resident evil: apocalypse

where the first movie was a simple twist on the haunted house genre, this one is just flat out action! alice goes back above ground after the earlier incident, only to find that the virus has infected the whole city! after raccoon city is quarantined, she and a few other people who are uninfected (including the kick-ass chick jill valentine, who i believe is from one of the games). they must save a little girl and try to flee the city before the umbrella corporation drops a bomb to wipe out all those effected by the virus. as a sequel, this one doesn't really hold up. the story is paper thin, it seems more like just an excuse to blow up zombies. the final showdown between alice and the terrible looking creature called 'nemesis' (which i've heard again, is from the game itself) was pretty lame and unnecessary. this is certainly the weekest of the resident evil series.
