Nice action pack but less interesting

Rating: 8/10 (3 July 2005)

Similar in science-fiction and horror themes as the first RE, but soooo much better in a way as an action-genre movie. It reminds the first part, but develops the plot a bit farther now that everybody's out (including the disease so remarkable in these movies) from the Umbrella corp. labs.
Otherways, a lot in common with other classic scifi-action movies like the Terminator or/and zombie-movie genre. The only thing I dislike in this movie is the way it is directed, like the director had lost his slightest "sense" of filming. The scenes are developed quite typically and the story goes on slightly boringly (but there's enough action to make us forget the details) and keep the film interesting.
Compared to the first part of series this is somewhat less notorious from its main plot but more "entertaining" in a way like most follow ups. Naturally, that's because it is probably made with more money, more effects, more acting, in short, more of everything. Fundamental question still remains... will anybody walk out from the theater alive?
