If you liked Resident Evil 1 you will most certainly like Resident Evil Apocalypse

Rating: 8/10 (10 September 2004)

I just saw this movie in my local cinema. To be honest, I didn't have high expectations for Resident Evil: Apocalypse but I was pleasantly surprised.
One of the main reasons I didn't have that high of a expectation for resident evil is because I really liked Resident Evil 1 a lot. I especially like the open ending it complimented the computer game perfectly. I was therefore surprised to see that a second movie was to be made.
I personally like how the first move was made, with provocative camera angles great lighting etc. Resident evil 2 continues with the same visual style and makes use of some of the new ideas other movies have used since Resident Evil 1 was made. I think that they have found a good balance between CGI, animatronics and classic special effect makeup.
Story wise Resident Evil 2: Apocalypse picks up where the original move left us. We are first introduced to the new characters in this move and then we see Milla Jovovich. The store is that the T-Virus has spread to Racoon City and everybody has to flee out of the city before total lockdown. Afterwards they will be on their own.
Some of the things I didn't like about the story was the way Alice meets the other main characters it seemed a bit too lucky. The last thing I didn't like was the way the monster of the movie was made. It looked way to computer-animated, and I have to agree with the guy on the forum who says that it looks like the monster from the computer game Doom3.
Anyway I really liked the movie, it's a great continuation of the first move. If you liked Resident Evil 1 you will most certainly like Resident Evil Apocalypse. I therefore give it 8 out of 10
