Analysis

The Andromeda Strain. Dir. Mikael Salomon. Perf. Benjamin Bratt, Christa Miller, Louis Ferreira. Universal Studios, 2008.

Resident Evil is similar to The Andromeda Strain, that younger viewers may have seen on the Sci Fi channel.  The plot is a virus that is being covered up by the government.  The government has created a deadly virus in space, and when the satellite crashes in the remote Utah town of Piedmont, people start dying.  Dr. Jeremy Stone leads a crack team of scientists as they work feverishly in a secret, state-of-the-art laboratory to discover what has killed the citizens of Piedmont, and why two survivors seem to have been immune.  Not realizing that the government had developed the virus and now wants a cure so it can be used in battle.  Which is the same storyline used in Resident Evil, except by a corporation.
