2002's popular video-game-derived hit Resident Evil didn't inspire confidence in a sequel, but Resident Evil: Apocalypse defies odds and surpasses expectations. It's a bigger, better, action-packed zombie thriller, and this time Milla Jovovich (as the first film's no-nonsense heroine) is joined by more characters from the popular Capcom video games, including Jill Valentine (played by British hottie Sienna Guillory) and Carlos Olivera (Oded Fehr, from 1999's The Mummy). They're armed and ready for a high-caliber encounter with devil dogs, mutant "Lickers," lurching zombies, and the leather-clad monster known only as Nemesis, unleashed by the nefarious Umbrella Corporation responsible for creating the cannibalistic undead horde. Having gained valuable experience as a respected second-unit director on high-profile films like Gladiator and The Bourne Identity, director Alexander Witt elevates this junky material to the level of slick, schlocky entertainment. --Jeff Shannon

Description

Customer Reviews:

Good Sequel.......2007-07-06

This is a great sequel to the original. Although it didn't seem as dark and scary as the first, it made up for it in action. The movie picks up where the first one left off. As our heroine has escaped the hospital she finds a devastated world. She must find her only surviving friend and do what she can to bring the Umbrella Corporation down. She finds out more horrible truths about them and is assisted by a unlikely allie. Both movies complement each other nicely. I definitely recommend you add this to your Horror/SciFi collection. A must for anyone that owns "Resident Evil".

A-lot better than the first.good flick. Actors are awesome in their respective parts. Milla Jovovich is severely underrated.......2007-06-26

This movie is almost perfect in its execution. Sure its still not completely faithful to the game but hey you cant have it all. This movie is so entertaining you will not even notice the time passing. Nemesis is scary and tough. The story is actually very good and entertaining as well. Siena Guillroy is excellent as Jill Valentine and Oded Fehr is a very good Carlos Oliveira. All in all a very entertaining good movie.

Fun to watch on the go!.......2007-05-09

RE: Apocalypse is a fun movie for me to watch, enjoying some of my favorite actors fighting through hordes of the undead to save a girl and get a way out of a locked down city before a nuclear explosion wipes everything out.

As a person studying abroad, I got the UMD for the reason that it's easy to watch on my PSP on the plane or late at night, not having a TV around to watch it on. And I don't have to worry about a larger disc being broken in transit or the case cracking.

A fun movie to watch, and compact enough to carry around easily.

R.E.: THE GAMERS VERSION........2007-04-28

When I first rented the original "Resident Evil" I was completely shocked at how much I liked it. I had zero expectations for it, yet was sucked in by it's story, characters and visualisation. So I ran out and purchased it (as soon as it was on sale). Since then I've watched it about 10 times, which is pretty remarkable considering I have roughly 350 DVDs to choose from. Given this, as a non-gamer, I was surprised to find that gamers were generally disappointed in this movie (not all of them, but most negative reviews were from gamers).

Now we have "Resident Evil- Apocalypse". Don't get to see "grown-up" movies at the theater, so I had to wait until the DVD release. I liked the first so much, I did not even think of renting this. I quickly bought the DVD (when it went on sale, never buy at full price)with much anticipation. Roughly 3 years later I have viewed it approximately (well, ACTUALLY)1 time. That's right, no type-o. JUST ONCE. It was not nearly as compelling as the first film (to me). Gone was the gripping story, the great camera work, the excellent character development. In the stead of this great stuff was some sort of "made-for-cable" goofy monster movie. Now, I did not hate it, (I actually like goofy monster movies) but it is not begging me to watch it again. It's so in-your-face that after one viewing, there was nothing left to see. No mystery. No subtlety. No sense of future dread. It was done.

But wow! Gamers really like it!! Now it all makes sense. Since I find shooter games extremely redundant and difficult to play more than once, I found this movie to be the same. A one timer (OK maybe 2). Kind of like sixth sense. Once you get to the end, well.. ...it's over.

Cinematically, comparing this to the fist film is like comparing the first "Star Wars" to the last (I'm talking release dates, not "Lucas-Time"). It's comparing something that is a carfully thought out and woven tale, to something that is simply a series of evens strung together to make a story. Kind of like Shooter video games. You travel down a linear path and take on what's in front of you. Unfortunatly this is a film!

I can't say don't buy this if you liked the first. It's nice to have a continuation of the first. Just don't go in with the same expectations.

Problematic sequel.......2007-01-27

The Umbrella Corporation decided to reopen the Hive, which allows the T-virus to escape and turn the inhabitants of Raccoon City into zombies. I might be slow when it comes to modern science, but I really fail to see the practical applications or economic potential of the T-virus given that it is not really regeneration human cells. Now the nuke option is making a lot of sense, which is bad news for Alice (Milla Jovovich), the genetically created ultimate fighting machine, who is trying to lead a group of survivors through the zombies to safety. But since this movie is based on a video game, things get worse.

The Umbrella Corporation sends Nemesis, a killing machine that may or may not be a genetically mutated version of Alice's boyfriend, Matt, from the previous film. Apparently shooting people before nuking them is in the best interest of the corporation.

This is a movie that really does not have much respect for the intelligence of its audience, all of whom would know to shot zombies wearing body armor in the head. At least the movie makes the videogames look really good in comparison, so there is that. You just have to be into playing the games.

Good movie, blue-ray OK.......2007-04-07

Its an average blu-ray, but I love the movie itself. I guess I am a Milla fan.

Resident Evil - Apocalypse Blu-ray.......2007-03-29

This movie is an awesome example of blu-ray technology. It looked and sounded amazing. And the movie itself is great on it's own. The only drawback is that, like most blu-rays, the special features are lacking.

great action in HD.......2007-03-18

Action from start to finish and shot mostly in the dark. DVD looked great with upconverting player, but compared to HD, this looks even better. Richer colors and so much more detail compared to the dvd release.

Wonderful movie even better in HD.......2007-02-14

Sony pulled out all the stops to show off the power of Blu-Ray in this movie taking an already great movie with tons of great effects and bringing them to perfect stunning HD quality in both visual and audio.

Resident Evil - Apocalypse - 5 stars.......2005-08-07

From all the reviews I've read for this movie, they're pretty mixed in opinion. Some people Have been ranging on about how the movie sucked and how "scantly dressed" the female characters (I.E., Jill Valentine and Alice) are and ect. But really, the reviews --- for the most part--- could not be more far from the truth than the Miami Dolphins lost in Baltimore. "Resident Evil: Apocalypse" is the coolest movie of late summer 2004, only second to "Spider-Man II." It's that great of a movie. Contrary to belief, "Resident Evil" had a major scare factor for me, I still cannot will myself to watch the Claustrophobic-filmed movie that left me with a sense of hopelessness for the characters as they were attacked by the former "Hive" employees of the Umbrella Corporation. So you can believe that when I heard "RE:A" was on Television (7-2-05) I had a pretty hard time willing myself to watch it. I was that scared of it. I had watched enough for the first movie to understand the sequel:

- [The Umbrella CORP. has reopened the hive after capturing Matt (Eric Malbus) and Alice from their narrow escape from the hive upon sealing it to prevent further contamination. Both have been subjected to laboratory experiments with the T-Virus under the orders of men named Dr. Isaacs (Iain Glen - Tomb Raider), but only Alice is left partially unscathed through the entire incident. However, Alice's attempts to keep the T-virus from escaping the underground facility were foiled by the Umbrella CORP when they reopen the HIVE and released the T-Virus and the lickers along with it. Thus creating mass hysteria within the walls of Raccoon City whose citizens have fallen prey to the deadly virus and are locked inside the city when it reaches the city limits.

Jill Valentine (from CAPCOM's Resident Evil game series, played by Sienna Guillory) a S.T.A.R.S. operative who was suspended for her accusations against the Umbrella CORP., her partner Pyeton Wells (Razaaq Adoti), along with whether reporter Terri Morales (Sandrine Holt), take refuge in a church after Pyeton is bitten by one of the recently undead at the city gate and are met with more trouble. Their saving grace happens to be "PROGRAM" Alice (Milla Jovovich!!) who has been genetically enhanced by the T-virus and Anti-virus, armed to the teeth with guns of every kind and superhuman strength to boot.

The newfound group of survivors make their way through the city toward a hopeful exit before Raccoon City is sanitized by a Nuclear Missile strong enough to reradiate the virus and everything else. They're then contacted by Dr. Charles Ashford (Jared Harris), the creator of the T-virus, who wants them to head to the school where his daughter Angela "Angie" Ashford (Sophie Vavasseur; "Evelyn - 2001") --- whom he designed the "RED QUEEN" after ---- is hiding out after the van she was in was hit with a Semi truck. Right behind them S.T.A.R.S. elite Carlos Olivera (Oded Fehr) and Nicholai Sokolov (whom was a villain in the game. ---- played by Zack Ward) and the wandering Raccoon City resident pimp L.J. (Mike Epps) who also get a call from the so-called "Dr. Doom. Unbeknownst to the group as they approach the school, the Umbrella CORP. has unleashed their ultimate Bio-weapon "PROGRAM" Nemesis (from Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. Played by Matthew G. Taylor and not Eric Malbus) monitored by Major Cain (Thomas Kretschmann), whose primary objective is to kill all the S.T.A.R.S. members that were still alive and battle Alice for superiority of sorts.]"

---------- Apocalypse deals heavily with Alice regaining her forgotten memory after she is captured and subjected to tests and the secondary star of the movie "Nemesis" who was her friend, Matt Addison. While the movie deals with the subject of the undead, the plot is strictly character driven in the every way possible; You actual care about what will happen to all the people who survived the outbreak in Raccoon City. The scare factor in the movie for me has diminished somewhat after I conquered my fear of watching it but it still holds some kind of fear over me when it comes to all the Undead scenes which are truly something to be scared about for the "most" part. Milla Jovovich's character Alice kicks Jill Valentine (who really isn't given much to do in the movie) to the passengers seat and really kicks major ass in this movie, the action scenes in this movie are a sight to behold, its practically nonstop through out the entire movie but does nothing to dissipate the movie's twisting plot.

Alice's stunts are the coolest ever--- from the graveyard battle, the 100-Foot dash down City Hall (which Milla did the last of the stunt herself) to her battle with Nemesis, the action for this character is undeniably the best ever and better than her exploits in the first movie. Jill Valentine, however, manages to hold a special place in my heart and basically gets to do some pretty awesome things herself (Fighting the undead to some wicked handgun fights) but her range is basically limited since the movie is focused on Alice. The comic Relief provided by Mike Epps' character "L.J. ," is actually pretty funny and does not kill the atmosphere of horror/action in the movie.

Oded Fehr does pretty a pretty good job with the limited character Carlos Olivera, he's never too macho and his character is quite likable (much like Nicholai was). Most of all the music is well fitted and plays best on the most important parts of movie overall. Best of all, Resident Evil: Apocalypse deals heavily with the video games in only a way the fanboys of the games would recognize. All in all this movie was up-to-specs and majorly different from the horde of Horror movies concerning the Undead that came out in 2004. There are indeed, plot holes big enough to stick your finger through but this does nothing to diminish the movie's high-rate enjoyment. Purchase this movie if your a fan of Milla Jovovich or the Resident Evil series, but consider this movie with an open mind. This movie contains brief scenes of nudity, mild-swearing, gory scenes, frightening images, and nonstop action violence (Written by Paul Anderson, Directed by Alexander Witt). FYI: The female protagonists, Jill and Alice are not "scantly dressed" they're quite covered with clothing for combat and easy mobility -----[a 5 out of 5]

If you played the video games... you'll love the movies!.......2005-07-09

Not many video game based movies turn out well, but Resident Evil is an exception to the rule. The second rule is that a sequel is never as good as the original... Apocalypse breaks this rule. Although losing Michelle Rodriguez was dissapointing, the second movie obviously has a bigger budget and really lives up as a sequel. Now.. this movie IS based on a video game.. so if realistic plots and the norm is what you expect, you won't like this movie. But the original video game scared the bejesus out of me at the time and the movie sticks true to the game... especially the zombie dogs!! So have fun with these 2 movies, and they will prove to entertain you for sure!

3 and 1/2 stars. Good fun.......2005-07-04

These movies were both good sci-fi/ action/ horror movies that are still inferior to the Blade trilogy. So if you want to have the best sci-fi/ horror movies of the 2, Blade's better. If you want to have the classic, check out the Alien Quadrilogy, but if you just want to have some fun, buy this set. They're both good, solid movies with good suspense and great action and special effects.
Resident Evil (# 1) is about a group of soldiers that must destroy a virus before it has a deadly effect on the world.
Resident Evil Apocalypse- Alice played by Mila Jockavich has to help fight the undead and has to rescue a missing girl.

Both movies have good action scenes where you'll be like:" wow! That was cool!!" but the 2nd one is better with better action and more memorable stuff. I recommend them as rents to everyone and buys for absolute die hard funs. You'll just have a good time watching them.
