Zach Cregger's Resident Evil Surpasses Sonic the Hedgehog 3 to Become Highest-Rated Video Game Movie of All Time
The reboot reunites Zach Cregger with Austin Abrams and draws a 91% audience score, though some critics say Bryan’s arc falls short.
- Filmmaker Zach Cregger's Resident Evil reboot earned a 96 percent critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, with the Sony Pictures film starring Austin Abrams as a medical courier trapped during a monster outbreak.
- Adapted from the Capcom video games, the reboot serves as a fresh start for the franchise, following Bryan, an outmatched courier in Raccoon City, who attempts to survive a chaotic night.
- IGN's Tom Jorgensen noted the film "ably adapts the spirit" of the games, while The New York Times' Brandon Yu praised it as "as funny as it is jumpy."
- Frank Scheck wrote that Abrams' "shaggy appeal" as the everyman hero is a "key factor in the film's success," as the movie balances dark humor with horror.
- Responding to online pushback, Cregger told The Hollywood Reporter earlier this week he hopes fans "feel like this movie is paying homage to the games," as the film maintains a 91 percent audience score.
