About this product
Product Information
- The lovely Milla Jovovitch is back with a vengeance as amnesiac, genetically-altered zombie ass-kicker, Alice, in this sequel to the 2002 hit film, which is based on the video game. This time around the sinister Umbrella Corporation sends a team of investigators into their destroyed underground lab (the ground-zero of carnage in the previous film) and unwittingly unleash the still-staggering zombies and monsters out into the population of Raccoon City. Soon Umbrella has evacuated all of their own key employees and has shut everyone else inside to be devoured. A mastermind chemist's daughter gets left behind in the confusion, and she is the one ticket out for Alice and a handful of dwindling survivors, including the equally hot, skimpily dressed, and almost-as-tough lady cop, Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory). There's some nifty motorcycle riding, plenty of bullets and splattering blood, and even a new monster--the hulking, heavily-armored, seriously ugly Nemesis. Comic actor Mike Epps is great as a pimped-out hustler who handles the whole dead-coming-back-to-life thing with cool nonchalance. In some ways, this nonstop creep show is even an improvement over the original, with a pervasive mood of nihilistic corporate dehumanization adding extra concern about the future of civilization to the mix of shooting, dying, punching, and munching.

Pretty Girls, Big Guns, Ugly Monsters...
The sequel to Resident Evil – in wh...ich a group of scientists and special forces get trapped in a giant underground facility overrun with zombies and mutants – is pretty much what you'd expect. After being captured by the Umbrella Corporation at the end of the first film, almost-sole-survivor Milla Jovovich (the only supermodel in the world who you can take seriously as an action heroine) wakes up in an abandoned laboratory in Raccoon City to find that the zombie-animating "t-virus" has spread to the surface. Half the city are already zombified and killing the other half, and Umbrella Corporation has sealed off the city limits and is planning to "sanitise" the area. Hooking up with a rag-tag group of survivors, Jovovich makes a deal with a rogue Umbrella scientist who promises to get them out of town as long as they rescue his missing daughter who's hiding somewhere in the ruins. Meanwhile Umbrella has its own plans for the lovely Miss Milla, involving a seven-foot armour-clad mutant called the Nemesis who's using the infested city as a training ground. Much shooting/fighting/exploding ensues, and - just like in the first film - the mysterious cliffhanger ending leaves things wide open for another sequel. Probably because it's based on a Japanese video game, this movie isn't afraid to embrace the clichés that Hollywood's spent the last decade or so trying to avoid. Lurching zombies, machine gun-toting monsters, smarmy suit-wearing villains, hard-as-nails soldiers and a wisecracking streetwise black dude are all essential ingredients, as well as not one but TWO sexy ass-kicking heroines. While Jovovich rides in to save the day on a motorcycle and carries so many guns it's a wonder she doesn't fall over, Sienna Guillory (as tough bitch cop Jill Valentine) has the dubious honour of performing various athletic action sequences in a miniskirt and boob tube. Am I complaining? Hell no. To be honest, it's really quite refreshing to see a movie like this in this day and age. Like the timelessly cheesy horror/action flicks of John Carpenter, the Resident Evil franchise throws realism and political correctness to the wind and just has fun pitting Pretty Girls With Big Guns against Ugly Monsters With Big Teeth. Be honest – unless you're a metrosexual poseur or a card-carrying member of the PC Police, you probably love this stuff as much as I do.

Say hello to the next Angelina!
I would never give a sequel this much credit..., but after picking up so smoothly from the first, Apocalypse gets my vote. And what a change of pace from the first movie! This may be based on a game, but I never saw this story on Playstation. Most of all, Alice (Milla Jovovich) Gets a serious attitude with the T-Viral zombies, and with the few humans left in Raccoon City to help her. The big shocker was her infection, that she was to become the "Super Soldier" with a controlled contamination of the T-Virus. Where the movie misses, is the ending is very predictable. All the heroes live somehow, Alice escapes Umbrella, and they ride off into the night to pursue evil. But it's a great ride getting there. Laughs, Scares,and heart pulsing action keep this sequel's story from biting the dust. Milla Jovovich should be able to use this series the same as Angelina Jolie used the "Tomb Raider" movies... To marry and divorce any co-star she wants, adopt third world children, and all the while demanding $20 million+++ for her services on camera.

Resident Evil
This was a good movie. Good special effects, decent stunts, ne...w but believable (within the Resident Evil world) angle on the storyline. I am a Resident Evil fan (put together much better than the run of the mill dead crawling about to eat the living for no reason and then just stop come sunrise, there are a lot of em.), I have played several versions of the games to death. I would not let my small kids see this or me playing the games, so maybe it's been awhile, but other than that I would buy this one. I was so excited to see it again I stayed up till nearly 2 Am multiple nights just so I could watch it (without my kids). I would love it if they made more movies like this.
Good
It’s good but I completely understand it all but I really need the de...nt token out of my skull and my body completely fixed and I’m not psychiatric so hey I really would like my body completely fixed and I’m full grown and I got parenting class A PLUS AWARD for me and Yarnell junior for me and Shawn junior
