Resident Evil: Apocalypse Storyline

Alice awakens from a terrible sleep to find her worst fears realized–the bloodthirsty Undead, which she and the now-annihilated squad of elite military fought to destroy, have been unleashed on the city that surrounds the secret facility of the Umbrella Corporation. Discovering she was an Umbrella experiment, Alice has been bio-genetically enhanced with new strengths, senses and dexterity–and she will need them. In the heart of the ravaged Raccoon City, a small group of uninfected people, including Jill Valentine, a recently demoted member of Raccoon City’s elite Special Tactics and Rescue Services team, and Umbrella Corporation Security Officer Carlos Oliveira, fight for their lives against swarms of Undead and the deadlier and faster Lickers. Running out of luck and resources, the group is rescued by Alice, and they begin to wage an exhilarating battle to survive and escape before the Umbrella Corporation erases its experiment from the face of the earth. Their only hope lies somewhere within Raccoon City–Dr Charles Ashford, one of the leading scientists for the Umbrella Corporation, will help Alice and the others escape the city safely–if they find his daughter. Angie Ashford became separated from her father and now hides in fear. Alice, Jill and Carlos will have to fight their way through an army of Undead to save her. All the while, a secret weapon code-named Nemesis has been experimentally altered with greater modifications than Alice and has been programmed to track and destroy them. They will need all their strengths and skills to fight the battle of their lives against the mindless evil that has infected the city and the powerful forces that unleashed it on mankind.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse Movie Reviews

A Really Fun Action-Packed Sci-fi Sequel

Resident Evil: Apocalypse is a kick-ass action flick but when i first watched it on video way back in early 2000’s i didn’t like it. Now in 2022 I’ve watched it again & think it’s Awesome!!!

Apocalypse isn’t as good as the first film but it’s still a damn good sequel & companion piece to that film.

The Apocalyptic scale of Raccoon City promised at the end of the first film is on full display here. The city is in a panic & the corrupted Umbrella company is locking everything down & locking everyone in. The virus has spread from the reopening of The Hive & our hero Alice (Milla Jovivich) is on the hunt. Jovovich is Awesome again in her “Ripley” type of role & gets to team up with other survivors including some left-behind S. T. A. R. S soldiers & what we get is a group of survivors trying to make their way to safety & rescue a young girl lost in the chaos.

The action scenes are well done with cool kick-ass stunts & slick feel to it all. The atmosphere is done well with a blueish look to everything & with a mist & rain it has a nice Horror film feel & look. There’s plenty of Zombie action & the cool looking Nemesis creature that is like a big mutant Terminator & looks Awesome.

Mike Epps (Next Friday) is pretty fun as one of the group & has fun in his role.

Apocalypse is just a damn good fun action-packed ride, a fun late-night movie ride.

More of the same in this first sequel, with even less plot

Previous readers may be aware that the original RESIDENT EVIL wasn’t one of my favourite genre flicks, despite the presence of flesh-eating zombies, and the sequel follows in much the same vein as the first. There is one major difference, however; this film dispenses with the story altogether, and the result is a typically mindless action fest with absolutely loads of shooting and martial arts high-kicking action. Normally I’m all for that, but sadly APOCALYPSE succumbs to the same clichéd formula as the original, in its story of a bunch of people running around in a sealed-off location and trying to avoid getting bitten by zombies.

Director Alexander Witt (Paul W. S. Anderson isn’t missed) has some annoying techniques of shooting his zombies in slow motion like in a Michael Jackson video, the result being pretty funny and not at all scary. Hardcore gore lovers will enjoy the flesh-biting fun but the camera always shies away from anything stronger than a little nibble on an arm or neck. The action tends to be repetitive, but kids will love the noisy theatricals with the incessant bam-bam of the guns and the outrageous stunts on hand. In this film, Jovovich is a kind of super woman who runs down the side of buildings and can jump over parked cars. The background to the plot is pretty murky and left unexplained. Jovovich is a strange lead in that I find her half sexy, half unappealing; she’s back in her skimpy attire but still looks like an undernourished supermodel and I’m sure she has a cold sore on her lip at one point – not the most attractive of heroines, it has to be said. Much better is Sienna Guillory, who resembles and acts like Lara Croft far more than Angelina Jolie.

Special effects are the main draw of the film, with the zombies looking fine and those skinless dogs back and just as good as in the original. Sadly, the pink mutant from the original’s climax is back and seems to have multiplied in a church, still as unconvincing as ever. The film does score points by having a massive monster running around, a really ugly guy with a minigun who stomps and shoots in equal measure. I love men in monster suits and this inclusion – his name is Nemesis and he was once human apparently – is no exception; any scene with him in is so OTT as to be a whole lotta fun. Sadly, the bits involving the zombies are clichéd beyond belief – at one point they burst out of a graveyard, yawn – and the weird ending, which starts a whole new story, will leave viewers thinking “what the heck?”. Pretty much the same experience as the first film offered then.

Director Alexander Witt not up to it

The Umbrella corporation’s secret underground lab quarantine has been breached. Zombies and other mutants are escaping into Raccoon city up above. Umbrella has sealed off the city, and intends to nuke it to wipe out any evidence. Alice (Milla Jovovich) and various people are scattered in the city trying to survive. Meanwhile Dr. Ashford who has escaped is guiding them to rescue his daughter who is still trapped in the city.

This has the unenviable position of opening up the scale of the franchise without the needed support. The virus has spread out into the open. This movie is city wide, but the CGI has barely improved. It needs mass zombie armies, and that means lots of CGI. Instead, they’re relying a lot on real stunts and real people. Director Alexander Witt just doesn’t have the skills or the people to make it work.

The other problem is that the characters are widely scattered. It would be more compelling to gather them together. It would be a more simple action-horror, and it would be a better quest movie.
