Movie Discussion – “Resident Evil: Apocalypse”

I have a lot of respect for Milla Jovovich and
Sandrine Holt. If I saw this movie, would that
change?

  1. super powers
    I was exited about this (I liked the games, and zombie-killings are fun to
    watch) until I saw in the ads that Mila’s character now has superpowers. Er,
    superpowers? Why?

      Because the Umbrella Corp. likes to fiddle with people’s DNA. I haven’t seen the movie yet but I’m guessing it has something to do with a counter to the ‘Nemesis’ program.

  2. Roger Ebert

    I just have to share one of Roger Ebert’s comment on this movie: “Parents: If you encounter teenagers who say they liked this movie, do not let them date your children.”

  3. My comment
    My wife and I went to see it yesterday. We had high hopes as we really liked #1. We thought it was ok, but not nearly as good as #1.

    The story wasn’t as detailed as #1 and in fact felt more like a video game than that of a movie. What there was of the story was ok, it took a long time to get started and then finished quickly.

    I was disappointed that we didn’t get to see much of Jil Valentine in action in the second half of the movie, once the boys with guns showed up she took a back seat.

    Also, the movie used a video technique which I absolutely loath, its called halt or stutter motion. Personally, I think it looks aweful, a true example of a 3rd rate director. This effect was used a great deal when showing the zombies and made me gringe every time it was used.

  4. Not going to see it
    The first one was too gorry for my tastes. I enjoyed it all the way up to the scene where several members of the team were cut into little pieces in the man trap. I ask myself, why would someone design a mantrap like that? They wouldn’t, unnecessary, too messy and illegal. It would be designed to hold the people until the proper authorities showed up to place them under arrest or question them. Whoever designed such a system would simply be thrown in jail for murder.

      On a similar note, I stopped watching the movie Cube for the same reason, though I think the similar scene came even earlier in the movie.

        Its the first scene in Cube.

        And you went to see a zombie movie and you thought it was too
        gory? You must not be familiar with the videogames, who are also gory. In
        fact, RE2 was the first videogame I saw with a warning when you load that
        “this game contains exessive violence and gore”.

        They wouldn’t, unnecessary, too messy and illegal. It would be designed to
        hold the people until the proper authorities showed up to place them under

        Yup, you ain’t familiar with the franchise : )

        Well, the people who built this are also the kind of people who make viruses
        that turn people into zombies. They have their own private military-like
        police force, and bribe and blackmail the officials of the towns where they
        operate.

        P.S. Avoid dawn of the dead, and any movie with the word “zombie” in the
        title, they too contain gore and people with total disregard for the law and the
        safety of others. Just a head’s up : )
