10/10 * Wieder ein top Film. Ich liebe Resident Evil und die Schauspielerin ist sehr hübsch und sie schauspielert so gut!!!! Sehenswert auf jeden Fall. Gibt nichts zu meckern.
Witt injects the film with plenty of razzle-dazzle on the visual side, but the pace deadens whenever the zombies are offscreen or the characters open their mouths long enough to do anything more than grunt.
Not without its moments of elemental dread, Apocalypse is also obviously padded, too long on action, and painfully short on irony. The satirical element still packs a minor jolt.
Fans of the video game will doubtless love it all but for true fans of the gnashing dead – and we count ourselves among them – this is strictly second-tier terror.
It's just too bad that almost nothing in the movie seems original. The "Thriller" video may have featured hokey dancing zombies, but at least someone was making an effort.
Like so many movies with a keypad for a brain, Resident Evil: Apocalypse is another exercise in making us feel the irritation associated with having to stand behind some game hack for our turn to play.
great movie and best adaption to the games but also with a refresh story and good characters and best portrayals that ive seen on a movie thats based on a game of a dying series
The second movie of the franchise. It continues after the events of the prequel and uses the Resident Evil 2 and 3 games for inspiration while not being an adaptation of those. It continues the story of Alice who awakens in a hospital and escapes. Meanwhile Raccoon City is quarantined by the Umbrella Cooperation as the virus escapes their secret facility. They are in full damage control mode and want to silence all witnesses and destroy all evidence. Because Alice is a threat they send a newly developed enemy after her who will become her Nemesis;-). For me this movie is a hit and miss. Resident Evil 2 and 3 were excellent games back then and helped to shape the survival horror videogame genre and this franchise. I like that they use many ideas, themes and aspects of these games. My complaint is that they should have used more. Many of us thought that these 2 games are excellent choices for an adaptation. Another point is that this started the “What the f*** is Umbrella doing questions. From movie to movie their plans make less sense and become something maybe Nostradamus could arcive as the events and outcomes are not predictable nor should be included into a strategy. Also they start using characters from the games that are different in irritating ways. For example Jill Valentine is far less competent while being the same character. Resident Evil 3 Jill Valentine would do really well in this setting and does not need help. Carlos and Nicolai are not up to their counterparts. The Nemesis is nothing against his menacing counterpart that haunts you. Gamers still feel terror when they hear his deep scratching voice saying “Staaars”. What saves this for me are the actors. Again Milla Jovovich is great as Alice, Sienna Guillory is still a good Jill Valentine that I could imagine in her own movie. I like also the Ashford family here. The story is engaging but a bit foreseeable. I could strangely predict many twists and outcomes. This might sound to negative as I still enjoyed this movie. It is not a mistake or even bad. However it is also nothing you will remember often or discus with friends in “movies we could / should / must rewatch” arguments. Overall a solid sequel and worth watching but not remembering.
Resident Evil Apocalypse: Now this was not as bad. Well I was half right because I’m just getting in to spoilers now when Nemesis comes on the screen he delivers big time and he actually looks good because I guarantee someone is in a suit but that doesn’t explain why this look bad. There is so much slow motion camera movement looks gross and the CGI on the Lickers again look even worse now. But Alice’s character is somehow even worse because she got infected with the T-Virus and that makes her like superhuman why. But to the films credit their are three things that are good they brought Nemesis and Jill Valentine in the movie and the black dude or just the comic relief he was actually hilarious. Overall not as bad as the first but still bad if you want to watch it go ahead just prepare for the most **** ending of a life time.
