Summary:
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 ...
My Rating:
My Review: Resident Evil - Apocalypse: (2004 - Action, horror, sci-fi) Sequel to a movie based on a video-game. I liked the video game, and I rated that original movie a 3 out of 5. Unfortunately, the horror is gone from this sequel. It's mostly an action flick. Full of explosions, hot-biker chicks intentionally detonating the gas tank on her motorcycle after she crashes through the stained glass windows of a large cathedral. I'm not quite sure how she managed to land before her motorcycle, or how she survived the crash, or the fall, or how she managed to land on her feet in order to shoot the gas tank, or for that matter - How she knew to shoot the gas tank... This kind of wraps up the plot. What? Yup, that wraps it up. Completely preposterous plot. O.k. here's a little more: Biogenics company had an accident, now they have to wipe out all the mutants, zombies and residents in Racoon city. That's it. The only thing this incredibly poorly written movie has going for it is the occasional gratuitous nudity and the eye candy leads. Milla Jovovich and Sienna Guillory looked great in those preposterous costumes. 2 out of 5.
