Trivia:

Like in the games, after something is switched on/off, something else happens elsewhere. When the Red Queen is deactivated for the first time, all doors elsewhere are opened.
Milla Jovovich's character's name, Alice, is only revealed during the credits.
When Matt's arm begins to mutate there are no digital effects until the very end.
The pass code for opening the door in dining hall B, the one Kaplan has trouble remembering, is 04031965. Writer/Director Paul W.S. Anderson was born on 04 March 1965.
Milla Jovovich did all of her own stunts except the pipe jump in the sewer scene. She used a stunt double in that scene, because her agent thought she would get strangled by the hanging wires.
The crew had a hard time dealing with the dogs who kept licking the blood and meat off themselves.
All the minor cuts and bruises on Milla Jovovich's character are real. No make-up was applied.

Summary: A special military unit fights a powerful, out-of-control supercomputer and hundreds of scientists who have mutated into flesh-eating creatures after a laboratory accident.

Review:

I know this movie is super cheesy, but I love it so much. It's a great adventure ride with twists and turns, zombies and monsters, and even some human monsters. The first appearance of the zombies in the "cafeteria" is very scary and jumpy. I love it! The movie starts to fall apart a little with the appearance of the "lickers." I know that that zombies mutant in the video games, but these were a bit cheesy looking. Even with that, I love this movie way too much.

Best Bits:

Red Queen: You're all going to die down here.
[Alice points her gun at Rain] Rain: I'm not dead yet. [Rain takes the gun from Alice] Rain: I think I'll take this back. Alice: I could kiss you, you bitch!
Red Queen: I've been a bad, bad girl.
Rain: All the people that were working here are dead. Spence: Well, that isn't stopping them from walking around.
Red Queen: I can give you the code, but first you must do something for me. Alice: What? Red Queen: One of your group has been infected. I require her life for the code.
