BE WARNED SPOILER ALERTS!!!! This is the second installment of Resident Evil and carries on Alice's story which again doesn't really follow the games which flit between characters. But it picks up straight after the first movie with Alice in the ruins of Raccoon City. Umbrella have opened the Hive and the Lickers have burst free along with the Zombies and are busy infecting the civilian population of the city. Ugly Betty's Daniel is also back... well kinda Matt has mutated due to infection. He has mutated into a huge 7 ft monster and is out to kill STARs members due to the mind control by Umbrella. It is a lot less claustrophobic as it is set in ...  Read the complete review

It started snowing at home on Sunday, so we decided to watch Resident Evil Apocalypse. Personally I can take or leave these kind of movie's - rehashing the original - which came from a computer game - I'm not that fussed. I wasn't expecting much and told my other half - if I fall asleep don't worry - just don't let me sleep for more than half an hour. Not so I wouldn't miss the end - no - So I would be able to sleep at night. What came for the next 97 minutes was, not what I expected, it was actually ok - and I didn't fall asleep! General Story 2002 - Resident Evil the movie was released; this came off the back of the computer game. ...  Read the complete review

I’m not a huge fan of video game to movie adaptations, I have to say. The track record isn’t terribly good and the original Resident Evil movie was no masterpiece. It was a bit of a surprise, therefore, when they decided to make a sequel and true to the law of diminishing returns, Apocalypse isn’t even as good as its lacklustre counterpart. The film picks up the first when left off, almost to the moment. The Umbrella Corporation, a multi-billion dollar corporation, has been researching viral weaponry deep beneath the surface of Racoon City. A lethal virus (the T-Virus) was leaked into the underground research station called The Hive, killing all the scientists ...  Read the complete review

Resident Evil: Apocalypse is the second film adaptation installment based upon Capcom's famous survival horror puzzle videogames franchise Resident Evil. The movie follows Alice's actions immediately after leaving the Umbrella Facility and loosely touches on the events of Resident Evil 3, reviving fan favourite characters such as Jill Valentine, Carlos Oliviera and Nemesis. The plot is hard to follow, especially if you haven't seen the first film, and definitely becomes just a little convoluted at times, with frequent introductions of superfluous and underdeveloped characters which does become irksome after a while. Performances are half-decent ...  Read the complete review
