Plot

edit

A team sent by Umbrella to investigate the Hive[a]are overrun by zombies who quickly spread to the nearby Raccoon City. Umbrella reacts by quarantining the city and evacuating vital personnel from it. Angela Ashford, the daughter of Umbrella researcher Dr. Charles Ashford, goes missing after her security car is involved in a collision during the evacuation. Meanwhile, disgraced Raccoon City Police DepartmentSpecial Tactics And Rescue SquadoperativeJill Valentinereturns to her former precinct to encourage her fellow officers to evacuate. Alice awakens in a deserted hospital and wanders the city searching for supplies, while Umbrella uses the only bridge out of the area to evacuate civilians. At the bridge, Valentine meets with her former partner, Sgt. Payton Wells. A civilian turns into a zombie, biting and infecting Wells. In response to the virus reaching the bridge, Major Timothy Cain, leader of the Umbrella forces in Raccoon City, seals the exit and forces the residents to return to the city.

After being abandoned by their employer following a failed attempt to rescue a civilian, Umbrella soldiersCarlos Oliveraand Nicholai Ginovaef team up with the surviving STARS operatives to repel zombie attacks. Their position is overrun, and Olivera is bitten and infected. At a separate location, Valentine, Wells, and news reporter Terri Morales are about to be overrun, though are saved by Alice. Umbrella deploys a heavily mutated experimentalsupersoldier,Nemesis,who kills the remaining STARS members before searching for Alice. Dr. Ashford hacks into the city'sCCTVsystem and uses it to contact Alice and the other survivors, offering to arrange their evacuation from the city in exchange for rescuing his daughter. He makes an identical offer to Olivera and Ginovaef, explaining that Umbrella intends to rid Raccoon City of the zombie infection by destroying it with a nuclear warhead.

On their way to Angela's location, Alice and the others are ambushed by Nemesis. Valentine kills Wells after he turns into a zombie. Alice engages Nemesis but is wounded and forced to retreat, luring Nemesis away from the rest of the group. Valentine and Morales continue, picking up stranded civilian L.J. en route. Valentine meets Olivera, and they find and rescue Angela, although Morales and Ginovaef are both killed. Angela reveals that the zombie outbreak is the result of the T-virus, created by her father to treat a terminal genetic condition she has, and must take an anti-virus serum to prevent turning into a zombie. Alice uses some of the anti-virus to cure Olivera. Dr. Ashford gives Alice the location of an extraction point where a helicopter awaits. The group makes it to the rendezvous point, but are ambushed by Umbrella forces. Major Cain kills Dr. Ashford and forces Alice, whom he reveals was givensuperhumanstrength by the T-virus, to fight Nemesis. Alice gains the upper hand over the supersoldier, though she ceases fighting after realizing that he is Matt Addison, mutated by Umbrella's experiments.

Nemesis turns on Major Cain and attacks the Umbrella troops, but is killed protecting Alice. The rest of the survivors seize the helicopter; they eject Major Cain from it and he is killed by the zombies, including a zombified Dr. Ashford. As the survivors escape, a nuclear warhead detonates over the city, and the resulting blast wave causes the helicopter to crash. Alice sacrifices herself to save Angela and is impaled on a metal pole. T.V. footage attributes the blast to ameltdownof the city's nuclear power plant, covering up Umbrella's involvement.

Alice wakes up in an Umbrella research facility and escapes with help from Olivera, Valentine, L.J., and Angela, also displayingpsionicabilities bytelekineticallykilling a security guard. As they are escaping, Dr. Alexander Isaacs, a top-ranking Umbrella employee, reveals that Alice's escape is part of Umbrella's plan for her.

Themes

edit

Media studies scholar Stephen Harper said that bothApocalypseand the firstResident Evilfilm present "highly ambiguous" perspectives on the themes of corporate power, race, gender and sexuality. Describing them both aspostmodernandpostfeministtexts, Harper argued that, despite containing some progressive elements including feminist themes that undermine patriarchal power, the films also played into several stereotypes. He said the relationship between Alice and Valentine differs from interactions between male characters in action films as seen by a lack of camaraderie and co-operation between the two and, unlike male characters inApocalypse,both Valentine and Alice are separately shown being "protective and nurturing" of the young Angela; Harper stated even violent action heroines are often portrayed with such characteristics. Harper also criticized how their revealing clothing and camera angles objectified Alice and Valentine throughout the film, and noted that through theAfrican-Americancharacter L.J.Apocalypseshowed an "ironic awareness" of racist stereotypes, though "it stops short of challenging them and, indeed, often deploys them".[11]

Douglas Kellnerfrom theUniversity of California in Los Angelesargued the film's ending played "on fears of out of control nuclear technology and government cover-ups". A news segment shown in the film, which claimed that reports of corporate wrongdoing were false and that people should instead be thanking the Umbrella Corporation, was "a barely disguised allegory of lying by corporations and the state during theBush-Cheneyera ".[12]

Production

edit

Pre-production

edit
Paul W. S. Andersonturned down directing the film though stayed on as both producer and screenwriter.

While promoting the firstResident Evilfilm in late February 2002,Milla Jovovichand directorPaul W. S. Andersondiscussed a potential sequel. Anderson said he began writing the screenplay for the second film after completing the first, and had plans for Alice to meet up with Jill Valentine. Jovovich confirmed her character would return in the sequel if the first film was successful.[13]In early March,Eric Mabius,who played Matt Addison in the first film, stated a sequel was confirmed, would be set in Raccoon City, and would feature the Nemesis character.[14]The sequel was officiallygreenlitbySony Picturesin mid-2002 but Anderson chose not to direct due to his commitments toAlien vs. Predator(2004). He stayed on as the film'sscreenwriterand as one of itsproducers.[15]Anderson used the gameResident Evil 3: Nemesisas the basis of the story and wrote in elements from his favorite films, such as the perimeter wall inEscape from New Yorkand the deserted city inThe Omega Man.[15]Alexander Wittwas hired to direct the film, marking his feature film directorial debut. The script had already been completed when Witt was hired. He made some suggestions to Anderson and fellow producerJeremy Bolt,which resulted in some minor script changes.[16]

Casting

edit

Jovovich was the only person to reprise a role from the first film. Mabius initially told reporters he would be reprising his role as Matt Addison in the form of portraying Nemesis,[14]but the part ended up going to Matthew G. Taylor. Mabius still appears via stock footage from the previous film used in aflashbackscene.[17]The original film did not feature any characters from the games, but it had always been the intention to add several toApocalypse.[18]Reports of actresses who were approached for the roles of Valentine andClaire Redfield,the latter of whom did not end up featuring in the film, were made prior to production,[19][20][21]though Anderson later dispelled these as baseless rumours.[22]The role of Valentine went toSienna Guillorywho prepared for the role by studying Valentine's movements and posture in the games.[23][24]The role of L.J. was written specifically forSnoop Dogg,though he dropped out of production and was replaced byMike Epps;the character was rewritten to suit Epps's personality.[15]EvanescenceguitaristBen Moodywas given a cameo as a zombie Ginovaef kills.[23]

Filming

edit
Sienna Guillory's costume in the film (right)was based on Valentine's outfit inResident Evil 3: Nemesis(1999)

The film was shot inOntario,Canada;Torontoand its surrounding suburbs stood in for Raccoon City.[25]Cinematography was performed byChristian Sebaldtand Derek Rogers,[8]and filming took place at 47 locations.[18]Very fewsetswere made for the film.[15]Several city blocks were closed down and thePrince Edward Viaductbridge was closed for three days so scenes could be filmed on it. Scenes were shot outsideToronto City Hallfor two weeks.[26]Jovovich and Matthew Taylor spent several hours a day for six weeks practicing martial arts together for the fight scene between Alice and Nemesis.[27]The fight was originally scripted to appear in a train station and focus heavily on interaction with props, though was eventually shot in an open space outside Toronto City Hall after Witt decided to give the fight less screen time.[15]Actors portraying zombies spent four days training withchoreographersat a zombie "boot camp" to make sure they all had consistent behavior and movements.[28]Anderson and other crew members considered making the zombies move faster but decided that it would be breaking a fundamental element of the games.[15]Anderson only appeared on set for a couple of days due to other commitments, though he communicated with Witt via email about several dialogue and production changes during filming.[16]The script's original ending had Alice escaping from Umbrella on her own via greater use of hertelekineticpowers before meeting up with Valentine. Half of the scene was filmed before the ending was rewritten.[15]

The originalResident Evilfilm took only broad elements from the games;Apocalypseincorporated many specific features from them, such as the re-enactment of scenes.[18]The introductorycutsceneofResident Evil – Code: Veronicafeaturing Claire Redfield inspired the scene where Alice runs through a building while an Umbrella helicopter fires.[26]The introduction ofResident Evil 3: Nemesisinspired another scene where Raccoon City is overrun by zombies, and the police and Umbrella soldiers are fighting back.[15]Valentine's outfit in the film, which consisted of atube topand miniskirt, is based on her costume fromNemesis.[11]Anderson considered several ways to justify having the revealing costume in the storyline, such as making it herundercoveroutfit, though eventually decided to ignore the issue on the grounds that anyone questioning her attire "probably shouldn't be watching aResident Evilmovie ".[15]The film also references several aspects from theoriginal gameandResident Evil 2,such as locations, place names, character moves, props, and camera perspectives.[15]

Effects

edit

Special effects for the film includedgreen screens,computer-generated imagery(CGI),mattepaintings,tracking,wire removalandscale models.[29]The Nemesis character was created with a costume, and the only CGI effect added was an adjustment to his eye.[29]Taylor was chosen as his height at 6.7 feet (2.04 m) and weight of 320 lb (145 kg) made him suitable to portray the character. The costume was specifically built for his body and weighed about 65 lb (29 kg).[27]Despite the character's height,aspect ratioswere still modified to make him appear 10–20% larger in certain scenes.[15]The Lickers, a type of mutated zombie, were completely CGI. The effects team had originally usedanimatronicsfor some of the scenes, but were unhappy with the results.[29]C.O.R.E. Digital Pictureswon the contract to animate the Lickers, beating several other effects companies who had submitted preliminary designs, and described it as the most challenging special effect they created for the film. The studio created over 250 special effects including superimposing Jovovich's face onto a stunt double;[30]Jovovich performed most of her own stunts though her insurance company would not allow her to attempt several of the more dangerous ones.[23]Frantic Filmscreated 78 special effects for the film includingtracer fire,muzzle flashes,lasers and slow motion, using effects programsEyeon Fusion,Autodesk 3ds Maxas well as in-house software.[30]Mr. X Inc. created additional effects including the scene showing the destruction of the Toronto City Hall building. Four months were spent making a 43 ft (13 m) 1/6 scale model of the building with 1,600 panes of glass, each of which was wired with an explosive to create the final effect.[29]Digital intermediatework was completed by theComputer Film Company.Colors in the film were edited heavily in post-production, giving it a darker look overall while enhancing the brightness of blood and gore. The colors of the Nemesis costume were also tweaked to make it look more lifelike and Alice and Valentine were given modifications such as increasing the glow of their skin and redness of their lips.[15]

Soundtrack

edit

The soundtrack forApocalypsewas released on August 31, 2004, and containedalternative metalsongs both featured in the film and "inspired" by it. Johnny Loftus ofAllMusicgave the soundtrack three stars out of five, saying it was an "unscrupulous moneymaker" that predictably catered to the film's target audience of teenage boys, adding the "aggression, mania, and generally apocalyptic tone of this material fits well with a movie based on a video game about blowing away crazy zombies".[31]

Jeff Dannacomposed thefilm's scoreperformed by theLondon Philharmonia Orchestra.It was released on September 28, 2004.[32]Mike Brennan from Soundtrack.net gave the score 2½ stars out of five, praising the blend of orchestral and electronic styles, though saying it "could have easily benefited from some more thematic development and a bit more variation in the sound of the music".[33]

Release

edit

Marketing and box office

edit

Marcus Nispelwas hired to create ateaser trailer,titledRegenerate.It purports to be advertising a skin rejuvenation product created by the Umbrella Corporation, before the woman in the commercial turns into a zombie. By May 2004, the teaser had been downloaded 8.5million times from the film's official website.[34]Part of the teaser was shown in the film briefly on a television in the background and a part of it also appears in amid-credits scene.[15]The film'stheatrical trailerwas released onYahoo! Moviesin July 2004.[35]A novelization of the film written byKeith DeCandidowas published bySimon & Schusterthe following month.[36]Screen Gemscreated a faux newspaper,The Raccoon City Times,to promote the film.[37]

Apocalypseopened at number one in the United States on September 10, 2004, where it grossed over$23million on its opening weekend.[9]The film also opened at number one in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines and Mexico, and performed well in Japan, France and Brazil, though the horror filmSawovershadowed it at the box office in the United Kingdom, and it received a lackluster reception in Sweden,[38][39]where it grossed $473,550.[40]Earning over$6million in Canada,Resident Evil: Apocalypsewas the highest grossing, domestically produced Canadian film in 2004.[41]Apocalypsewent on to earn $129,394,835 worldwide against a budget of $45million,[9]surpassing the earnings of the first film which generated $102,984,862.[42]

Critical response

edit

On review aggregatorRotten Tomatoes,19% of 133 critic reviews are positive, which makes this film the lowest-rated entry in the series.[43]The site's critics consensus reads: "Resident Evil: Apocalypsehas lots of action, but not much in terms of plot or creativity. "[44]According toMetacritic,which sampled 26 reviews and calculated a score of 36 out of 100 based on 26 reviews, the film received "generally unfavorable reviews".[45]Audiences surveyed byCinemaScoregave the film a grade B on a scale of A to F.[46]

Leonard Maltinrated the film a "bomb" in his bookLeonard Maltin's Movie Guideand called it a "tiresome" sequel that ended up playing more like aremake.[47]Roger Ebertgave the film a score of half a star out of four, calling it "an utterly meaningless waste of time" that lacked any wit or imagination and also failed to provide entertaining violence or special effects. He subsequently named the film the eighth worst film of 2004.[48][49]Carrie Rickey ofThe Philadelphia Inquirergave the film one star out of four, concluding that even for people interested in thebiological horrorgenre,Apocalypsewas "pretty generic stuff".[50]

Dave KehrofThe New York Timesgave the film a positive review, praising Anderson's screenplay and describing Witt's direction as "fast, funny, smart and highly satisfying in terms of visceral impact".[25]M. E. Russell ofThe Oregoniansaid, "The bad news? The movie is monumentally stupid. The good news? It's a fun kind of stupid".[51]The A.V. Club's Nathan Rabin said that it progressed too slowly to be considered a good film, "but when Jovovich finally starts kicking zombified ass, it becomes good enough".[52]Ben Kenigsberg ofThe Village Voicesaid the film is "not without its moments of elemental dread" though he complained there was too much action andpaddingand not enough irony.[53]

Gregory Kirschling ofEntertainment Weekly,who gave the film a 'D−' rating, praised Jovovich but felt that "the rest of the cast was strictlystraight-to-DVD";[54]Cinefantastique,on the other hand, commented that Jovovich looked bored and that Guillory's portrayal of Jill Valentine was the film's "saving grace".[55]

Legacy

edit

In 2009,Timeranked the film as one of the top ten worstvideo game films.While criticizing all three films released in theResident Evilseries at the time, they concluded thatApocalypsedeserved their vote "Because, like any sequel, it’s an enabler... sequels to bad movies just enable further sequels to be considered".[56]In 2016, separate journalists fromBloody Disgustingranked it as both the best and worst film in the series.[57][58]In 2017, Michael Nordine ofTheWrapranked it as the worst film in the series, saying its only redeeming features were the fact it expanded the series and the "awesomely stupid" fight between Alice and Nemesis.[59]
