3/10
"Marks a departure from the original film in terms of structure, scope, and pacing. Considering that the original was actually watchable, this is not an entirely good thing. "
Freeze Dried Movies

"Witt can’t even match Anderson’s tremendously limited range, and uses “Apocalypse” as his calling card for a future career that should never come to fruition at any costs."
FilmJerk.com
Brian Orndorf
"RE2's best reiteration, Alice's identity crisis, is refitted here to extend the game."
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
1.5/4
"Makes
Tomb Raider
look like an epic."
Movie Boeuf
David N. Butterworth
5/10
"There are times when the film, just like the original, shows that it could be something more"

Dragan Antulov
1/4
"Creatively bankrupt trash made by a committee of hacks who don't know the first thing about generating suspense, frights, or cohesive storytelling."
TheMovieBoy.com
Dustin Putman
C-
"Like a cinematic Twinkie, enjoyably diverting enough to sustain some action film fans until something more fulfilling comes along."
FilmJerk.com
Edward Havens
D
"It is approximately just as loud, gross and stupid as its predecessor was, and you get to see Milla Jovovich's boobs. End of review."

2/4
"[An] elaborate gory gaming gimmick. The feisty energy and revolving recklessness cannot overcome the absurdity and superficial aspect of this unfocused hedonistic horror show"
Movie Eye
Frank Ochieng
F
"One big, stinking bomb...a drearily repetitive collection of tepid battle scenes, thrown together with little skill and less imagination."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
1.5/4
"continues the story with increasingly diminishing results"
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
3/10
"The movie reflects superficial elements of the games without going near the reasons for the games' true appeal."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Jeffrey Chen
"For all its violence and fast cutting and the tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition used, it’s just plain boring."
Pajiba
Jeremy C. Fox
4/10
"...one of the most annoying, redundant and uninteresting movies of the year."
JoBlo's Movie Emporium
JoBlo
"Jovovich acts like she's on auto drive, a far cry from the spirited warrior she played in Resident Evil."
Light Views
John Larsen
3/5
"So, if you’re into horror-action films, this is a good bet. If you’re into cerebral movies about the human condition, you’ll want to find another way to spend a couple hours."
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
C-
"Rarely have so many bad accents been on display, from the wandering German of the evil Major Cain to could-that-be-Russian? of two soon to be chomped soldiers."
FilmStew.com
Larry Carroll
2.5/5
"It's not good, but it's enjoyable on a purely visceral level. It is an improvement over the first film in every possible factor."
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
2/4
"Marginally better than the original, but viewers who are not acquainted with the video game will probably feel unimpressed."
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
C-
"There are a lot of "ewwwwww" moments."
Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
Nell Minow
2.5/4
"Alexander Witt's campy
Resident Evil: Apocalypse
. may be brain dead, but it’s nonetheless also heartily, feverishly alive."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
2/5
"A série
Resident Evil
também se transformou em um morto-vivo. E já está devorando os cérebros de seus espectadores."
Cinema em Cena
Pablo Villaca
3/5
"Dumb, loud, and ludicrous in the extreme, and I actually enjoyed it."
Film Threat
Pete Vonder Haar
5/5
"Lives up (or down) to every possible expectation and is possibly the best trashy movie since...well, since the original 'Resident Evil'."
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
2.5/5
"The best thing is that director Witt actually manages, amid the chaos, to centre on the characters and create people we can cheer for."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
"
Resident Evil: Apocalypse
is utterly shameless whereas its predecessor tried to play things with a straight face... you can practically see the popcorn "butter" running off the screen."
Projection Booth
Rob Humanick
C+
"Less a zombie movie than a big-screen gaming experience."
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker

"... the latest cinematic proposition that apocalyptic disaster doesn't bring out the worst in people, only the stupidest."
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
0.5/4
