 Hey guys Jeremy here and my name is Pedro and we're reviewing Resident Evil Apocalypse now. We did the last review of the first film where we basically really just re-talked about the first film and said how it's nowhere near as good as anyone remembers it being and so we're continuing on leading up to the sixth film this time for the final chapter and the final, yeah the final, final, better bloody beat. We watched Resident Evil Apocalypse and it's even worse than I remember it being. It's so fucking bad. I couldn't stand it. It's kind of fun. It has its moments but it definitely had a production increase. It definitely had more nods to the video game. Definitely. Well obviously with the nemesis character being in Resident Evil 2 and 3 there's actually some action sequences that are a reference to Cope Veronica with the old windows. Yeah um and nemesis looked good but basically I just mentioned everything that was decent with this film. The rest of it is an absolute travesty. The fact that there are so many inconsistencies mean that the production must have been a mess. Either no one cared or they literally had such a bonehead team that no one seemed to notice all the shit they were doing. There's people who just appear out of nowhere. The story is an absolute train wreck. There are even editing inconsistencies like something that must have been done in post. At one point we were looking through some comments when we watched the movie and we saw that one person points out that Jill Valentine reloads her gun twice in the same six second period. Yeah she reloads it and then in the same conversation she's saying oh yeah we have to shoot them in the head and she's like re-re-reloading her same gun. And the thing is not only was that done with editing but audio had to do that too. Yeah it's true. So it's kind of like that bullet that purposely misses that guy alone in the dark. They did that in post they actually like did a bullet that totally missed him and they made him die. So that's like it's a purposeful destructive element to your own film and that's what you feel this whole film this whole this whole mess is literally just falling in your face the whole movie and nothing nothing works. It feels like from the ground up they had good intentions as good intentions can be. Well when you're your well first time director Alexander Witt has never directed anything since this movie. One and only. One and only. He's been known as a second unit DOP. So he's not even a first. I literally wonder how many people they went through before he came to him. He literally must have really got called. I'm gonna do it. And then ever since then he's been drinking himself to death because he realizes how much he screwed up with this movie. This is his magnum opus. Yeah. I mean at the end of the day here we are. A raccoon city. Characters we recognize. We see Jill Valentine. We see members of the Ashford family even though they're good guys now. That's the thing that Nikolai was a character that was supposed to be a bad guy but you know. Yeah terribly acted terrible Russian accent by a Canadian actor. That's something that we did find not bad not particularly good but interesting was that they added all these nods to characters from previous games yet they totally did them differently. Like Jill Valentine's a badass bitch and she was really like a nice person just kind of stuck in a bad situation in the video game. Yeah. And then Ashford's are the people who have like. Psycho. Yeah. Psycho. It's Jared Harris having a phone in. Yeah. So and then the action the action is something for a film like this is necessary at least in the first film it was decently shot. This film has taken action movie mentality to take it to take him to take into where basically you have in maybe a five second interaction and a fight scene you have over 10 cuts which does not work it looks sloppy you don't know what's going on and you can clearly tell they were doing that during the Nemesis fight scene. A guy in a huge prosthetic suit trying to seem as if he can like karate chop like Jackie Chan but instead you know in the reality but without editing he's just kind of swinging around. But with editing they just like have blistering cuts like to the point where it actually stops making sense and you have to just wait for the fight scene to end pretty much. The whole time you're watching this you're literally just watching this ball of garbage roll down a hill. I made that reference to the last review but literally I can't stand anything about this movie. I can't stand the black guy who has absolutely tasteless black stereotype jokes. Mike Epps. Yeah Mike Epps. Wow he's just an awful character in this film. Like I blame the writing. Yeah. Mainly I mean I don't mind comic relief in this type of movie but when all your jokes are just purely tasteless like it's like oh I get it he's sort of like a bro from the hood and then all the other characters are like the video game characters. Yeah and then the movie just even the movie doesn't even know what it's doing at the end. No I have no idea. Like the fight scene between Nemesis and that's probably the smartest part of the whole movie is when she has a memory of who he was and she feels bad about that and there's that emotional connection and then Nemesis does. Which is like the most destructive element of that character as far as what he represents in the video games but for the sake of this story it actually does make sense and then the movie just completely. They lose control. Yeah Alice dies and is brought back by unseen forces and it never makes sense of how they bring her back. Carlos and Jill who are wanted by the law and all authority or just walk up onto up to Umbrella's front door and take her away and then they take Alice away because what's his name who they replaced because Jason Isaacs was like fuck it I don't want to be in this movie. He's like let them go but in the beginning of the third film he's trying to fix it which obviously that no wait actually Paul W. Anderson wrote Paul W. Anderson wrote that part into it too so he wrote himself into a corner. It was really awful. I feel like you know all horrible things aside about the film you can watch it you can have fun with it for the first three quarters. It's that last quarter where you just like I lose all faith. It's bad. It's bad. It's not a good film. It's not it but I thought I liked it more until we saw it again. You don't feel bad one well actually no you do feel bad watching it but it's not awful to the point where I can't watch it anymore. Like you can finish it. Yeah if you've got nothing else to do which we should. It's not in orbit. No. Anyways I'm gonna be really harsh. I'm gonna give Resident Evil Apocalypse a one out of seven. I do not want to watch this movie again. It's even worse than I remembered it. I already didn't like it because I thought it was poorly made. This just cemented my fact of thought for that film. I thought this was like my favorite one my favorite in the whole series and you know you're basically. Is it still? I have to finish what? I know. Which is funny is like I'm actually looking forward to three now. Awkward. Mad Max. Mad Max was zombies and the funny thing is we watched just a fight scene from it and even though it's a still a silly fight scene it's much better shot. The editing. The film. It's consistent. Cinematography overall. Yeah way better production design. The story is still you know. But what would you give this movie now if now that you know that it's going into it? I was thinking okay three out of seven. Now that we got a chance to really look at it I'd probably still give it a two just because I had enough fun with a lot of those video game references. Shot for shot sort of recreations of some scenes from the games and some of the characters showing up. And then some of the sound effects too. There's enough ridiculousness in this movie that you can enjoy it like when she drives a motorcycle through the glass of this church and then it hits a liquor and somehow by hitting a liquor it goes 90 degrees straight up into the air and explodes. So that was probably the crowning moment. That's when you knew this movie was on the rails. It was like yep I know what I'm in for. Anyway guys thank you for watching we'll be doing Resident Evil Extension which I cannot believe I actually think might be the best one of the first three. This is weird this is like a terrible Star Wars. Like all the Star Wars movies were prequels. Oh that's just not right. That's what this is like. So you're saying we're going back to the original three expecting them to be amazing except it turns out they were also prequels. No no no they all just made them like the prequels. Just a lot of walking and talking. And anyway guys that's all from us we'll see you next what time with the Resident Evil Extinction review. So I'll see you guys later. Bye bye.
