Movie Reviews

Resident Evil (2026) opens at 96% Tomatometer, 90% Popcornmeter

What happened

Rotten Tomatoes lists Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil (2026) at 96% on the Tomatometer from 142 critic reviews and 90% on the Popcornmeter from 500+ verified audience ratings as the film opens wide Sept. 18, 2026. The page synopsis follows Bryan (a medical courier) through one collapsing night of survival-horror chaos; the rating is R for strong bloody violence, language, and gore, runtime about 1h 30m, from Columbia / Constantin / PlayStation Productions. That is the Movie Reviews filing: live scores, opening day, and the critics’ temperature check.

RT’s first-reviews roundup (Christopher Campbell, Sept. 16) summarizes the early critical line as pure escapist fun — briskly paced, surprisingly funny, and true to the spirit of the games — with multiple writers calling it the best Resident Evil movie and among the stronger live-action game adaptations. The Tomatometer page is the scoreboard; the editorial package is the consensus color. Neon green and tomato red, white gutters, cartoon characters only — never likenesses of living actors.

Opening weekend is when scoreboards matter most to casual browsers. Readers get 96% / 142 reviews, 90% / 500+ verified, the R rating and 90-minute runtime, Cregger’s Weapons/Barbarian hook, the Sept 18 wide date, and the “brisk, funny, true to the games” consensus beat — a Movies comic, not a spoiler reel.

Why it matters

A 96% critic open with a matching-strong audience meter is the rare reboot that arrives already loud. For a franchise with a long, uneven screen history, that consensus line — funny without mocking the games — is the story under the percentages. Color on the twin meters. White gutters. Readers get Tomatometer, Popcornmeter, critic consensus as reported, and the RT URL on the page.

Conclusion

Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil (2026) opens Sept. 18 with a 96% Tomatometer (142 reviews) and 90% Popcornmeter (500+ verified), with early critics calling it brisk, funny, and true to the games’ spirit, per Rotten Tomatoes. Cartoon only. Source: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/resident_evil_2026
