Resident Evil: Apocalypse Reviews

Personally, I was positively surprised by the 1st intallment. I mean, I really loved the game, at least the first one which has always been one of my all-time favorite games so I was really glad when the movie adaptation was actually pretty decent. Of course, it wasn't entirely faithfull but the mood was pretty good and reminded me of the game which was a really good thing. Before watching the sequel, I was again pretty sketpical and, unfortunately, this time around, the whole thing was not really impressive, I'm afraid. I mean, it was a good move to move the action into a whole city and it was also nice that they added Jill Valentine but it wasn't nearly enough to make this movie interesting to me. I mean, the plot was just a really standard zombie invasion and I was rather bored during the whole thing. Sure, the action scenes were allright and Milla Jovovich really kicked ass again, absolutely, but I always find this action stuff rather pointless if I don't care about the story or the characters involved. To conclude, it is not really bad at all but it is still pretty average and I don't think it is really worth a look.

This sequel is much more enjoyable than the first film. This is rare for me, to enjoy the 2nd film more than the first. Action is jacked up more and more importantly no Michelle Rodriguez :p. Milla as Alice is an interesting actor, whom has great physical acting and has a lovely face as well.

When Oded Fehr went on the screen, you know something was going down..I enjoy his roles in various films. The cast was just more improved and thought out. The plot was there and not retarded pr typical. They went the correct direction with this series so far. The graphics for the zombies and zombie dogs were killer! There are a few ridiculous lines, as expected in a sci-fi film but overall I really liked it! I look forward to the 3rd film and I'm weary about the 4th as many do not like it at all hahaha

"My name is Alice. And I remember everything."

If you want a movie which makes you feel as if you are watching a video game minus the yellow colored hues aka 300, try taking a peek at this film. The events probably take off a few hours after the first one, when Dr. Isaacs (voice of Jason Isaacs in the first film and Iain Glen in the second) orders that the Hive should be opened in order for him to find out what happened in the underground facility. Unfortunately, those ignorant bastards let out the remaining undead workers (and, as we see later, even a few Lickers), thus causing the virus to spread further into the city. Due to this, the Umbrella Corporation has forced an immediate lockdown and quarantine of Raccoon City, and they take steps in evacuating their high priority members, such as Dr. Charles Ashford (Harris), who initially refused to come with the company's men until he has found his daughter, Angela (Sophie Vavasseur). Umbrella has activated Alice (Jovovich), taking her out of her catatonic state and allowing her to roam the streets of Raccoon City. It is noted that Alice seems to have grown extraordinary powers while in her slumber. Enter Jill Valentine (Guillory), a disgraced S.T.A.R.S. member who seems to have a good grasp at what she's dealing with (she repeatedly instructs people to "Shoot 'em in the head."). In another part of the city, another S.T.A.R.S. member, Carlos Olivera (Fehr) has been suffering losses in his team. He and two of his teammates see a helicopter belonging to the Umbrella Corporation stop at a nearby mall and attempt to attract its attention. However, all they find are huge metal cases carrying heavy firearms, and after their teammate reanimates and bites Olivera in the arm, they head for another part of town. Valentine, her friend Peyton (Adoti), and former Raccoon 7 reporter Terri Morales (Holt), hide out in a chapel and are attacked by a couple of Lickers and are rescued by Alice. They receive a call from Dr. Ashford, who offers them a way out of the city if they find his daughter, who is hiding in her school. There, they meet up with Olivera, who has also been given the same offer. Now it is up to them to battle their way out of the city, which will be bombed with a nuclear device in order to obliterate every trace of the infection. The movie may not have been as good as the first, but it still gave me a sense of continuity based on the events which unfurled in the previous film. I also loved how Guillory portrayed Jill Valentine; I may not be an expert on the game, but I could tell that her portrayal was right on. :))) Still a good film to watch.
