Resident Evil: Apocalypse Review

Review of Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) by screenqueeen: 👎 2/5

Putting this up against the first RE movie shows that Anderson really knew what he was doing in 2002. By focusing on the specifically horror-oriented elements in the first one rather than the comic book/video-gamey quality of boss fight after boss fight in APOCALYPSE the narrative moves along with it, as dumb as it is. Even though this is a film that you just watch, Witt makes this about as engaging as watching a 90-minute cutscene from an actual video game. It also manages to peak about 30 or so minutes in during the church fight with Alice battling the Lickers.
