Top notch entertainment

Rating: 8/10 (14 January 2005)

I was really looking forward to seeing this film. I quite liked the original, but knew they could improve on it and in this sequel they have.
Events centre around Racoon city being quarantined after the T-virus is leaked into the atmosphere causing everyone to mutate into zombies and the like. A small group of survivors are assigned the task of retrieving Dr Ashford's daughter (the guy who invented the T-virus) who is trapped in the city. However, umbrella are hellbent on killing everyone in order to contain the outbreak and they deploy their top-secret bio-weapon NEMESIS into the disease ridden city. Cue lots of action scenes all held together by a decent storyline.
Sienna Guillory is taste and plays the Jill Valentine character well and Milla Jovovich returns in the lead role and is pleasing on the eye too. I look forward to a third film, if they make one. Should be good.
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
