They pretty much made the most "by the numbers" cliche, stupid dumb action movie with this.

This could have easily been a Michael Bay production.... (down to the annoying little girl and the slow mo bullets)

I used to think the American Resident Evil movies were crap, (at least after RE 3)
But this takes the cake. What a piece of crap this was... Seriously, wtf were they thinking?

This is probably worse than most Hollywood action movies that have come out yet. This makes stuff like Expendables look like a masterpiece.

The thing I hated the most was how stupid the characters were (Besides Claire and Leon) and how cheesy the action was. This was seriously Just as bad as those Uwe Boll movies (But just in CGI)

I can't believe no one working on this ever stop to think and said "This is just crap"
This was embarrassing to watch, I was embarrassed for them... They could have done anything they wanted and they do an Airport movie? WTF? what The HELL?

One ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.

I think calling it a typical, cliche, and dumb action movie with zombies is pretty much bang-on. There aren't any elements that make it stand out, but I still managed to enjoy it, somehow. It's one of those movies that I can manage to enjoy when my brain is turned off, haha. That said, I think it's a tad harsh to say it's as bad as Boll's movies, especially House of the Dead. I watched House of the Dead with a friend, and it's not often that I come across a movie that feels like an assault on the senses. The soundtrack and the poorly spliced-in game footage in that movie still haunts my dreams. But hey, to each their own; and here's hoping you found a better movie to wash away the embarrassment this one caused you. I think we can all agree that it sucks when a movie manages to make you feel embarrassed, after all.

Hahaha to be honest... A huge portion of the movie is so HORRIBLE that I can't even know where to start. Even though I dislike every single movies made which carry the Resident Evil name. I'm a fan of the video-games and feel like the movies simply used the title of a successful game just to make money out of it. Still to this day I can't really see any connection.

That being said, House of the Dead takes the top of the cake. XD my god this movie almost made me blind.
