I'm all for dumb entertainment (Swordfish and xXx are guilty pleasures for me) but this one lacks any innovation, even for its time, not to mention some poor acting (though Jovovich was the least aggressor in the cast). Some of the action was okay but much else felt like a waste of time. **2.0/5**

**Sure, it's not a masterpiece, but it is near and dear to my heart.** **EXTREME BIAS WARNING** I am fully aware that the rating I gave this movie doesn't entirely fit the quality of the film, but here are my flimsy reasons why this movie is almost a 5 of 5-star movie: 1. I am a major fan of the Resident Evil video games, and this is the one out of the Paul WS Anderson saga most similar to the games. 2. I grew up watching this movie with my dad over and over, so it has a good deal of nostalgia for me. 3. The introduction of Jill Valentine and Carlos Olivera is awesome! 4. The story following the fall of Raccoon City to hordes of undead while a small group of heroes tries to survive is my favorite plot of the franchise. 5. Lots of zombies and lots of action.

My favorite out of the series. Apocalypse was my favorite game too. Trying to battle Nemesis who is this big slow very powerful zombie like creature.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) takes the franchise in a more action-heavy direction, but in doing so, it loses some of what made the first movie work. The story is straightforward and somewhat interesting, but it lacks any real depth, feeling more like an excuse to string together set pieces rather than a well-developed plot. The horror elements are almost an afterthought, making the zombies feel out of place in what plays more like an over-the-top action movie. The directing choices are questionable, with excessive shaky cam and overblown shots that make certain action scenes harder to follow. Slow motion is a nice touch, but it’s used so frequently that it feels more like a gimmick than a stylistic choice. That said, the cinematography does have its moments, particularly in a few key sequences. The introduction of Nemesis is handled well, even if his overall presence in the movie could have been stronger. Milla Jovovich remains the highlight, delivering her signature mix of badassery and effortless style while taking on enemies with superhuman agility. The script is basic, filled with cheesy dialogue that doesn't add much weight to the story. The soundtrack keeps the aggressive, industrial vibe from the first film, but the overall execution of the movie feels uneven. While it has entertaining moments, it doesn’t match the balance of action, horror, and sci-fi that made the original so engaging. It’s a fun watch if you just want mindless action, but as a follow-up to Resident Evil, it’s definitely a step down.
