Resident Evil: Apocalypse

Yawn. Another big action flick, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, it has zombies too. Must be exciting, then.

Look, this is a great pizza and/or Saturday night movie. But really, the whole thing’s boringly brainless. What can you expect from something based on a video game? I can’t, offhand, think of one good movie based on a game. Thinking, thinking… nope, not one.

The final twist is kinda good but other than that, this is a completely by-the-numbers action/horror flick. Lots of colour, sound and movement and that’s it. I’ll give it to Milla Jovovich, she looks the part and obviously worked hard for the action and fight scenes.

But really, it’s a pretty predictable effort.

The really sad thing is I’ll probably see Resident Evil: Afterlife if it comes out. Probably not in the cinema, though.
