May not be the best film ever made, but man it rocked!

Rating: 8/10 (19 December 2004)

I wasn't a big fan of the games but i played them and enjoyed them thoroughly and take note like the first film its not a sequel or prequel or even a direct conversion of the games.
The movie begins with what happened between Alice's return to the surface with friend Matt up until the point she wakes up in the last part of the 1st movie. Racoon City has been over run with those infected with the T-virus, the Umbrella Corporation who have been carrying out top secret research into Cell re-growth, Re-Animation of dead cells and the creation of a super soldier-type procedure. As soon as the infection stretches to the city limits Umbrella seal off the perimeters to the city leaving the remaining inhabitants trapped inside.
Along with them is Jill Valentine (also a character in the games) and various members of S.T.A.R.S (Special Tactics And Resque Squadron - i think) they and Alice are being hunted not only by the ravenous undead but the unstoppable behemoth the Nemesis who is Alice's friend Matt who had been experimented on. All in the hope of finding the daughter of T-virus creator Dr Ashcroft and escaping.
The Film in my opinion did an excellent job of re-creating the Nemesis while including some kick-ass fights and a few cheesy 'Bullet Time' effects.

As for me, i thought it was ace!
