"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.
