aesthetic it had going on.
Nice movie... The AI tried hard to make sure all zombies in the building stayed inactive but humans did the opposite because of being clueless.
You would think their would be better protocol for something like this.
@@halogalaxy5612 could have put the building under lockdown and administer anti-virus to everyone. Than get a team in to question and find out what caused the leak OR just kill everyone causing tons of zombies and no answers to the people outside causing them to go into a super hazardous area and fck everything up .....
@Silver Shilling
True!
Now " I don't know why each employee" choose to work underground with a biological weapon. I'm curious myself especially jobs types and salaries. Also why would you walk in one way and no way out. Either your delusional or just gullible.
There was a bunch that could have been done differently. But the red queen was ordered to do things strictly so that the events played out in getting the virus to escape and end the world.
Tbh as the entry film of the series, this one holds up to this day. It's quite hard to make a game into a movie, but they actually did a fine job here. As a RE fan it did not disappoint me :)
Fully agree ! This is my favorite movie adaptation of a video game aside from the first mortal
Kombat movie . It’s a very solid zombie movie you’d never know it was resident evil
Honestly, seven looking back I still quite like this movie. All the sequels were utter garbage, but this one has always remained a favorite.
Why did the person throw the vial in the beginning I don't get it
@@Defender78 only thing I can think of is that he knew it would maybe trigger an emergency lockdown making it much easier to escape since no one would be able to leave and catch him
@@Defender78 I always looked at it as them trying to expose Umbrella. On the way out the door, trigger a massive outbreak of whatever that the company couldn't just hide.
I like how the T-Virus is airborne and then that never ever gets mentioned again for the entire series.
It's not even airborne, it's a straight up gas. Airborne viruses don't float around in the atmosphere like other air, airborne viruses are transmitted through sneezing and coughing, like flu.
This is something otherworldly science bullshit because even something tiny Ike a virus can't exist as a gas, it has to be suspended in a fluid like blood or snot. So the virus coming up off the floor and into the vents is completely impossible
I think everyone was infected which is why the AI locked everyone inside.
Better still why an airborne virus is contained in a room connected to the central ventilation system...
So did the t virus knock out and turn everyone into zombies right away except for the people on the elevator?. Or did it only affect a select few, leaving the remaining survivors to be hunted down... because later on when we see majority of the infected, they seem to be pretty cut up, bitten, and damaged.
They mention is multiple times in the last movie Final Chapter. The final cure they release is airborne genius.
1:29 the poor dogs could smell it and freak out, trying to warn the humans of the danger and begging to get out. 🥺
Yeah, they were barking to warn us that there's a virus breakout.
The fact that you relate to this scene demonstrates just how stupid you are. How can a dog smell a virus? Why does an bio lab have interconnected ventilation systems.

yes, so they can peacefully spread the virus 😂😂

No, just the first one was good, and al just thanks to the red queen. Zombies were acceptable, the super powers were dog sh1t. Red Queen is the MVP of this movie.

Years later I finally figured out that it wasn't the systems fault. One of the employees knew the system and temporarily bypassed the security. The Red Queen then made the decision to terminate everyone inside of the Hive, but the T-virus had already infected everyone, thus they all came back. Knowing this, the system sealed the Hive and the virus only escaped because Umbrella forced it open again in the next movie.

I always liked the first movie. Atmosphere is just awesome. Also the Red Queen is doing exactly what she's supposed to do - destroying virus in the air and isolating infected ones. They weren't supposed to unlock it in the first place.

This whole movie is like a “what not do do at work” orientation video and a “why your safety and security systems are ineffective” instructional video rolled into one.
This is pretty well written, actually, screenwriting-wise. The scene with the axe and the sealed room, the one where you hear from afar the screaming in the elevator. The last scene with the elevator head. Everything plays out to be really disturbing. Many people disliked the movie. I'm a RE fan and I think it was ok.
The writing is ok from a horror/action point of view. But, "This water isn’t going anywhere, it's a sealed room" doesn't fit with virus passed through ventilation ducts, a few minutes earlier.
@@Setmose thats true. But the guys in that room didnt became zombies, did they?

One problem. If the virus was ever airborne then surely it would infect through the air and not just with zombie bites. People would just toss vials instead of using guns when fighting. Which never happens in Resident evil games/films.
Armed human enemies? Just toss a vial. Why use bullets?
That virus actually came from the wet market next-door to the lab
Yep, then over in the sister lab in Boston, they just openly admit to doing exactly the same thing they denied the other lab did. Oh and the entire media establishment went along with it.
It's funny when people complain about mass media while having their snout in the trough of Hollywood movies, thinking they're documentaries.
@@StCreed Funny you should 'ask'.

Unions are useless unless you love more money taken from your cheque for no reason
Despite everything, we gotta give Paul W. S. Anderson some credit. He really is passionate about his projects created something special with this franchise. This movie is from 2002, which is pretty wild. A lot of good memories with my brother watching this.
No he is passionate about his wife. After Raccoon City the movie series just became about how he could make his wife appear as badass as possible while calling it Resident Evil. Just my opinion though, if you like the movies, more power to you.
@@handlerone5172 You're not wrong. I can understand your point and I think it's valid as well. As the series went on, it really became just a Milla Jovovich's showcase.

Okay, point of order here - Seems to me like filling up a room with sprinklers would take FOREVER! You ever tried filling up a swimming pool with a garden hose?
Not necessarily. Besides, there was all the time in the world to do that. They sped it up because they need to move the plot forward.
This film is a serious guilty pleasure of mine.
Depends on the potency of the sprinklers, really. They can be designed with the intent of flooding a room, in some cases.
Fire sprinklers can pump out water very fast. I’ve been in a building where only one fire sprinkler was set off, somehow it was faulty. It filled the entire area with water. They are much more powerful than people think.
Up to 40 gallons per minute from one sprinkler head. 30x30 room, probably 6 sprinklers, so, 240 gal per minute. Fill to knee height, 2 feet high, 1800 cubic feet, 13,500 gallons. So, it would take 56 minutes.
But most importantly... it's ridiculously faster than a garden hose, which can be as low as 6 gallons per minute.
@@AndersGreen Also multiply the theoretical amount of "garden hoses" by four.

Would be better if it had no ties with RE at all.
Which game is this an adaptation of? Because nothing in this movie is remotely similar to Resident Evil 1 so how can it be a good adaptation? You could change the name of this movie to the "Outbreak" and the name of the virus to something else and then any similarities to the game pretty much end.

Something I just noticed, everyone that works for this company is gorgeous
Such an underrated and awesome movie. One of the very few video game adaptations that was any good. Oh, and the AI was right to try to kill everyone. Look at what happened when the virus got out. Trading a few thousand souls for billions is distasteful but she was right to try to do it

haha struggling actors needing a quick buck for little work
What separates zombies from other monsters is obvious, but it's the fact that unlike bigfoot and other cryptids,you don't look for them,they look for you.
So this is where the Epsilon strain from the T-002 made canon in the videogame lore, the vapor slowly kills anybody unlucky to inhale it, then the aftereffects will kick in and reanimate the just dead corpse into a zombie; unfortunately, the Red Queen released poison gas inside the lock down area, killing everybody inside, so it just accelerated the effects of the virus
It prevented the virus to escape from the building with humans, though
Although it differs from the games, this is a rare case of something that...quite worked well. At least the two first movies.

The best and only RE movie with scary atmosphere.
Exactly
Liked the last scene with the elevator. It's partially right, as elevator technician, I can tell you when the elevator is dropped on safety when you release the brakes on the motor. There is another brakes on the cab. It's with probability of 90% it catches cab. But in order to take it off from the safety you need to move the elevator up and then on the top of the car than reset plank switch which is most ofthe time manual (well it is not manual. You have to reset governor switch and then move the elevator up but the governor switch is all the time manual). So you have to climb on the top of the car and then reset it in order to operate the elevator and there is another switch which is located on the governor that the governor overspeed switch. When elevator start to fall down it triggers then it triggers the e brake on the motor and then there's a plank switch which is triggered on the top of the car and then there's a safety breaks on the car itself. So there's some procedures that needs to be followed and one of the switches need to get a set of manually All the time. You can do it from the computer or from the program.(unless you are located in motor room and you have couple of jumper wires and you know what terminals I need to jump to and then the computer is going to see that those safety are not longer open so the circuit is closed and then you can move the car. But anyway, you need to manually jump those wires. You cannot jump from the controller because it's impossible. It's against all safety rules) And the last thing is when they try to get out from the elevator only when the elevator power is shut down. You can not open the doors of the cab completely. But don't forget you have another door from the hallway. So this is not only one door. There is no mechanism that can operate automatically the hall doors. So it's only the elevator door operator which located on the top of the car that opens the hall door with cab door. When she is trying to get out they going to have to try. There is no way you can open by hand cuz there is safety over there too and to get out from the from the car manually. It's almost impossible. There is no way they can do it. It's only technician that needs to have a special key open the whole door. Then he needs to reset the door operator either depress the button on the top of the car.
Depends on the age if the elevator
@@insideoutsideupsidedown2218 agree 100%, but, The new elevators like smart rise. They also have mechanical over speed switch on a governor, and they have a self resetting plank switch on the top of the car, so when you lift up the car it reset itself, but you have to go to the controller and press combination of two buttons to reset it from the controller. So it's not that simple anyways, I haven't seen any elevator for now that's has everything automatic safety system that can be resetted through the computer AKA controller remotely, so anyways there should be some mechanical. Whatever stuff that can be decided only by hand That's the safety. There's no sense to make the elevator that can be resettled from the controller automatically cuz controller may have a faulty program or full on chip. Anything may happen. That's how safety works man.
you do realize it's a movie right? Also of all the inaccuracies in this movie this is the one you focus on I am guessing you work in the elevator industry which is a good solid profession. However could you explain why the original Ottis elevator building was only one floor this is what I have heard would you know if this is correct I have heard this many times just wondering if this was true because if it is that's funny thank you.

Right, it’s still creepy.
Name song ?
The best zombie franchise ever made.
Pretty good biohorror movie. Preys on topical fears of mass virus, corporate power and AI. And 18 years later it all came true.
Yes definitely movies tell the future !! Fiction to truth. 💯
I must have missed the zombie apocalypse.

But when you realize the Red Queen is just trying to save lives... In her own way..
The rest of the World. And than the special forces Team showed up an ruined everything XD
She tried to do what had to be done
The one reason why everything should not be automated
And yet the franchise tells us that these efforts were insufficient. Every one of these actions is justified. Indeed, the delays show incredible compassion and mercy. The Red queen tried so hard.
Well except when it didnt give any informations to the higher up about what to expect below, never quite understood that part.
She knew that the company would send in a team to investigate, even if it might have failed she could have tried to convince them to seal the facility completely instead
@@louisazraels7072 good point, but perhaps she did and they were sent anyway and not informed. The company isn't a monolith and there is internal bickering?
I love how many movies think that elevators are plummeting death boxes any time a cable malfunctions.
They're not???

この映画はトラウマシーンだらけで未だに忘れられない
Still traumatizing af after all these years.
The first time I watched Resident Evil, when I was 16-17 years old. After that, I watched this movie 34 times more. It was on DVD, and it was unrealistically cool and amazing to watch it again and again. It was the best movie you could show a girl at the end of a date at home 😎👍
Also, it was especially cool to scare girls in the most intense moments, because I knew the every second of this movie ❤
Как называется фильм ??
@@zapravdu1981 Название - Обитель зла. Режиссер Пол Андерсен. В главной роли Мила Йовович.
Wow, 20+ years later and it’s still compelling an intro to the franchise. 😎
