Reviews for Resident Evil: Apocalypse
Top CriticIs it utopian to expect better of the next first-person shooter that comes to the screen?
09/17/04
Top CriticThe undead are back to stumbling in the dark, sometimes even in blurry slo-mo, making the many packs of them about as terrifying as the mobs waiting for Matt and Katie outside the Today studio.
09/16/04
Top CriticObviously padded, too long on action, and painfully short on irony.
09/14/04
Top CriticResident Evil: Apocalypse accomplishes the odd feat of having several things going on at once yet never being terribly exciting.
09/14/04
Top Critic... dreadful piece of work.
09/13/04
Top CriticMonstrous zombies rampage through a peaceful metropolis. Carnage is everywhere. Still, one can't help but yawn one's way through Resident Evil: Apocalypse.
09/10/04
Top CriticAlmost nothing in the movie seems original.
09/10/04
Top CriticEven for one interested in bio-horror, RE:A is pretty generic stuff.
09/10/04
Top CriticUnlike the Lara Croft films -- which at least infused their software female with a certain feminism -- Resident Evil: Apocalypse is content to stick to big guns and basics.
09/10/04
Top CriticThere is nothing startlingly new in Resident Evil: Apocalpyse, but it is delivered with some panache and humor.
09/10/04
Top CriticShould please the target audience.
09/10/04
Top CriticThere is no acting or character development here -- just shouting, shooting and calisthenics.
09/10/04
Top CriticIt is, admittedly, pure trash. But it's trash with a bit of flash and a resonant bad science message.
09/10/04
Top CriticResident Evil: Apocalypse may offer a few cheap thrills, but the question remains: Why let some hack filmmaker control the action when you can stay home and play the video game yourself?
09/10/04
Top CriticA film without interest, wit, imagination or even entertaining violence and special effects.
09/10/04
Top CriticLike so many movies with a keypad for a brain, Resident Evil: Apocalypse is another exercise in making us feel the irritation associated with having to stand behind some game hack for our turn to play.
09/10/04
Top CriticWitt injects the film with plenty of razzle-dazzle on the visual side, but the pace deadens whenever the zombies are offscreen or the characters open their mouths long enough to do anything more than grunt.
09/09/04
Top CriticPlot and narrative? Minimal. Confrontations? Endless. Surprises? None.
09/09/04
Top CriticNo one looking for nonstop violence, galloping gore, end-of- days-style hysteria or dogs slathered in barbecue sauce will come away disappointed.
