It's been many years since I've seen this movie but I'm working on making it a part of my collection. Basically, there's an eerie, spooky, creepy pond that perks a boy's curiosity. The boy, Cody, starts investigating an old legend about "Donkegin" and/or "frog dreamings," all this I don't quite remember but I do remember certain parts as being incredibly intriguing. As a kid, and even today, I've always been fascinated with lakes and ponds, always wondering what's at the bottom. I believe they even get some underwater footage at some point when Cody wears an old-fashioned dive suit! This is an excellent adventure movie that's great for the whole family! Highly recommended!

Now I know why "the unemployed critic" is unemployed. There are way too many people like this person out there critiquing every piece of film that comes their way. See my discussion board post "Plot Holes--Who Cares?!" for more details. Brief summary? This movie did all it was meant to do---entertain. Maybe they should put a warning label on the DVD when it's released, "Warning: This is not an Oscar-worthy film." C'mon folks, clearly this is no "American Beauty" so just take it for what it's worth and enjoy it! There's nothing wrong with this one!

Regardless of whether or not you are a die hard Resident Evil fan, you'll love this movie. There truly is nothing I can say bad about this movie...it has the perfect mix of great acting, special effects, and most importantly, sToRyLiNe! I saw this movie a couple of days ago and haven't stopped raving about it since! This will be in my DVD collection ASAP! In all fairness, I'm not upset that some didn't like it, but I can only guess someone wouldn't like this movie for two main reasons. 1) If you worship the Resident Evil game series and feel that the movie should have followed the game more closely, and 2) If you don't like this genre of movies entirely. (ie: Aliens, Dawn of the Dead, Event Horizon, etc)

I'm even amazed at how thrilled I am with this movie but I am SUPER THRILLED! Milla Jovovich does an awesome job as she's so versatile and beautiful she can conform to almost any movie role. All in all, if you like zombie action movies and are willing to let the movie have some creative differences from the games, then you will absolutely LOVE this movie. Forget the title, it stands alone as one hell of an action/horror/sci-fi film.

Have I said enough now? ;) Can't wait for the sequel! Go see Resident Evil today!!! ;)
