Resident Evil is a low effort mess. Returning to the origin story was a nice idea, but that is the only positive to find here. The confined narrative of people escaping an isolated town overrun by zombies is fun. Also, the ticking clock element could've helped had it been utilized more. However, the execution of Resident Evil is sloppy. For starters, the writing is horribly transparent. Every bit of dialogue reeks of inauthenticity as characters tell the audience how to feel. Additionally, there's no falling action because the characters didn't arc. Meanwhile, the performances are plagued with overacting and wooden protagonists.
Furthermore, the filmmaking is ineffective. First, the visuals of Resident Evil are ugly because the lighting is too dark, the colors are drab, and the framing is chaotic. These misguided attempts to be scary only accomplish unpleasant imagery. Next, the pacing is frantic, and incorrect scenes are emphasized. More time is spent developing side characters than main protagonists. Lastly, the production design is pathetic. Horror depends on look and feel, yet everything here is generic and silly. Plus, the overused CGI undercuts viewer connection. Collectively, this makes Resident Evil an unredeemable waste of time.
