The zombie apocalypse is upon us. Alice (Milla Jovovich) is still trying to gather up survivors while the evil umbrella corporation is yet again making experiments on them.
The Resident Evil franchise (also known as the franchise who doesn’t want to die) keeps getting worse and worse with every iteration. It actually reached a point where is so bad that it is actually good. Like when Alice is looking desperately to find somebody still alive because in the post apocalyptic world there are more Umbrella henchmen than free human being Or the cameos at the end that we had to look up on Wikipedia. This movie really makes no sense.
On the other hand I must admit every Resident Evil movie makes more money than the last one. I sincerely wonder if all the movie goers got the joke. The alternative is that out there exist a fan base that eagerly waits for the next iteration.
There is still a certain fascination in watching Milla Jovovich kicking zombie’s ass but the action, even the big set pieces, is silly and badly choreographed.
The main bad guy, Albert Wesker, is a video game villain in the worst possible way (We can tell that the main villain is stupid when he start shooting random henchmen just to prove he is evil).
I know that those are the modern descendants of the B movie of old but really for every nice B movie that we fondly remember there are hundreds that were terrible.
