Ralph R Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) takes the franchise in a more action-heavy direction, but in doing so, it loses some of what made the first movie work. The story is straightforward and somewhat interesting, but it lacks any real depth, feeling more like an excuse to string together set pieces rather than a well-developed plot. The horror elements are almost an afterthought, making the zombies feel out of place in what plays more like an over-the-top action movie. The directing choices are questionable, with excessive shaky cam and overblown shots that make certain action scenes harder to follow. Slow motion is a nice touch, but it’s used so frequently that it feels more like a gimmick than a stylistic choice. That said, the cinematography does have its moments, particularly in a few key sequences. The introduction of Nemesis is handled well, even if his overall presence in the movie could have been stronger. Milla Jovovich remains the highlight, delivering her signature mix of badassery and effortless style while taking on enemies with superhuman agility. The script is basic, filled with cheesy dialogue that doesn't add much weight to the story. The soundtrack keeps the aggressive, industrial vibe from the first film, but the overall execution of the movie feels uneven. While it has entertaining moments, it doesn’t match the balance of action, horror, and sci-fi that made the original so engaging. It’s a fun watch if you just want mindless action, but as a follow-up to Resident Evil, it’s definitely a step down. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/25 Full Review D3Z 1 As much as it takes the name of Resident Evil, it seems like Paul W S Andersen still had not learned anything from his errors as the sequel is equally as bad as the 2002 film in which they somewhat made characters especially Jill Valentine and Nemesis from the third game very dull and Alice still does not add anything interesting to the plot and story. In addition to the choppy and chaotic editing like the previous entry, the writing is still a muddled mess. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/25 Full Review B K You need to have your gaming head on to enjoy this. Some nice gore, but otherwise a routine horror. It is amazing to see a horror film where there is zero feeling of threat. An amazing feat considering the amount of ‘good guys’ that get totalled. Good fun if you like playing the game, but otherwise routine.
