Resident Evil: Apocalypse

I wouldn't call this a brilliant movie, but it certainly kept me watching from start to finish. Michelle Rodriguez's character is replaced by another kick-arse heroine to work alongside Jovovich's Alice. There's also a new super-evil dude to contend with. Naturally the biggest baddies of all are the people who work for the Umbrella corporation! And, man, those zombie dogs are just freaky!

In this movie we get to know a bit more about how the T-Virus came to be, and get a new perspective on how it can be used for good and not just bad. Naturally, though, it's mostly all bad!

As usual, there's a lot of action and a lot of death. And the Umbrella Corporation sure is good at twisting the facts of the truth. I'm intrigued to know what happens next.

So I'm ready to watch movie #3.

The feral infected are lurkin' in the dark, lips pared back carried by a silenced heart, corrupted by a virus that reanimates the dead, the only escape option is a bullet to the head. Nemesis awoken and is armed to the eye teeth, mutated from a human that's still carried underneath, Umbrella has its fingers on the pulse and in all pies as a thermonuclear device is delivered from the skies. Apocalypse or Holocaust, Armageddon take your pick, can't believe a virus could escape and make everybody sick, or that politicians tell us lies and mislead us with intent, and do things to their public without gathering their consent.

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*

Lethal megababe Alice, (Milla Jovovich), is back. The Hive gets reopened for some reason. The zombies take advantage of the human's blunder and pour out into Racoon City. Alice and another hot chick decide to bring the war to the zombies. The rest of the movie is one long fight scene with zombie dogs, slobbering creatures and a big monster with a rocket launcher all wanting to waste the killer babe squad.

While "Resident Evil 2" is light on plot, it is heavy on kills, explosions and various other forms of mayhem. I definitely felt I got my money's worth. There are really only two differences between this movie and the original "Resident Evil". One, this movie introduces a new monster, the Nemesis. It's a big monster with bad teeth wearing an overcoat and wielding a rocket launcher. The other difference is that they added another hot woman to the zombie killing mix. Alice needed some babe backup. Overall, I was pleased with this one. It's worth a look.

Resident Evil Apocalypse is not a bad follow up to the action packed original. The story picks up right where the first movie left off but also introduces new characters Jill Valentine and Carlos Olivera. The zombie outbreak is now overtaking Raccoon City and the government along with the Umbrella Corporation is detaining the citizens while trying to cover up the truth. My favorite part of this movie is the realistic depiction of all-out war with the undead as the police and army try to hold off an ever growing horde of zombies lumbering toward the city. This film has great special effects, action-packed battle scenes and halfway decent acting; all of which make up for a predictable plot line and an overall lack of gore. If you enjoyed the first Resident Evil I recommend checking out the second installment as well. I'm sure you'll find it pretty entertaining.

A film that directly continues the first part of the saga known as Resident Evil.

The casting is excellent, Sienna Guillory is the right choice for the role of Jill Valentine. Alice, Jill and Carlos fight not only against time, but also against a formidable opponent called Nemesis.

Nemesis looks great, quite sinister and scary. The make-up and special effects team did a great job.

The film is solidly directed, although the fight scenes could have been better, but overall it's not bad at all. Carlos Olivera is a fun character, Oded Fehr portrayed him excellently.

Milla Jovovich is always excellent as Alice.

What is specific about these kinds of films, and especially about this Resident Evil franchise, is that you can watch it many times, and each time it is more fun. It is designed to entertain the viewer and it certainly succeeds in that.

The movie is definitely worth watching, it's fun, with solid action and a tense plot.
