I love apocalyptic movies and I love zombie movies. I wanted to call this Zombilyptic, but I guess they have always been a combined genre any way. Especially those of the great George. This one cemented that in so many stolen ways. T2, Mad Max, Alien 4, Planet of the apes - the list is endless. Better than the second, not as good as the first, just well produced shallow cinema. The kind I adore. I mean it was always gonna be good and then Ali Larter turned up to sweeten the deal.

Resident Evil:Apocalypse - Shoot someone in the head
More chicks with guns. Starts at full speed with quick edits and flashbacks. And the shot of the Black SUVs cruising along was always gonna look great. Alas, it soon descends into kind of a mess. Poorly scripted and acted with some terrible direction of action scenes. Not sure why as the helmer has/had pedigree for this sort of thing. The Bad Taste-esq bad guy would only work in a Peter Jackson ironic way and I didn't spot any. But as I said at the start 'Chicks With Guns', so my shallow needs are met.
