  This film is a major disappointment after having watched the first Resident Evil movie. The only positive thing that comes to mind from this movie is that some of the effects had improved since the first film. The plot to this film is very uninteresting and practically useless to the progression of the series. I think if this film was done by the same director as the first film it could have been better but it's a long-shot.

  An enormous garbage with terrible direction, stupid characters, lame dialogues. Just about everything is awful in this unoriginal zombie movie sequel with no imagination. It feels and tastes like a video game, only it's the director, not us, who gets to play and have the fun.

  17/11/2010 (DVD)<br/><br/>Here we go again and this time, let's take it to the streets! A pretty good sequel with more action and mayhem than the first. The infection from the first flick has now spread to the city and now we have a nice "Zombie Apocalypse" in our hands.<br/><br/>Again I'd like to say that it is more "sci-fi" than horror but it is still a good enough watch for me and my liking and I enjoyed it. "Milla Jovovich" rocks it up and we have a pretty cool hybrid-like hero who swings blades, shoots the guns and rides a motor cycle while doing it.<br/><br/>I like this flick more now as a movie rather than an adaptation of the R.E. games and seeing it right after the first R.E. flick is quite a good watch. Now it's time for "R.E: Extinction", let's go!

  At some point, I thought this movie was not that good like the first one. But it was not that bad either. Watchable.

  I liked it. It's a great way yo follow up the first one. And it's even better than the first one.

  I really love this, it's just so incredibly corny and over the top. Some of the all time greatest lines delivered in a movie, the GTA reference is a masterpiece among words. This one feels and operates like a videogame, so either that works or doesn't for you. While these movies serve on a guilty pleasure to most, I see no wrong in liking them. They're totally ridiculous and crazy, but most of the time on a self-aware note; especially this entry. Milla Jovovich continues to do crazy stunts and look hot whilst doing so, somehow that has become the staple of the series.

  I loved the first Resident Evil film. I thought it had a lot of rousing action, terrifying scares, decent acting, and it was a bloody good time. But Resident Evil:Apocalypse does not really deliver the bite of the original, the film start well enough, but after 20 minutes you're left scratching your head if this is really a good/bad movie. I felt it was a mess, the power ans scope of the first Resident Evil film was there, but it lacked that special something to make this film really spectacular. The action sequences fell flat at times and really some of them were a little too ridiculous even for a film like this. I enjoyed the scenes with Nemesis, he looked fake too which made me smile. The scenes with Nemesis were the most entertaining. Overall, this film could have been better but it's not the worst. Luckily for the this franchise, The third instalment Extinction was superior to this film.

  I'm a fan of the Resident Evil movies. They're clearly made by people who are not overly concerned with sticking closely to the video games, and I think that's a good thing. The series boils down to basically a few action flicks with a sprinkling of zombies and Milla Jovovich. Apocalypse is pretty similar to the other two Resident Evil movies, only it's set in the same city that the second and third Resident Evil games are in. There are enough familiar names and cameos to keep fans invested in the plot and its hodge-podge of movie clichés. As ridiculous as it is to see little, 100 pound Milla fighting a 400 pound monster or outrunning an explosion, it somehow works amongst all the other ridiculous stuff that's going on. I love all the casting, (except for the Mike Epps stereotypical character) and Jill and Alice are hot and tough enough to keep the movie interesting. Apocalypse is not frightening or mind-blowing, but I just can't help but enjoy a video game movie that is fun to watch.

  Such a stupid sequel but I still quite like it. A guilty pleasure if you will. It got quite funny when that big dude shows up, so bad it was good!

  i saw this on bootleg dvd yet i could tell that wasnt the only thing wrong with it.

  Mostly funnier than scary, the first one of the 3 is truly the better one still this one was worth watching and was good enough to distract you if your having a hard time with life. Also the movie didn't explain much of what was about. After an outbreak in a top-secret facility, Umbrella ponders on covering up their mistakes by releasing the deadly Nemesis to eliminate surviving STARS members in Raccoon City.

  i loved it i loved it more than the first one and was really keen to watch the third one! relly good and exciting and interesting and action packed with great makeup for the zombies really really good!

  Resident Evil: Apocalypse is pretty damn bad. Some of the action was pretty decent but the direction was godawful, especially with the slow motion blurry effect shit going on. Milla Jovovich was nice to look at and Jill Valentine was smoking, but the 15 minutes that went on after the movie should've ended were an itch you couldn't scratch. I don't know if this was a good video game movie or an bad zombie movie.

  Less plot, more action. Jovovich has some kind of super-human powers and is teamed up with a military dude, some feisty sexy lady cop, a little kid and a quick witted black guy. As a B movie it is quite entertaining as long as you can overcome the absurdity. There's some giant… More
  Less plot, more action. Jovovich has some kind of super-human powers and is teamed up with a military dude, some feisty sexy lady cop, a little kid and a quick witted black guy. As a B movie it is quite entertaining as long as you can overcome the absurdity. There's some giant monster called nemesis who has a big gun and stalks our heroes. He is of course controlled by eeeeeeeeeeeevil scientists. They don't care about human life, even when the disastrous effects could end the world. Just play Resident Evil 4 as you find more plot, more character development and more action YOU can control in a single hour than this never ending explosion. Even the CGI is less realistic and the stunt work less choreographed in this cash-in.

  So, Alice now has mental powers by the end of this one. I'm guessing that in part 3 she can fly and go back in time. Further proof of how shitty this movie is, how the fuck did Alice knew that lickers were attacking people in the church? How did she knew were exactly to land her… More
  So, Alice now has mental powers by the end of this one. I'm guessing that in part 3 she can fly and go back in time. Further proof of how shitty this movie is, how the fuck did Alice knew that lickers were attacking people in the church? How did she knew were exactly to land her bike? Seriously, you might as well poke your nose with a pencil until you reach as deep as posible, and it will still do less damage to your brain than watching this.

  <u><b>Directed by:</u> Alexander Witt</b> <u><b>Starring:</u> Milla Jovovich, Sienna Guillory, Oded Fehr, Thomas Kretschmann.</b> You should never have faith in a mediocre film with a very promising ending, especially when Paul W.S Anderson is writing. Resident Evil: Apocalypse had this major potential after the ending of the first film but it is taken in a completely different direction. The story starts a short while before the end of the first film, we are shown how the infected escape from The Hive and how the streets of Raccoon City became infected. We then skip to the end of the first film where Alice awakes to find the streets deserted and while finding survivors along the way, must find a way to escape the city, before complete annihilation strikes at dawn. The plot has the promise to work, as it sounds like a game, but many things bog it down. Paul W.S Anderson is back but only doing writing this time, which is the worst part of the first film. This time around, he can't seem to pick up the pieces. He adds some known characters from the game (finally) but as always, he makes them paper-thin and makes the simple plot line around them completely unfocused and implausible. On top of that, we have someone who has a large amount of experience in second unit directing taken his first helm as director, Alexander Witt. Problem is, it isn't a good thing. Although the pacing is fast, tight and there are one or two impressive action sequences, thats it. he doesn't have the skill to focus on a story (what little there was) and cuts together the scenes like a hyperactive baby without vision....and not to mention the lack of decent zombies (and what was with the stupid blur trick every time they were around?). The acting is above the first, with Milla Jovovich being well trained and more of a presence than the first film, she has certainly worked magic from this franchise. Sienna Guillory is possibly the best addition, alongside her character Jill Valentine from the game. She has perfected the movements of Jill and plays the part to a tee, if it had being any better Resident Evil film, she could have done more. It was great to see Nemesis in action, the prosthetics were amazing, but aside from that and one or two action sequences, the film falls flat. A completely wrong direction for a promising film, with Paul W.S Anderson still writing the franchise with his thin characters, cheesy dialogue and unfocused plot and the addition of Alexander Witt's surprisingly unoriginal direction, Resident Evil: Apocalypse is a letdown.
