Literally and probably the only best live action resident evil movie we have. I remember watching this as a kid and enjoyed it alot. Now I appreciate it even more due to its own original unique store and atmosphere. All the other resident evil movies made by Paul Anderson are shit

@erw1502 2 года назад

@@dragonweyr44 the new one is good. They condensed re1 and re2. Sadly they left some stuff out, and messed up a few key characters. The story isn't exactly perfect, but I think it makes it more accessible to non re fans. Overall I enjoyed it, but certain parts let me down. I really hope the rebooted series gets some sequels.

I loved the original Resident Evil as a kid. Alice was subdued and vulnerable for most of the movie, unlike the boring superhero she became in later movies. I also loved Michelle Rodriguez and the zombies looked great.

@danielalvarez2365 Год назад

Reading that Michelle was actually written in as a main character but later turned back into a background character at the request of milla who felt her action scenes were taken away pisses me off . Michelle definitely had a more badass character and she deserved to be in the sequel . I think the biggest mistake they did was not keeping her in as Jill and having Alice just be Claire and Matt be chris . The story would’ve made much more sense . Doesn’t make sense that Alice works for umbrella and is completely unaware of what they are developing and what she’s protecting and it doesn’t make any sense that she suddenly regains consciousness and becomes a hero . They should’ve scrapped her direct involvement w umbrella and just made her and Matt both cops . And I think Michelle as Jill would’ve been badass they could’ve taken down the boss or final licker together imo w a flamethrower cause the whole licker crucified by tongue is corny asf . But milla just HAD to be the star … apocalypse was also terrible in terms of plot it doesn’t make sense that they turned Matt into nemesis in less than a day .. and doesn’t make sense she just turns into this hero . Also they immediately brought in way too many new characters . If they would’ve kept her and Michelle it would’ve probably been much more satisfying. Alas we still have this first one

@Dragonfist12185 2 года назад

My best theory into why Alice got powers from the t-virus, is simple because of the fact, that since Alice is a clone of Alicia Marcus....she as already possess a very small (and I can not stress the small of a size she has) undetectable traces of the T-virus in her system. So when she infected during Project Nemesis, both the strains of the virus merged into what we saw on screen.

@talleywa5772 2 года назад

RE 1: amongst the gold standards of video game movie adaptations. A competently written mostly grounded narrative with clear reverence for the source material but did not shackle any of the story to an arbitrary 1:1 adaptation. The story very well could have been self-contained with the sequel hook being a wink to the audience. RE Apocalypse: A master class in how it can be acceptable to sacrifice tight storytelling and grounded narrative for the sake of some fucking fun and scale. After the claustrophobic atmosphere of the first film there was really no where to go except bigger. At this point it's safe to assume the bulk of your audience knows that they are watching a video game movie and if you're going to play on suspension of disbelief with the "fallen city" setting, then you can absolutely stretch your legs and lean a little more into video game whackiness. The story still stands on its own without overworking the source material and still maintaining that sense of reverence for it despite some... Interesting character choices. Don't worry Leon, they'll get you right someday. RE extinction and beyond: Master classes in how losing sight of what made your film IP unique can just turn it into the same mindless trophy video game adaptations that are destined for failure.

The thing that bothers me is that in the beginning this was an accident but in the end of the film they make it seem like that this was not an accident but on purpose and that they plan the end of the world starting from the first film to the end. Which makes no sense to you watch the first film.
