Not as good as the first one.

Rating: 3/10 (1 March 2020)

I loved the first Resident Evil, and rated it 8/10, which in my rating system puts it in my top 60 movies. I loved the Marilyn Manson intro, the Red Queen, the setup, and the fact that it aspired to do something other than excessive pajama fighting, and zombie shooting gallery. It wasn't "Citizen Kane" in terms of profundity, but there were enough well done horror and sci-fi / cbyerpunk elements to score well with me. Some of the scenes, particularly early in the movie, were very well done.
In contrast, Apocalypse is nothing but a minor revision of the original plot, excessive pajama fighting, and zombie shooting gallery. I understand Milla Jovovich was supposed to be a bio-enhanced human, so her kung fu now has extra wires and CGI, but super pajama fighting is not, in and of itself, interesting to me. This entire movie could have been reduced to two or three scenes, and appended to the end of the first movie to much better effect.
I have read other reviews which say Apocalypse is closer to the video games than the original, but I have not played them, and don't plan to.
The worst part is, there was no real reason to dumb Apocalypse down. The actors were half-way decent, the budget was there, and they had better effects technology available. Someone could have spent some time removing a lot of the redundant fighting, and try to resuscitate the flat lined second act. There were SOME good ideas, so the production wasn't completely devoid of creativity.
The audio was pretty good, much more electronic than the first one if memory serves. Nothing nearly as good as the Marilyn Manson intro in the first one, still pretty good.
Not recommended. Watch Escape from New York, The Raid Redemption, or Aliens (the second one) if you want a much better "escape from the hostile zone" type movie.
