Not enough zombies

Rating: 5/10 (21 February 2006)

If it involves zombies, I have to see it. Love all the Res. Evil games, and the first movie was great.
This movie wasn't too bad. It was a fun action film that didn't have a lot to it and didn't do anything terribly wrong. Nemesis was kind of corny, but I could deal with him.
Apocalypse picks up exactly where the first movie ended, which is always a plus in my book. They brought this one closer to the game, as Jill Valentine of Resident Evil 1 and 3 was a main character. Not a redhead in the movie, as they already had a redhead in Jovovich's Alice. The plot seemed mostly based on a combination of Resident Evil 3 and Resident Evil: Code Veronica. It involved the cover-up of the virus incident by Umbrella, but included elements of survivors being hunted by Nemesis while escaping. These two stories worked well together.
My problem was that, because of this, the movie didn't focus enough of the zombie battles, but instead took a turn to humans fighting each other near the end. But all in all, a fun movie if you don't want to think.
