Alright, I won't compare it to the video game source material.
as a movie, it's mediocre. Dull story, alright action, and poor pacing. It's a zombie flick, so if you really like zombie horror/action, then you'll probably find it a decent watch, though nothing compared to the Romero masterpieces in zombie cinema.
But seeing how you seem like a hard critic on films, I believe that it's not worth seeing. And this is coming from a guy who has low standards in what to expect films.
BAN HIM! BAN HIM!

Zombie? Where is that delete button again?
Actually I'm sort of looking for a movie, that's why I got interested. I saw this movie on tv a few weeks ago, or the start of it at least. But I was tired and I went to bed, even though it looked decent. Trouble is I don't know the title.
Here's how it started from what I recall. It's a futuristic sci fi kind of story, utopian world. Guy wakes up in a room that's totally white. Almost no furniture at all. And it's not a house, it's kind of like a compound, where each person has their own room/apartment. So he wakes up and he gets these personalized messages on these lcd screens all around the house. Goes to the bathroom, the message says something about what state of health he's in. Everything around him is either white or metallic (don't recall which). So he gets ready for the day, goes out and he's in this hallway with a bunch of people walking by. The idea you get from this is that the whole world is like this one huge building where everyone lives, people have the same outfits, everyone is assigned to some specific job etc.
Ring a bell?

Fred-
I was going to post a bit of a low blow comment to your post just now, but decided I was too much of a gentleman to do so
I think the movie in question is called The Island.

re: Resident Evil
It's not a bad movie actually. It's a bit obvious that it's based on a game in some parts, they're like action sequences in a game you have to go through. But the idea of the evil supercorporation is executed quite nicely. The biggest problem is that they had to invent some kind of nemesis, and the zombie idea is just sooooo boooring. Always the same crap, someone gets bitten, conceals it from the rest, becomes a zombie. Dear god how original.
Some Matrix-like sequences in there too. And Milla Jovovitch is quite persuasive in her role. Been waiting for this one since her unforgettable performance in 5th Element no doubt. She has this menacing kind of look that they use all the time to signal that some kickass is coming up, it's quite cool ehehehe
