![]() ![]() The overall location and set of this movie are fantastic, which is it's real claim to fame here. The special effect scenes involving the lickers, explosions, etc were par for the course really, but it was nice to see the slow-mo bullet sequence appear here as it has become a staple of any movie in which a gun is used since the success of the first Matrix and whatever movie the Wachowski Bros ripped it from. The action scenes were okay, entertaining and not dragged out. There were more references and subtle details thrown into this movie making it a more complete game to movie conversion. ![]() And that's what I think made this sequel so enjoyable. I was a fan of the games, for the action and the sheer expasiveness of the settings where the game was played. The story was laid out decently enough, nothing too innovative or complex, but then again there was nothing innovative or complex about the games in which this movie was based from. They just had to be convincing at looking scared, angry and eventually dead. The actor's performances were alright, I mean really, there was nothing too challenging about their roles. Apocalypse had a sense of urgency that I thought kept the plot rolling at a nice pace. First off, I liked this movie, a little better than the first actually. I hope to give a fair review for Resident Evil: Apocalypse. I have benefited from fair reviews in which the critic still disapproves of a movie, but lists it's merits as well as it's faults. But as I have said, everyone has an opinion and that's what makes sites like this worth checking out. It happened with AvP, in which complaints of bad lighting, bad angles on combat scenes and a general absent-mindedness for logic in the plot ruined any anticipation that built up when watching the trailer over and over. It's very disappointing however, to check the reviews and see that virtually no one appreciated a movie that I had high hopes for but have yet to watch. Usually there are a variety of opinions ranging from "excellent" to "pure crap" for any movie, no matter how ridiculous it may seem to me and I respect that. When a movie trailer peaks my interest, one of the first things I do is come to this site to see what others have thought about the film. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I think that's what makes IMDb such a great site for reviews.
