Yesterday we watched Resident Evil on Blu-ray. A quite nice zombie flick. A fair amount of gore without being totally excessive like some B-movies on the theme. Naturally the plot of these kind of movies are a bit contrived but it still hung together reasonably.
The film was also a success at the box office, despite the usual panning by the “critics”. It went well enough to merit three followers which we of course also got and which is sitting and waiting in our queue of pending films to watch.
Picture quality was very good, especially taking into account that the movie was from 2002 and thus made before HD became widely available. Obviously it got a proper treatment and not just a half-arsed re-transfer of the DVD master. The DTS-HD Master Audio sound track was also up to expectations with good surround effects and appropriate use of the LFE channel.
In all 1 hour 40 minutes of solid, action filled, entertainment.
