Critics Consensus
Packing unforgettable scares into a sleek runtime while Austin Abrams' crack comedic timing provides crucial levity, Zach Cregger's Resident Evil is a propulsive tribute to the pleasure and terror of playing a truly spooky video game.

It's a fun movie. I actually found myself saying exactly what the protagonist was saying at certain points. He's so perfectly just 'Mr. Everyman' and in over his head that you can't help but laugh.

I think anyone that has played a RE game and spoken to their screen at certain moments will enjoy this movie. It's a GOOD video game movie.

Didn't like the ending.

    I have heard that the ending is the only real negative point. Which is a shame, because you come away from it with that as your final thought/feeling about it.

    Still keen to see it though

    Counterpoint: The ending was inevitable. Cregger claimed he was sticking with canon to some degree, and while he deviated more than folks expected... we already know what happened in Raccoon City. I'm glad he ended it the way he did.
