Total Recall: Resident Evil and the Three Movies of the Post-Apocalypse

by Alex Vo | September 19, 2007

Summary

The T-virus has decimated billions, zombies have taken over, and, in the middle of a Nevada desert, only Milla Jovovich and her caravan of survivors stand a chance of saving the world. Such is the premise to Resident Evil: Extinction. Its the final installment to the popular action/horror trilogy and this week we'll inspect its cinematic roots. Back to Article

Anderson is only slightly better than Uwe Boll when it comes to video game movies, and only because Mortal Kombat did a decent job making a movie out of a bunch of colorful characters who do nothing but fight each other and that have only a brief paragraph of backstory each. the Resident Evil movies are nothing more than bad sci-fi films that sample (badly) much better films every step of the way. i'm so glad they're ending after this one (or at least i hope they are) because i can't stand watching Milla Jovovich and her fiance making the games look worse and worse with these ugly stepchildren movies.

I was a high school senior when Night of the Comet came out, so yeah, that movie was playing directly to me. I remember watching it over and over on HBO. I still love that movie, even though it's become a bit cringe-worthy after almost 25 (gulp!) years. The best one-liner in the film ("I'm not crazy, I just don't give a f**k!") is still one of my favorites. And for you trekkie/ers out there, check it out for a pre-Voyager Chakotay.

I'd like to mention Vincent Price's 1964 classic The Last Man on Earth (86 percent). The grand-daddy of post-apocalypse movies.

We're probably going to save Last Man on Earth for the I am Legend Total Recall article. I wanted to write about A Boy and His Dog but I couldn't find the DVD anywhere (rrgh) in time, so replaced it with Omega Man at the last second.

Great editoral, but I'm trying to figure out why it's in the news section. I think you should have a movie "editorial section" for such articles. In the news section I would like to see "news" about movies, and not articles like this.

And btw the new, news set up for the front page in this section is not as good as the old set up.

Great story however.
