Resident Evil: Apocalypse Reviews
It is certainly bad news for cinema when a video game gets turned into a full-length feature film.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 8, 2019
By-the-numbers gory horror flick -- not for kids.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 28, 2010
Fans of the games will have fun spotting the Easter eggs on display, but precious little else. Indeed, the chief horror here is the cliffhanger promising a third instalment.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 1, 2006
The heart plummets at the prospects for a follow-up.
| Feb 9, 2006
A zombie movie as dead-eyed and soulless as its walking dead villains.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 6, 2004
This is strictly second-tier terror.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Sep 19, 2004
How quickly things change. Resident Evil: Apocalypse is terrible, free of any of the guileless charm or B-movie cheekiness that made the original such a repulsive joy.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 18, 2004
Is it utopian to expect better of the next first-person shooter that comes to the screen?
| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 17, 2004
The undead are back to stumbling in the dark, sometimes even in blurry slo-mo, making the many packs of them about as terrifying as the mobs waiting for Matt and Katie outside the Today studio.
| Original Score: D- | Sep 16, 2004
Obviously padded, too long on action, and painfully short on irony.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse accomplishes the odd feat of having several things going on at once yet never being terribly exciting.

... dreadful piece of work.

Alexander Witt's campy Resident Evil: Apocalypse. may be brain dead, but it's nonetheless also heartily, feverishly alive.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 11, 2004
Monstrous zombies rampage through a peaceful metropolis. Carnage is everywhere. Still, one can't help but yawn one's way through Resident Evil: Apocalypse.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 10, 2004
It's junk, but it's fun junk, and its target audience won't be disappointed.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 10, 2004
Almost nothing in the movie seems original.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 10, 2004
Even for one interested in bio-horror, RE:A is pretty generic stuff.

There is nothing startlingly new in Resident Evil: Apocalpyse, but it is delivered with some panache and humor.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 10, 2004
Should please the target audience.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 10, 2004
There is no acting or character development here -- just shouting, shooting and calisthenics.
