Can anyone explain the primary purpose of movies? Movies are firstly shown to entertain, showcase the talents of an ensemble cast from artistes right down to the lowly grip boy.

A few variations of movies do exists that cater to different tastes, there’s the summer blockbuster that blows the box-office to smithereens, the art house film that attracts the culture vultures and then there’s the piece of crap movie that no one understands and wonders why it was ever made. (sometimes this become big-time hits and attain cult status – which amounts to the most groundbreaking film award)

Now this aside, let’s examine Resident Evil: Apocalypse (RE), a movie I would classify it as a summer blockbuster but with an X factor, an X factor so freaking big, I think the movie has set a certain standard for B-grade zombie flicks.

What I cannot tolerate are buffoons in the media gunning down RE without further knowledge of the game that it was based on (which I’m a big-fan of) nor the fact that this isn’t your average typical zombie fest. Bad acting to inane plots were cited by the media as the cause it, a load of zombie crap I say!

Let’s face it, RE entertained like nobody’s business, from start to end, it was non-stop action, violence, gunfights, deaths, explosions wrapped up in so many shots of lithe female bodies, I was getting a nose bleed.

The cast really shined. Milla Jovovich who played the heroine from the first RE is back with a vengeance, she’s supported by Raccon City’s toughest female cop, the unyielding Jill Valentine and a motley crew of reporters, kiddies and mercenaries.

I could almost swore this became a chick flick mid-way through the opening, the 2 female leads display such utter dominance over their counterparts they make the guys in the show look like pansies. Both Alice and Jill unload so much lead in the show, the two could have started WW3 on their own. They fly, kick, punch, snap zombie heads like twigs, I was basically left in awe.

Everything was just packaged so slickly, it ran like a well oiled machine; its objective to achieve an admirable sequel can be summed up in one word, PERFECTION. What made the first movie such a success is here with a more coherent plot and a whole lot more thrills.

Yes, it’s really that good! Don’t listen to those lame critics, if you want to be entertained, watch this! I was on the edge of my seat for the most part, which says a lot about this movie. I loved the first RE and I love this one even more.
