  One of these stars is just for the great acting Jared Harris does while peering over his tiny impractical glasses

  further proof that fanboys are the absolute worst and catering to them is a surefire way to make the worst film in your franchise. first film wasn't faithful to your stupid video game? well here's a dlc ending with all the broad caricatures, references & action filmmaking you wanted in lieu of anything remotely interesting formally. and as if it wasn't embarrassing enough already, this came out just a few months after zack snyder's Dawn of the Dead remake, which succeeded in filling far bigger shoes. poor milla, she's far too good for this.

  33/100

  Ironically enough, Resident Evil: Apocalypse was the only Resident Evil installment that I had seen prior to this speed-run through the series, and although I remember being not too fond of it, I wasn't prepared for such a disastrous step down from W.S. Anderson's Resident Evil. It's such an obvious response to the bitchy fan reactions of the original film, and with W.S. Anderson out of the director's chair, Alexander Witt (a mostly second-unit director) steps in and derails much of the momentum of the franchise opener. In spite of that, Mila Jovovich still kicks ass (she rides a motorcycle through a stained glass Church window!) and the action is messy but engaging enough when it doesn't feel the need to fuck up its own logic. Best part? There's this weird grown up version of the "baby Xenomorph" and it walks around with a chain gun.

  Review by Sean Gilman ★★★½ 7

  Sienna Guillory looks more like a video game character than any human I've ever seen. I truly admire her decision to model her performance on the aesthetic of late-90s cutscene acting as well.

  The plot of this is the inverse of the first film: instead of a group of confined people slowly reduced in number by the zombie menace until only a final girl survives, a smattering of individuals are slowly brought together until (most) of them escape the zombie menace, leaving the final girl behind.

  Shame about the action, cut and blurred to hell by director Alexander Witt, who learned all the wrong lessons doing second unit work for the Scott brothers. This should be one of the better films in the series, who doesn't want Milla Jovovich's Snake Plissken?

  Review by nadine smith ★★★★ 8

  apparently i'm one of the only people who doesn't dislike this movie... weird. the reference to grand theft auto early on made it click in my mind... where the first one used space and narrative like an endless hallway, Apocalypse is a sealed sandbox. obviously you can make comparisons to Escape From New York, but this one feels very much like a recontextualization of the cinematic gameplay paul w.s. anderson establishes in the first one. it's all about levels of insulation. we're always aware of the invisible walls that surround us, even if the environment itself shifts and offers the illusion of more "freedom." also i'm a total sucker for the nemesis creature design and the super necessary milla-jovovich-on-motorcycle action.…

  Review by MarMar ★★

  So as far as I can tell, I'm guessing it's required for Milla Jovovich to appear naked in a towel at the end of every single one of these movies?

  Remember UMD discs for PSP?

  Fun fact Resident Evil: Apocalypse and XXX: State of the Union are the only movies I ever bought for that masterful piece of technology.

  What was I thinking? haha

  group of people band together to fight zombies is such a great genre and this is a good addition to it because 1) action fun 2) women shoot things
