The Gist: Alice wakes up in a Raccoon City devastated by the destruction brought about by the T Virus, which transforms all its victims into zombies. The Umbrella Corporation, in an attempt to contain the virus it created within the city borders, prepares a nuclear strike, just as Alice and a few other survivors attempt to escape.
The visual effects are impressive and Milla Jovovich has her character’s strengths and weaknesses down pat, but the final product is saddled by gratuitous occurrences and cardboard characters used simply to fill needed slots.
The mutant monster Nemesis, unlikely as it may sound and look, still actually works in the overall scheme.
The Bottom Line: The follow up to a decent first episode in this now long running series doesn’t hold up to its promise. There’s a lot of action and the fear factor is still there, but implausible storylines and ridiculous scenes make for a poor overall experience.
Grade: 4
