Resident Evil: Apocalypse

Resident Evil: Apocalypse is a kick-ass action flick but when i first watched it on video way back in early 2000's i didn't like it. Now in 2022 I've watched it again & think it's Awesome!!!

Apocalypse isn't as good as the first film but it's still a damn good sequel & companion piece to that film.

The Apocalyptic scale of Raccoon City promised at the end of the first film is on full display here. The city is in a panic & the corrupted Umbrella company is locking everything down & locking everyone in. The virus has spread from the reopening of The Hive & our hero Alice (Milla Jovivich) is on the hunt. Jovovich is Awesome again in her "Ripley" type of role & gets to team up with other survivors including some left-behind S. T. A. R. S soldiers & what we get is a group of survivors trying to make their way to safety & rescue a young girl lost in the chaos.

The action scenes are well done with cool kick-ass stunts & slick feel to it all. The atmosphere is done well with a blueish look to everything & with a mist & rain it has a nice Horror film feel & look. There's plenty of Zombie action & the cool looking Nemesis creature that is like a big mutant Terminator & looks Awesome.

Mike Epps (Next Friday) is pretty fun as one of the group & has fun in his role.

Apocalypse is just a damn good fun action-packed ride, a fun late-night movie ride.
