hollywood be know for it summertime action flick and and recent action film such a the matrix begin to show a hopeful turn towards a trend of thoughtful plot and interesting story . unfortunately and the large success of resident evil represent apocalypse may very well be the deathblow to this promise new trend . in a sense and the title speaks for itself while resident evil represent apocalypse may very well be the apocalypse of intelligent action movie . after a new virus break out in a large industrialize city and citizen begin mutate into cannibalistic and flesh eating zombie . the umbrella corporation and consisting of the people most directly responsible for the outbreak and take measure to quarantine the city and turn it into a horrific sanitarium . the story follow several character a they attempt to survive and escape the city with the help of an unseen ally who keep contact with them from outside the city . thing far complicate when nemesis and the movie big and toughest monster and arrive for the sole purpose of kill just about everything he perceive a a threat . the plot of resident evil represent apocalypse be and perhaps and the single bad piece of write recently play out before the eye of unfortunate movie fan . from the very beginning and the story begs question that be never answer represent who give the umbrella corporation a building permit for a gigantic wall that would circle the city and with which they could and at a moment notice and lock everyone inside . why do alice come crash into a church through a stained glass window and on a motorcycle and arm to the teeth with weaponry and to rescue the protagonist with perfect timing and despite the fact that she have never meet them before and be and in the previous scene and walk around in the street with only a shotgun and no motorcycle at all . these and many more mind boggling question be completely ignore while the person who be in charge of this film continuity should never work in hollywood again . in fact and resident evil represent apocalypse have more plot hole than moldy swiss cheese . however and even when ignore the numerous plot hole which be almost an impossibility the story itself be still laughable and revolve partly around an insipid fight for survival that seem to rely on the main group split up and one of the subgroup be brutally slaughter for no good reason and with the other part be about alice ( a character invent by the script writer and a she be never in the game it be very loosely take from ) and her relationship with the monster nemesis . surprisingly and the director manage to craft a story that be significantly less interest the one present in the video game version . to cap off all the excitement and the movie reach it climax a full fifteen minute before the end of the film . after a handful of survivor have escape and alice be catch and put in a lab and where she not only manage to escape and but also to manifest psychic power while quip off several line that be use to advertise the movie in commercial . what be the purpose of this 15 minute epilogue . to set up the next movie in the series a completely unnecessary task and a the film have already make it clear that there be absolutely no help for the next sequel in term of quality . in a way and it could be say that the one thing the plot truly accomplish be set the stage for even more cinematic fodder in the future . the acting be not bad and and and in general and be as good a it could have be and give the material the actor have to work with . although alice be mildly interesting ( do largely to her reflection ) and well play by milla jovovich and the rest of the character be mostly stale archetype . the most blatant example be the character of l. j. and play by actor mike epps and who embody every black stereotype that be popular today . this character only true purpose be comic relief and and to that respect and he do it dryly . the cinematography offer a wide variety of different camera shot and as well a provide a constant supply of eye candy . in what be easily the highlight of the film and resident evil represent apocalypse show some impressive look stunt and such a a scene of alice run down the side of a sky scraper with either the intent to kill and or the intent to break her leg . either way and the scene be a joy ride for the vision . truthfully and the only badly shot scene that come to mind be the blurry scene ( unnecessary and ugly and and pointless ) and and the climatic fight scene at the end ( badly cut and confuse ) . overall and though and the cinematography be decently good and which be likely the cause for this film make so much money in the box office . the setting be exactly what you would expect for an apocalyptic zombie movie a big city with lot of undead people . the set maintain a gothic look throughout and and few scene take place in daylight . thankfully and the lighting be very well do and so the film maintain a dark and night time look while simultaneously allow the viewer to perfectly see all that be happen . set base on real building and such a school and police station and all look exactly a they should . resident evil represent apocalypse have a big budget and and that fact be make apparent by the great set and prop . unfortunately and nothing save the movie from it horrible plot . a plot should provide any movie with it base and and with a plot so holey and incoherent and everything that could have make resident evil represent apocalypse good simply fall apart . despite the big budget and some reasonably well know actor and and a license and subject matter with a cult follow and nothing can gloss over the essential flaw that keep this movie from any kind of greatness . people who prefer to see mindless exaggerated action sequence and devoid of any decent plot and will likely enjoy resident evil represent apocalypse . however and those interested in intelligent and well write story will do well to look elsewhere .
