Milla Jovovich (5th Element, Dummy) returns as Alice,... A deadly virus has been unleashed on the population of Raccoon City. Resident Evil: Apocalypse is a terrifying adventure in survival horror. Milla Jovovich (5th Element, Dummy) returns as Alice, one of only two survivors of the contained biochemical disaster in the first Resident Evil, the $100 million hit that serves as a prologue to the all-out action and horror of Resident Evil: Apocalypse. The film begins where the first film left off, with Alice in the heart of the ravaged and deadly Raccoon City. She has been subjected to biogenetic experimentation by the vast Umbrella Corporation and become genetically altered, with super-human strengths, senses and dexterity. These skills, and more, will be needed if anyone is to remain alive. Alice is joined by Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory – Time Machine, Helen of Troy), a recently demoted member of Umbrella Corp’s elite Special Tactics and Rescue Services (S.T.A.R.S.), Terri Morales (Sandrine Holt – Once a Thief, Happy Hour), Carlos Oliviera (Oded Fehr – The Mummy, Presidio Med), L.J. (Mike Epps – Next Friday, All About the Benjamins), and Nicholai (Zack Ward – Titus, Almost Famous) who must survive and escape what is quickly becoming a City of the Dead. To reach their goal, they will need to battle their way through the relentless onslaught of the ravenous undead, as well as Umbrella forces and terrifying bioengineered weapons, the most deadly of which is the colossal, heavily armed assassin, Nemesis. Also featured in Resident Evil: Apocalypse are Thomas Kretschmann (U-571, 24, The Pianist), Jared Harris (I Shot Andy Warhol, Mr. Deeds) and Sophie Vavasseur (Evelyn). -- © Columbia Pictures [More]

Reviews for Resident Evil: Apocalypse
A série Resident Evil também se transformou em um morto-vivo. E já está devorando os cérebros de seus espectadores.
The longer the story goes on, the more it feels like a live action video game and not a real movie.
I haven't seen action scenes shot and edited this badly since the 2002 remake of Rollerball.
[An] elaborate gory gaming gimmick. The feisty energy and revolving recklessness cannot overcome the absurdity and superficial aspect of this unfocused hedonistic horror show
Nemesis looks like what would happen if The Toxic Avenger ate The Terminator. He fires a rocket launcher. Stuff ’splodes, people die. Get back to your Cheetos.
It's not good, but it's enjoyable on a purely visceral level. It is an improvement over the first film in every possible factor.
The best thing is that director Witt actually manages, amid the chaos, to centre on the characters and create people we can cheer for.
RE2's best reiteration, Alice's identity crisis, is refitted here to extend the game.
What the hell happened? I hadn't been more certain of a trainwreck since I heard Tony Danza was coming out with a new talk show...
Is it utopian to expect better of the next first-person shooter that comes to the screen?
Shot with such un-inspired flatness that we frequently can't even see just what the heck is going on.
Resident Evil: Apocalypse has some shocks, but its flesh-chomping zombies and evil corporate honchos amount to the same old mayhem, just bigger and louder.
[Witt's] journeyman effort totally lacks Anderson's smart-trash poetics and pulp-art visual sense.
The 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.
