Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
Perfect cast and a good story
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
View MoreI am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
View MoreYes there were some flaws but what movie doesn't. I I wish they would have actually stuck with the Movie HD look instead of messing with the 3D. I feel like the once that happened I felt betrayed. Like why would play a movie like this and then jump to the 3D movies was a horrible Idea. I wish the franchise would go back to this type of movie, it felt more Authentic
View MoreResident Evil Apocalypse is a loose adaptation of the video game Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, and/or a cross between Resident Evil 2 & Resident Evil: Nemesis.Alice wakes up in the Raccoon City lab (that was referenced at the end of the first movie) and finds herself in an abandoned, post-apocalyptic city called Raccoon City. She meets several people along the way (some survivors, some spec-ops like the first movie) and they try to find a way out of the city together (the government is going to nuke Raccoon City to contain/kill the infected/the T-Virus). Towards the end of the movie, Alice must face a "boss" (like in the video games) called "The Nemesis". He is virtually indestructible; she finds out it is one of the people from the first movie (Michael) and he ends up sacrificing himself to save the group from a helicopter crash. The final scene reveals that a man named Doctor Isaacs cloned Alice (this will come into play in the next movie).FINAL VERDICT: Unlike the first movie, this one was pretty accurate to the games (in my opinion); so...if you like action movies, zombies, bad-ass girls, or all of the above AND the Resident Evil games, you'll like this movie!
View MoreTrapped in Raccoon City, Alice joins a group of survivors to fight their way out of the zombie-infested city to find a young girl at the heart of stopping the plague before the entire city is destroyed.This is an immensely fun and exciting effort. One of the better parts to this is the incredibly frenetic action that utterly overwhelms here based on all sorts of different measures. Paced more like an Action than film than a Horror film, this one has a nearly continuous series of attacks, shootouts, firefights, brawls and chases that all combined together that makes this an unrelenting and non-stop Action film, getting going right from the start and never letting up. From the madness of the barricade to leave the city, the troops' firefight with the creatures along the burning city streets and the church hideout, it really contains a lot of action and shootouts quite early and runs through them into the ecstatic final half. These contain even more impressive action scenes as the first encounter with the hulking humanoid monstrosity wielding rocket launchers, mini-guns and more in a frantic, exciting shootout, a daring battle with mutant dogs in the school and the impressive shootout to allow them to take out the heli-pad which turns into a blazing action scene full of brawling, hand-to-hand combat and a further shoot-out among the security center with a second helicopter gets a lot of exciting moments packed into this. With all this action it really does put a lot more positives in here as this makes for continuous special effects showcasing the ravenous zombies and deformed mutants throughout here, and that also puts in a healthy amount of blood and gore to be had. About the only part here that's not really all that interesting is the finale which tries to go far too overt for its own good rather than just letting the good it's established stay in the forefront. Instead, this one seems as if all the different conspiracies and actions against the main city here are simply to keep the storyline going for future films rather than serving any special point for this one. That's still not enough from making this one a wholly enjoyable and entertaining watch.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Adult Language, Brief Nudity and children-in-jeopardy.
View MoreAfter surviving the horrors of The Hive and managing to escape, Alice (Mila Jovovich) discovers that the T-Virus has found it's way into Raccoon City resurrecting the dead. On her route to try and get out the city, she comes across other bands of survivors and they join forces to try and escape before the Umbrella Corporation resorts to extreme measures in "cleansing" the city. To do this, though, they first need to rescue the daughter of Dr. Ashford (the creator of the T-Virus) who is still within in the city limits. This will be made all the more harder, however, as the Umbrella Corporation have sent in a formidable opponent to stop them...Nemesis.Resident Evil: Apocalypse is a pretty decent sequel to the enjoyable Resident Evil movie, and is made much more enjoyable with the introduction of Nemesis. Thankfully, Nemesis makes more than just one solitary appearance as he is such a formidable character & presence (just like Pyramid Head in Silent Hill), and I'd maybe go as far as to say that if it wasn't for that character then the movie may have lacked a wee bit even with all the other action.The action in the movie is pretty relentless from start to finish with a good few impressive action scenes, two of which being the church scene involving Alice and three Lickers, and the action following the scene where Alice runs face first down a 200 foot building.The story line continues on from the 1st movie, but never really develops much until the final few scenes which lead onto the 3rd film, so don't expect much from this sequel story-wise.The acting is a wee bit dire in some places, mainly from Sienna Guillory who plays Jill Valentine, but thankfully it's not bad enough to actually throw you off from watching the film.All in all, like I say, this is a decent sequel and even if you're not familiar with the game series, it's still an enjoyable action flick.
