Review: I gave up on video games a few years ago when I got stuck inside some sort of magical tree playing The Legend of Zelda on Nintendo 64. I longed for the simplicity of the original game, but I realized there was no going back. I tell you this because you might want to know that I've never played Resident Evil. I haven't watched anyone else play it either. I've seen parts of the first movie, but it was a bootleg playing in a creepy blood donation clinic, and I wasn't really focusing. That's another story for another day. The point is that I came into Resident Evil: Apocalypse with very little information.

I've found a new appreciation for zombie movies since watching Night of the Living Dead. I don't know if it was intentional, but I felt there were a few shoutouts to that film. In both movies, people steal abandoned trucks! Both movies have children turning into zombies! In both movies, people get attacked by zombies! Okay, that's all that comes to mind. This is one of my most roundabout reviews ever. I'm just not going to tell you what I thought about this movie. I'm going to tell you about my history with video games and compare this to another movie, and then I'm stopping.

P.S. You probably don't want to see this movie, unless you love the game or zombies. Plot? Dialogue? Character? Screw all of those things! We've got some zombies to fight.
