Review of Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) by Ven-Wede — 18 Feb 2012
The Resident Evil films are the lowest form of both action and horror, and Apocalypse is not an exception -- in fact, it is the iteration that successfully destroyed any potential that the series might have had to thrill or entertain.
It acts as a figurative melting pot of ideas from W.S. Anderson, who has apparently watched a couple of gameplay videos of the Resident Evil games, but has never actually played one himself. Aside from the diabolically pathetic 'plot', the movie boasts lingering and repetitive action sequences, which are unequivocally textbook in execution.
Included in this tour-de-farce is a hackneyed story, flagrant slow motion, unnecessary angled camera shots, embarrassing one-liners, paper-thin characters, dreadful dialogue... okay, you get the picture -- it sucks; avoid.
