RESIDENT EVIL TRILOGY APPRECIATION THREAD #1
*Banner by me
*Resident Evil is a 2002 British science fiction horror film based on the same titled series of Survival horror games developed by Capcom. Borrowing elements from the Resident Evil 1 and 2 video games, the film follows an amnesiac heroine Alice, and a group of Umbrella Corporation commandos. As they attempt to escape a secret underground facility that at one time was filled with people is now overrun with zombies. The film was directed by Paul W. S. Anderson, and was released in the United States on 15 March 2002, and in Japan on 31 August 2002. The film was commercially successful, grossing $102,441,078 worldwide. Although Resident Evil received some negative reviews, financially it has been successful enough to have two sequels made and the possibility of a fourth installment. Resident Evil was followed by two sequels: Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) and Resident Evil: Extinction (2007). Anderson continued his involvement in the series, writing and producing the sequels, however, leaving directing to Alexander Witt and Russell Mulcahy. It stars Milla Jovovich, Michelle Rodriguez, Eric Mabius, and James Purefoy.

The
Resident Evil films were the first Horror(/Action) films I ever managed to watch, after getting over my fear of zombie movies and I loved them. They're great adventure films, based on an equally awesome
Resident Evil Video Game series by Capcom. I've played all the storyline-driven games (RE1 through RE4), and the sidestory,
Resident Evil Outbreak File #1 and
File #2, and enjoyed them.
While the films differ from them in a major way, they still maintain the Basic storyline of the game. The
Resident Evil Universe allows for a lot of room to play around in, in terms of its story. Thus I can consider the movieverse to be just another storyline, not connected to the games, with its own set of characters and reoccuring ones from the original series. Yeah, they deviate from the major theme of the games, but is that truly a bad thing? These movies need some appreciation. So if you enjoy this movie trilogy, come here and disucss it. If you dont like the them, then
please don't post here.
