Okay, so here we go: Resident Evil: Apocalypse is an old-fashioned action film, but instead of an Arnold Schwarzenegger or Sylvester Stallone at the centre, it has Milla Jovovich, who may have the same lack of acting the other two do, but can’t pull of the bad-ass-ness needed to suspend your disbelief. Jill was wearing her Resident Evil 3 outfit… that was kind of good, I guess? I mean, I wasn’t really thinking of completely crapping on this film, but here I am the following day looking back, and I can’t really think of anything positive. Hey, it’s Jill! She looks quite a bit like Jill from RE3, that’s… cool?Įrm… You know, I’m honestly struggling here. Together, they search for a scientist who might be able to help.
Alice, a survivor from Umbrella’s secret lab, meets former Umbrella security officer Jill Valentine and mercenary Carlos Oliviera. Umbrella seals off the city to contain the virus, creating a ghost town where everyone trapped inside turns into a mutant zombie. Still though, is it any good at all now, with fresh eyes and a need to sit through it no matter what? Let’s find out!Ī deadly virus from a secret Umbrella Corporation laboratory underneath Raccoon City is exposed to the world.
While the second game (or even the third that this is clearly more based on) was still more horror than action, this is just action, and action with a super-powered heroine at that.
I put this movie on after being pleasantly surprised with the first one, and switched it off half way through.
So, we reach film #2 in the Resident Evil movie franchise, and this is where my experience ended.
