Resident Evil – Apocalypse – is perfectly evil and it’s a good thing. Imagine a world where an all powerful corporation unleashes a virus that turns people into zombies. Now imagine that the only one who can stop this company is the former head of security for that corporation, whose own DNA was altered by their research experiments. Enter Alice – professional butt kicker. She’s Rambo, Arnold and Beatrix Kiddo all rolled into one, only much, much more charismatic.
For a movie based on a video game there’s sure a lot of story here, one that delivers non stop chills and thrills. I noticed many people playing shoot-em-up in the theater during the fight scenes. A pure adrenaline rush!
Things that rock about this movie:
1) Tight pacing
2) Excellent action sequences
3) A cliffhanger ending that works, rather than annoys.
4) Good use of narrative over dialog to convey story.
5) Three words – Milla Jovovich naked.
Things that need improvement:
1) When is Resident Evil 3 coming???
Verdict: like action? like explosions? like Milla ? SEE IT NOW!
