Meet your Nemisis!

Advantages: action packed.
Disadvantages: slightly wooly plot

...to conquer the movie world. Resident evil made a slowish start. The first film was watchable, and for a fan of the games like myself, it was entertaining. It seems, that the series is getting stronger, though, as apocalypse turns out to be a rip-roaring success. Highly enjoyable, and memorable for more than just Milla Jovavic (or, Milla yoyo-a-bit.). Yes she is a fox, but she could also kick your ass! The perfect woman! We left the last film with ...
...escape is thwarted by umbrella, the evil corporation behind the t-virus. Her friend Matt, who was the only other survivor of the hive, was also taken by umbrella, but he was taken to be in the nemesis project. Umbrella release the t-virus upon Racoon city. The city was chosen as it could be locked down, to contain the spread of the virus if need be. Then, into the zombie covered streets, the company unleashes its two champions. Good versus evil, ...

...down (I hear it was limited edition??) If you feel the urge to collect everything Resident evil, then yes, this is a must have. If you aren't too fussed by extras then I'd recommend waiting a little longer so you can buy a box set with all three movies in. ...

This series really needs to die

Advantages: It has zombies in it
Disadvantages: Milla Jovovich, terrible performances, a story ripped from other movies

...Paul S Anderson for creating Resident Evil: Extinction and allowing me to take a massive dump all over it. Now, despite everything I'm about to say in this review, I'd like it to go on record that I actually don't mind the Resident Evil film series. Yes, the acting is usually substandard, some of the set pieces would make a James Bond villain cringe, and they often stray so far from their source material that it leaves me wondering whether the writers ...
...At least, they did until Resident Evil: Extinction. Set several years after the events of the last movie, the T-virus has escaped beyond Racoon City and infected the whole world, turning virtually the entire population into mindless zombies. As the clumsy opening narration informs us, the virus also seems to have caused the rivers and lakes to dry up, reducing much of the earth's surface to a barren desert wasteland. Quite how a genetically engineered ...

Evil in Residence

Advantages: Twists at the start
Disadvantages: You've seen almost all of it before elsewhere

...twist at the end of Resident Evil: Apocalypse doesn't seem to have been used much which may annoy or confuse some viewers who were expecting it to be developed on. There are a few nods back to it now and then and Alice seems to have developed telekinetic abilities as well from no-where (no idea if that was ever used in any of the games having only played 1 of them). There is a lovely old school nod in homage back to the Hitchcock classic "The Birds" ...
...get going and would benefit from a cut of about 20 minutes (where the survivor caravan is established). The action in places is cut a bit too fast to be watchable but the film brings some new ideas to the Resident Evil franchise. (this review also appears on dooyoo) ...

This is not a game!!!

Advantages: Good follow up
Disadvantages: Maybe a newer face would fit this role better!

The T-Virus has escaped containment even after the nuclear destruction of Raccoon City. Drying up the lakes and the rivers the T-Virus could not be contained by The Umbrella Corporation, aswell as infecting the human population and spread to other species. The only human authority is the remaining Umbrella corporations around the world living in hive like structures underground. In the desert remains of the United States Alice (Milla Jovovich) is ...
...Umbrella. Her ability to bond with the T-Virus makes her top priority to be captured by The Umbrella Corporation. Dr. Sam Isaacs (Iain Glen) believes that he can use her blood to develop a permanent cure, as well as tame the infected. Umbrella chairman Albert Wesker (Jason O'Mara) orders Isaacs to create a cure using clones created from Alice's blood. Dr. Isaacs' attempts to domesticate the infected have led to a new breed of zombie but is uncovered ...
