"Resident Evil : Apocolypse"

I have the original Resident Evil on DVD which I will admit I like to a certain extent but I would still only give it two stars. At some points it's really tense, gruesome and action packed like when the lasers are cutting them up but some bits are quite slow. I guess I feel they needed to sort out their consistancy.

Resident Evil : Apocolypse however, well they left the dazzling protagonist in a world with no rules, an army of zombie like creatures and a shot gun. I think it's safe to say that like X-Men 2 or the Lord Of The Rings trilogy this is going to be better than the one before it.

I don't know that much about it however but I want to get a general idea what the plot is going to be etc.(A certificate would be nice too, only 16). Any info and views on this just post them here. Thanks :D

Anyone remember those things called CRIMSON HEADS? Nemesis ran after you too.
So the undead can run.

28 days later was ____________ <---- insert bannable offence here.

It'd certainly get the adrenaline going!

That would be a good idea. You'd be foced to run a lot more, and with the hordes of 'zombies' that come running after you, it's bound to be scary!

Hehe, the blood puking parts weren't very nice! Would be good to see a 28 Days Later game, would be nice and tense!

They will do in the remake of "Dawn of the Dead"

Plus, the Infected in "28 Days Later" were not undead, as you mention. I found them pant wettingly scary. Especially the puking blood bits. Urg.

Love the games, loved the film. Sure I will love this next one, too.

You can't go wrong with a zombie movie.

Well, unless it's called '28 Days Later'.

Zombies... RUNNING? Erm, NO!

Okay, they weren't "true" zombies, but still. A large part of the menace of zombies is the slow yet relentless shuffling towards you, as so brilliantly emphasised in Romero's films.

The undead DO NOT RUN!

That was the only thing new about it that trailer. It'll probably be included in the second movie somehow by having it as an advert on a TV in a half destroyed shop or something.

2 looks like it will be mucho like the games. An armed woman in the street with lots of rampaging zombies and crashed cars scattered around the place.

I keep reading posts of people saying 'The first film sucked because it wasn't anything like the game'. But people don't realise that it's a prequel before they watch it.

The trouble with Resident Evil was the director gained influences from the game to make the film rather than follow Capcom's lead and gain influences from Romero's "Of The Dead" trilogy.

The result was a fun, but very forgettable and often ludicrous movie that was more action than horror. The sequel will be the same, I doubt very much it will bare any similarities between any other horror film out there, it'll instead bare more in common with the game.
