52 Weeks of Zombie Carnage Movie Reviews: Residen Evil: Apocalypse


This fine movie picks up where the first one left off.  Alice awakes in the Raccoon City Hospital and mayhem has ensued.  The good old Umbrella Corporation has re-opened the hive and allowed the T-Virus to make it out.  The city is completely locked down but the creator of the T-virus can't leave without his daughter.  He recruits a group of stranded military and Alice along with a couple of civilians to find his daughter, promising them a way out of the city.

With the undead roaming the city in search of a meal of the living it is hard going.  There are some of the genetically engineered monstrosities roaming about as well.  The group fights their way to the school with the girl and encounter the vicious dogs and a bunch of flesh eating kiddos.  They fight their way back to the waiting helicopter and of course there is an ambush.

Alice kicks ass as usual and they escape the bomb that is meant to hide all of the evidence.  There is plenty left unanswered for the next movie.  I liked this one pretty well, though it wasn't the best of them.  This movie is based on the Capcom Video game Resident Evil and it definitely has a feel of playing it on Play Station or some other game console.  In this instance the game was better than the movie.  The special effects were good and who doesn't like looking at Alice?

Next week we will continue the epic series.  More zombie flesh eaters to come.  I didn't have time to post much this week but perhaps next week will will add some of the ideas that the readers came up with for the during the week blogs.  Got a suggestion?  Send an email to zombiebedlam@gmail.com or leave a comment here.  Love to hear what you think and ideas and comments and whatever.  Stay strong and avoid all those zombies!
