As the city is locked down under quarantine, Alice joins a small band of elite soldiers, enlisted to rescue the missing daughter of the creator of the mutating T-virus. It's a heart-pounding race against time as the group faces off against hordes of blood- thirsty zombies, stealthy Lickers, mutant canines and the most sinister foe yet.

What are critics saying?

70

The New York Times by Dave Kehr

Mr. Anderson's screenplay provides a steady series of inventive action situations, and the director, Alexander Witt, makes the most of them. His work is fast, funny, smart and highly satisfying in terms of visceral impact.

58

Portland Oregonian by M. E. Russell

The bad news? The movie is monumentally stupid. The good news? It's a fun kind of stupid.

58

Seattle Post-Intelligencer by Sean Axmaker

Best enjoyed by keeping in mind the latest cinematic proposition that apocalyptic disaster doesn't bring out the worst in people, only the stupidest.

50

Los Angeles Times by Kevin Crust

Witt injects the film with plenty of razzle-dazzle on the visual side, but the pace deadens whenever the zombies are offscreen or the characters open their mouths long enough to do anything more than grunt.

50

The Hollywood Reporter by Richard James Havis

It's a frantic piece of filmmaking that invests nothing in the characters and moves much too fast for its own good. But things do pick up a bit for the final third, when a story line finally arrives.

50

New York Post by Lou Lumenick

There is nothing startlingly new in Resident Evil: Apocalpyse, but it is delivered with some panache and humor.

40

TV Guide Magazine by Angel Cohn

Offers up more of everything: more bloody zombie dogs, more crazy corporate evildoers, more Milla Jovovich unclothed and more over-the-top action scenes.

30

Washington Post

Plot and narrative? Minimal. Confrontations? Endless. Surprises? None.

30

Variety by Scott Foundas

Calamitously uninspired and borderline incoherent, new pic lacks even those fleeting pleasures (namely, a sense of humor) that made the first film a passable popcorn attraction.

25

Philadelphia Inquirer by Carrie Rickey

Those who want something more substantial from a movie than a vid-game script with centerfold appeal will not find it in this noisy, bone-crushing survivalist flick inspired by the Game Cube diversion.
