Awesome Movie and Extras!!,
By Haunted Mansion (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Resident Evil: Apocalypse (Special Edition) (DVD)
Man I didn't think a sequel would be just as good as the first!! WOW! I really really liked this movie, it had a different feeling than the first. You could tell they spent more money and time on this one than the first. I loved the whole story and the humour that was added!!Hey and I even recognized some scenes that are in the FMV in the games! Really cool. The extras are plentiful and great! The outtakes are really funny! Buy this movie it rocks!

Apocalypse? Perhaps not, but...,
By ProngZ (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Resident Evil: Apocalypse (Special Edition) (DVD)
As far as shlocky zombie films go the R.E. franchise is my favorite. I did perfer the first one. As a "Torontoian" I have to say it was fun to watch if a bit hard to suspend disbelief I found that I had to keep telling myself "that's not Toronto City all It's Racoon City City Hall... or that's not the CN Tower in the background, pretend it's not there." I think that dispite what the reviewer said the visuals were well done, I enjoyed the fact that "real" effects were used where it was not ablsoutly nessisary to use CGI ie. Milla Jovovich's (Alice) stunt double running down the side of city hall and Milla doing the last 60 feet herself, this was all done in real time and not on a blue/green screen nor CG. If you expect Citizen Kane from this movie then perhaps you aught to rethink you choice in Genre. It's a *Bleeping* horror/action/sci-fi flick for goodnessakes not high art. The DVD special features are fantastic also 3 comentaries, the one with Milla, Sienna, and Oded kept me chuckling Milla has a fantastic sense of humor. Outakes: funny. 20 deleted/exended scenes, and featurettes galore about everything you could want to know about the making of and behind the scenes of Resident Evil: Apocalypse. Can't wait for Resident Evil 3: (Project: Alice(?))

Better Than the First One!,

This review is from: Resident Evil: Apocalypse (Special Edition) (DVD)
4.5 out of 5The Umbrella Corporation needs to know what happened at the Hive and why it was sealed up afterward, so a team is sent down there to open it. Unfortunately, when they do, they unleash an army of the undead and the T-virus is unleashed on the world. Alice (Milla Jovovich) wanders the streets of Raccoon City, now under quarantine, blasting the heads off of anything dead that moves. Soon she saves Valentine (Sienna Guillory) and crew and the group is quickly contacted by Dr. Ashford (Jared Harris) whose daughter, Angie (Sophie Vavasseur), is still in the city. Umbrella Corporation scanners show her at the school she attends. The deal: if they save his daughter, he'll guide them out of the city and past the perimeter Umbrella has put up to keep the T-virus in. They have to do this before sunrise otherwise they won't make it out before Umbrella nukes the entire city, erasing any trace that the T-virus existed and reanimated the dead. Oh, and the Nemesis Project is online, and it's on the hunt. Usually sequels fail after the first, or if they succeed, it's only by a small margin. Well, Resident Evil: Apocalypse is even better than its predecessor and brings another haul of thrills and chills along with it. In this one the post-apocalyptic feel hangs thick on the air. Raccoon City is in ruins. Cars are overturned and on fire. Bodies and blood litter the streets. Guns are going off in the distance. And zombies are everywhere. Good and gruesome zombies. (I particularly liked the ones featured in the cemetery; the level of rot and decay on those things was exquisite.) In Resident Evil style, dark things lurk in the shadows and the suspense and tension built in this movie is awesome. I jumped I don't know how many times. Even the parts where you go, "Okay, something's going to pop out . . . NOW!" make you jump. Very cool. The fight between Nemesis and Alice was cool along with her other wheelings and dealings with the undead. Her super solider-esque, Matrix-like fighting techniques was a treat to watch. That scene in the school with all those zombie kids? Truly creepy. Adult zombies got nothing on these little terrors. The movie serves as a nice in-betweener for the first and third. The epic scale of storytelling is terrific, and this is one zombie saga I'm eager to see go on, especially when part four (Resident Evil: Afterlife) comes out in 2011. Recommended. A.P.
