Fun.

Rating: 8/10 (25 November 2011)

Picking up immediately where Resident Evil left off, Apocalypse sees Umbrella Corporation employee turned zombie ass-kicker Alice (Milla Jovovich) waking up to discover that the 'T-Virus', which can reanimate dead cells, has spread from underground facility The Hive to the surface, transforming much of the population of Raccoon City into ravenous zombies. With the quarantined city scheduled to be nuked, Alice's only chance for survival is to join a small group of survivors in a mission to locate the daughter of a top Umbrella scientist, a job made even harder with Project Nemesis, a massive mutant toting a mini-gun, loose on the streets...
Sometimes it's so hard to find the right words to convey my feelings about a film that it takes me as long to write my review as it took to watch the bloody thing in the first place. That's one reason why I love the Resident Evil films: they're such pure, mindless, popcorn entertainment that I don't have to struggle when it comes to typing up my thoughts. In Apocalypse, there's tons of zombies, which equals fun. There's Milla Jovovich looking fit and shooting big guns, which equals fun, plus we get a second babe in the form of sexy cop Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory). And there's mutants and blood and explosions and kung fu and zombie dogs and scary stuff and cool effects, all of which means even more fun.
See... that was easy peasy—no need for me to even use the thesaurus!
