Synopsis: After an outbreak in a top-secret facility, Umbrella ponders on covering up their mistakes by releasing the deadly Nemesis to eliminate surviving STARS members in Raccoon City.
I feel that both of these films are somewhat underrated. They were hurt by critics who sort of missed the point and by video gamers who expected them to be carbon-copies of the games. They are, simply, very good zombie movies - lots of campy fun, great action, and even some genuine scares. They're just fun to watch, and one of the big reasons for that is Milla - who looks great and is just perfect for this role, simultaneously strong and vulnerable. (An earlier review said these were among her first films - in fact, she has been acting since 1991, when she famously appeared nude at age 14 in "Return to the Blue Lagoon". She is a veteran actress with nearly 20 films to her credit.)
It is true that these films don't do much that's new with the genre - if that's what you're looking for, see "28 Days Later" instead. But the Resident Evil films do the traditional zombie genre as well as any film has recently, with great special effects (these were big-budget films), good acting and a lot of action.

Not many video game based movies turn out well, but Resident Evil is an exception to the rule. The second rule is that a sequel is never as good as the original... Apocalypse breaks this rule. Although losing Michelle Rodriguez was dissapointing, the second movie obviously has a bigger budget and really lives up as a sequel. Now.. this movie IS based on a video game.. so if realistic plots and the norm is what you expect, you won't like this movie. But the original video game scared the bejesus out of me at the time and the movie sticks true to the game... especially the zombie dogs!! So have fun with these 2 movies, and they will prove to entertain you for sure!
