A Second 'Evil'

Rating: 6/10 (25 August 2005)

Two years after the original came out, they made a sequel called "Resident Evil: Apocalypse." Even though it was much better than I expected (with a plot that was a LOT more coherent and less dumb), its action was a lot more unbelievable than the action in the original.
In this one, the T-virus has escaped from 'The Hive' and is now running rampant on the streets of Raccoon City, turning people (and, once again, some dogs) into vicious, flesh-eating zombies. Milla Jovovich returns as security operative Alice who, with a group of survivors, agrees to find the daughter of Dr. Ashford (Jared Harris) who is trapped within the city limits.
The movie was a lot of fun, just like the first. Paul W.S. Anderson's script was well-written (although the ending was a little unsatisfying). Instead of Paul W.S. Anderson, Alexander Witt stepped into the director's chair for this one (he appears as a sniper who works for the Umbrella Corporation towards the end).
Overall, as good a sequel as the filmmakers could have made (just don't look for any logic).
