Resident Evil, the latest installment in the long-running video game franchise, has been praised for its simplicity and effectiveness, marking a departure from previous adaptations that were often criticized for being too complex and lacking in fun.

The new Resident Evil is a stark contrast to previous adaptations, which were often described as abhorrent and a waste of time. This time, the film focuses on a single character and a straightforward journey, making it feel almost small in the best possible way.

For a movie with a larger scale, Resident Evil feels surprisingly small, which is exactly what makes it work. The film wastes little time getting started and rarely provides an opportunity to breathe, according to Comingsoon.
