Wait For The DVD Rental

Rating: Null/10 (9 September 2004)

Thursday, September 9, 2004
I went to see a preview of this movie last night and I must say it was a bit of a let down. The first movie had a lot of suspense with interesting characters.
APOCALYPSE is your typical Hollywood blockbuster with a big budget and big explosions but that's about it. The characters were quite stale with stale dialogue, especially the quite-anticipated character of Jill Valentine who seemed like a Lara Croft clone. The actress seemed to be an amateur who delivered her lines melodramatically.
There were too many story lines and characters that did not have the opportunity of being flushed out in the span of ninety minutes. This was especially detrimental for the character of Nemesis and his relation to Alice as it pertains to this movie. Unless your a fan of the game or book series you would not have a clue.
I am a huge fan of horror/action films but would recommend that you wait for the DVD rental of this one.
