Tagline: My name is Alice and I remember everything.
Plot: A deadly virus has been unleashed on the population of Raccoon City. "Resident Evil: Apocalypse" is a terrifying adventure in survival horror. Milla Jovovich returns as Alice, one of only two survivors of the contained biochemical disaster in the first "Resident Evil," the $100 million hit that serves as a prologue to the all-out action and horror of "Resident Evil: Apocalypse". The film begins where the first film left off, with Alice in the heart of the ravaged and deadly Raccoon City. She has been subjected to biogenetic experimentation by the vast Umbrella Corporation and become genetically altered, with super-human strengths, senses and dexterity. These skills, and more, will be needed if anyone is to remain alive. Alice is joined by Jill Valentine (Guillory), a recently demoted member of Umbrella Corp’s elite Special Tactics and Rescue Services (S.T.A.R.S.), Terri Morales (Holt), Carlos Oliviera (Fehr), L.J. (Epps), and Nicholai (Ward) who must survive and escape what is quickly becoming a City of the Dead. To reach their goal, they will need to battle their way through the relentless onslaught of the ravenous undead, as well as Umbrella forces and terrifying bioengineered weapons, the most deadly of which is the colossal, heavily armed assassin, Nemesis.In the

The movie is an utterly meaningless waste of time. There was no reason to produce it, except to make money, and there is no reason to see it, except to spend money. It is a dead zone, a film without interest, wit, imagination or even entertaining violence and special effects.  --Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times)
With action scenes that seem to have no plot to pull the movie into any cohesion, ‘Apocalypse’ makes the first ‘Resident Evil’ movie look like high art.  --Harrison Cheung (Movie-Gurus.com)
Never pretending to be something it’s not, this sequel actually offers some decent story-telling while amping up the bullets, babes and blow-ups of its predecessor.  --Derek May (MovieWeb)
In the interests of full disclosure, I must report that RESIDENT EVIL: APOCALYPSE did offer one improvement over its predecessor. As my friend Daisy pointed out while we were exiting the theater, at least it wasn’t as loud as the first one was. Now if only the next installment proves to be not only less loud, but also less lousy.  --Andrea Chase (Killer Movie Reviews)
Most critics may dismiss this end-of-summer popcorn action spectacle as just another loud and dumbed-down video game movie . . . but really, how can you not love a movie with babe-a-licious heroines, piles of twice-dead corpses, enough shell casings to fill a dump truck, naked zombie hookers, a Joe Bob Briggs-inspired police sniper, and half-gnawed dobermans slathered in barbecue sauce?  --Brian McKay (eFilmCritic.com)
"Apocalypse" is basically just another zombie movie, where if a zombie bites you, you become one, and so forth. It might seem more thrilling if there hadn't just been "28 Days Later" and "Dawn of the Dead," both of which were much scarier, funnier and creative than this is. D--Eric D. Snider (EricDSnider.com)
Not ingenious by any stretch – the dialogue has moments of being undercooked and times where it’s pared too close to the bone to leave more room for action. 52/100--Mike DeWolfe (Apollo Guide)
It should come as no surprise that the ending leaves the story open to an inevitable third installment. Like hungry zombies, the producers know a good meal ticket when they see one.  --Robert Dominguez (New York Daily News)
What do you get when you combine bad actors with cheesy dialogue, horrible directing, a throwaway story, extras "pretending" to be the living dead, the city of Toronto, lots of smoke machines, plenty of darkness and a sad-sack pack of characters who we're supposed to give three shits about? 4/10--'JoBlo' (JoBlo.com)
There is nothing startlingly new in "Resident Evil: Apocalpyse," but it is delivered with some panache and humor. Along with ample glimpses of the two female leads' skin, the boys in the audience will appreciate an utterly gratuitous shot of topless zombie hookers.  --Lou Lumenick (New York Post)
From time to time America needs its fill of flesh-eating monsters, gorgeous women kicking ass without breaking a sweat, and undead Doberman Pinschers mauling the crap out of people. Resident Evil: Apocalypse is that movie.  --Dodd Alley (MovieWeb)
Yes, some of the sketches in Resident Evil 2: Apocalypse are campy, fun, enjoyable. But that doesn’t mean that they amount to anything. The sense of disparity in the making of this film must’ve been extraordinary. Rarely does it resemble anything near coherent; I feel ashamed that I was actually anticipating its release, originally.  --Danny Baldwin (BucketReviews.com)

| This is a boring waste of time that is quite obviously the product of a crew who should really know better. In more ways than one. --Kevin Thomas (eFilmCritic.com)
What do you get when you combine bad actors with cheesy dialogue, horrible directing, a throwaway story, extras "pretending" to be the living dead, the city of Toronto, lots of smoke machines, plenty of darkness and a sad-sack pack of characters who we're supposed to give three shits about? You get this movie along with a zoo of its other issues, all of which combine to make it one of the most annoying, redundant and uninteresting movies of the year. 4/10--'JoBlo' (JoBlo.com)
Marginally better than the first film, but that’s not saying very much – this has a few good moments but isn’t particularly scary or gory. --Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
If you liked RESIDENT EVIL, then APOCALYPSE will be right up your alley. If you didn't, don't expect any changes in your favor this time around. RESIDENT EVIL: APOCALYPSE is another chapter in what looks to be a long-running series of horror actioners.--Scott W. Davis (HorrorExpress.com)
There were some scenes where I was absolutely glued to the screen, and gripping my chair with excitement, but sadly those moments were few and far between... --Jon the Slightly Insane (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
As a film, it is terrible, and as a zombie film, it is terrible, but as an evening at the movies, you could do a lot worse. It is never boring, and if the absurdity of the story gets to you, shame on you for going to see a movie called Resident Evil 2 --Lyle Henretty (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
A highly enjoyable zombie-action ride. Has some plot-holes and minor imperfections, but if you don't pay too much attention to the little things and just sit back and relax, then you might find yourself enjoying it like I did.--FrighT MasteR (UHM)
