My name is Alice and I remember everything.It's unbelievable that I haven't watched any of the Resident Evil movies. So, knowing that Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010) is being shown in Malaysian cinemas now, I begin to watch the Resident Evil series, starting with Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004). Well, I still missed the first movie though. :S
Synopsis from IMDb: Alice (Milla Jovovich) awakens from a terrible sleep to find her worst fears realized -- the bloodthirsty Undead, which she and the now-annihilated squad of elite military fought to destroy, have been unleashed on the city that surrounds the secret facility of the Umbrella Corporation. Discovering she was an Umbrella experiment, Alice has been bio-genetically enhanced with new strengths, senses and dexterity -- and she will need them.
In the heart of the ravaged Raccoon City, a small group of uninfected people, including Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory), a recently demoted member of Umbrella Corporation's elite Special Tactics and Rescue Services team, and S.T.A.R.S team leader Carlos Oliveira, fight for their lives against swarms of Undead and the deadlier and faster Lickers. Running out of luck and resources, the group is rescued by Alice, and they begin to wage an exhilarating battle to survive and escape before the Umbrella Corporation erases its experiment from the face of the earth...
Surprisingly, I find myself enjoying this fast-paced and intense zombie-cum-apocalypse movie. Contrary to my initial belief, this movie doesn't have much blood and gore fest, much to my relief. Milla Jovovich and Sienna Guillory, the two female lead actresses are hot in action in all sorts of adrenaline-pumping stunts and impressive weapon handling. Two thumbs up!
Now, I should find time to watch Resident Evil: Extinction (2007). ;)
Update: Watched Resident Evil: Extinction (2007).
