Resident Evil: Apocalypse | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Namrata Joshi Outlook It is certainly bad news for cinema when a video game gets turned into a full-length feature film. Rated: 1/4 Jan 8, 2019 Full Review Resident Evil: Apocalypse | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Nell Minow Common Sense Media By-the-numbers gory horror flick -- not for kids. Rated: 2/5 Dec 28, 2010 Full Review Resident Evil: Apocalypse | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Chris Hewitt (UK) Empire Magazine Fans of the games will have fun spotting the Easter eggs on display, but precious little else. Indeed, the chief horror here is the cliffhanger promising a third instalment. Rated: 1/5 Apr 1, 2006 Full Review Resident Evil: Apocalypse | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review [The director] composes the action scenes without a hint of inventiveness, just chaotic editing. Rated: 0.5/4 Mar 8, 2024 Full Review Resident Evil: Apocalypse | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault So the action — what we’re there for — is incomprehensible, and the story — what we’re not there for — even more so. Rated: D Sep 19, 2022 Full Review Resident Evil: Apocalypse | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Grant Watson Fiction Machine It is not that the film is stereotypical, or derivative, or often difficult to swallow. The greatest offence here is that the film is boring. Rated: 3/10 Apr 27, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
