10:38 Yeah, no. I used to work at a cemetery, which is how I came to the conclusion that a cemetery is probably one of the safest places to be during a zombie apocalypse. Not kidding. Bodies that have a traditional burial (vs cremation) are pumped full of preservatives, put into caskets that at the very least are closed up tight, and then put 6 feet into the ground, within a cement vault which prevents the ground from sinking as the body and casket decompose. (Even a metal casket can eventually oxidise.) Even if the family doesn't want a full box vault, most cemeteries will insist on a grave liner that will also prevent ground sinking. So even if a dead body buried in a cemetery reanimates, it's got to figure out a way to get out of a coffin, up through several feet of heavy dirt, and then get through a cement liner. And oh by the way, it's likely got caps between its eyeballs and eyelids, and its mouth has been stitched or pinned closed, so it can't see or bite.
I’m glad that someone with experience in this work has busted this trope. I’ve always wondered about that for years and that you’ve described how bodies are actually buried just proves how much more ridiculous that zombie cliche is.
While all true, I still wouldn't go to a cemetery during a zombie outbreak. Not because of all the dead bodies there, but because of how open it is. When outnumbered it's a horrible idea to be out in the open
This movie is guilty pleasure of mine. Just because the city is suppose to Raccoon city (aka a generic American city.) But all through the movie you see Canadian landmarks and companies. 4:30 you see CIBC and Scotiabank two Canadian Banks. You also see the CN tower in shots and Toronto's city hall.
I get a kick out of how they show it at Detroit's position on the map in 2 of the movies, and call it Detroit in another movie, but then it has mountains around it in the last movie. (no mountains in sight of Detroit)
Theorys range from she was on a date just before everything happens in RE3 to she was doing some undercover work. I like to think that as I did she girls wearing similar outfits back in the 90s in Highschool that Jill dressed this way as part of the fashion of the time. I remember people wearing much more skimpy outfits back then too.
Man, I don't know why i recently found your channel but you are one of my favorite movie reviewers. You can tell you do your research with every review and the effort shows!!!!! I hope more and more horror/movie fans find your channel and adore it as much as the rest of us!
Jill Valentine turned into a completely cold-hearted sociapath for this movie. She is responsible first for the death of Terri Morales, who never should have been alone in a zombie apocalypse, the woman had no experience in survival. Second Nicholai Ginovaeff could have used a minute or two of back-up from Jill, despite his bravado, he clearly was an asset that should not have gone out like that. It was just stupid. I think it was just to diminish Jill in comparison to their Mary Sue Alice. Is it just me, or was this Hollywood's way of saying "we know you love these characters, but shut up stupid plebs, we do what we want."?
Going by files from the game, to make a Nemesis Type bio weapon you need someone who can be used to produce a Tyrant (last boss of the first game, and many others, only some kinds of people can turn into one) and infect the poor sap with a parasitic worm infected with the virus, if the process doesn't kill the mook, the parasite will enter a symbiotic relationship with said mook and they will turn into Nemesis, a single scratch doesn't make you Nemesis, Matt would probably turn into a zombie, or in the worst case, a Tyrant, and, unlike with the dead bodies, he wouldn't be reanimated, he would go insane and his body would degenerate before his eyes, wich is nightmare fuel in of itself, Albert Wesker files detail that Nemesis was one of the Umbrella's subjects for their weapon projects, and only one of them was produced because the process was costly and dangerous and unlike Tyrants, Nemesis can't be mass produced.
The worst one in the series imo. The reason the main characters go to such lengths to save Ashfords daughter but mostly ignore other survivors is because she is her ticket out of town. Not very heroic but a reason none the less. Great review.
Yea but they did that because it was gonna get nuked. And alice being familiair woith umbrella corp's tactics knew she could not do anything except escape.
Wasn't even Alfred Ashford just a character with the same last name. This " movie" angers me as they kinda use beats of RE3:Nemesis but turned it into a Mary Sue fan fiction and make Jill look useless. All my hopes for a proper RE3 movie have died as even if they reboot the RE movies with how Hollywood is so sex negative now we probably won't see Jill in the classic outfit more likely the remake of RE3's Jill outfit. Also it would be hard to explain why Nemesis doesn't have the mini gun they added to this movie to anyone how doesn't know much about RE3:Nemesis.
I’ll agree they could’ve done better, but this is in no way the worst in the series, certainly not with Alice becoming Mary Sue-Supercharged after they reveal the clone saga.....
There's actually a manga explaining Nemesis' backstory, he was a boxer who was kidnapped and mutated for you know why. One thing thats kinda cool is Nemesis fights William Birkin from Resident Evil 2 which actually is possible considering the timeline.
My favorite scene is when a woman in plain clothes marches into a crowded police station and opens fire with a firearm, and none of the officers react. People have told me it's okay because they would have recognized Jill, but... nah. It's frankly absurd that anyone, even an officer (and especially one who was currently off the force due to suspicious allegations), could simply start shooting people without an immediate response. In a rational film those cops would all have drawn their weapons and started screaming at her to drop her gun. That is, if they didn't immediately kill her.
the next few will be four different movies requested by a patreon donator, and if every goes well the first one will be released next next saturday, but I would prefer they remain secret hopefully keep the surprise
I liked Apocalypse because its the closest related to an actual Resident Evil Game(RE3), but yeah, Alice was the worst part, being a Mary Sue Fanfic character. She wasnt so bad in the first movie, and she got so much worse in subsequent movies.
These “Resident Evil” movies are about as divorced from the source material as the Scott Ciencin Silent Hill comics: even if you’ve never played the games, you can still tell they got nearly everything wrong and just cram in superficial references to the games to compensate-and if you DID play the games, it pisses you off even more.
Sounds suspiciously like what Capcom pulled with the later Devil May Cry games. They gave the players garbage that crapped on the established characters and expected them to just roll with it because it looked cool. Makes me sick that Dante went Hellblazer tier bad ass to a braindead retard and no ones said anything about it
Deusdaecon Reviews I mean I keep busy I have other hobbies you know? I recently picked up the flute then immediately droped it after resizing it sucked.
And they can't have detectors without opening the door. "Lickers" I thought you said time for liquor. It's the power of knowledge and money. Her dad is the chief.
On the graveyard zombies thing, a quick google shows that the body begins to liquify after 1 month, so "months to dissipate" would suggest somehow, while in a liquid state, the brain holds a charge... . I mean who knows maybe it could as a liquid can hold a charge I guess, but I feel like a liquid zombie wouldn't do you much good, so you'd want to get them up and running before then.
yes indeed but also the whole "brain holds a charge, hair and fingernails continue to grow" thing is a complete myth anyway, death means all metabolic processes have ceased
11:20 Actually, bodies that have been buried would have undergone an autopsy, so they literally wouldn't even have a brain for the T-Virus to reanimate.
Also probably another reference to the game. Both resident evil 3 and code veronica have a grave yard level. Zombies also crawl their way out of the graves.
The more worrying thing is the lack of decomposition on most of them shows that this town had a huge disaster BEFORE this happened as it seems lots of those people were buried quite recently.
Okay, if no one else is going to make the tasteless joke I guess I need to step up to the plate. "Gee, Trump should have hired Umbrella to build his wall." Great, now I feel dirty.
Just realised- at the start, when they show the city being walled off its a landlocked and surrounded on all sides by walls. 3:45 Yet, when the bomb drop, the city is standing next to a giant lake or the sea with no walls in sight... they could have just sailed out... (23:17)
Deusdaecon Reviews um okay, even though I'm dead serious I enjoyed the films growing up I really enjoyed the last one 3-4 were bad and I'm curious how this is gonna end I hope it goes out with a bang
This movie series is like a group of kids RPing resident evil, and you have that one kid who for no reason is on god mode, and can't be touched. Alice is obviously that kid.
So... we see Umbrellas master plan for an outbreak to completion at the start Step 1. Send in team who knows nothing about anything for no real reason as they would never have been allowed out alive anyway. Step 2. System locks up base trapping any who survived inside (though this bit goes wrong as some people actually get out, obviously not intended from how the whole place was designed Step 3. Now all the soldiers you sent in have died send unarmed scientists to reopen the sealed lab to get eaten Step 4. ??? Step 5. No not profit... more ??? as who the hell knows if they had a plan after get everybody they hired killed for no reason.
since im playing through the re 2 remake the church scene makes me weep because of how much missed potential for a tense scene there was, lickers are meant to be fucking blind so they could easily figure this out with one attacking someone and when they try to sneak past it another one literally walks right past them and they have to sneak out of the church with even the slightest noise making them come closer to them, youd think the lack of eyes would have clued these people in that they shouldnt have monster vision
Im pretty sure something was explained in the movie suggesting the t virus was on "ground level" which literally doesn't make sense but the movies exuse to reanimate anyone who died and fir umbrella nuking the city.
5:43 Actually, from what I heard in a commentary on this movie, the filmmakers wanted the zombies to move quicker, so they edited the scene with that weird blur effect. Which kinda gets a mixed reaction from me: on one hand, the zombies do look like they're moving quicker so there's less time spent on them just walking, but on the other hand, none of the other movies use this effect again and it just looks really tacky, like something you'd see in a generic zombie movie.
the video is currently copyright flagged and i will be getting a copyright strike because of it but i will be fighting it and the video will be available again in about 2 and a half weeks sorry for the inconvenience.
I'm not sure if you'll ever see this but would you consider reviewing "The Stepfather" movie series please? The first 3 movies and the remake, would really love your take on them.
I noticed that too..they should have just put Chris and Jill in the first movie instead of the completely made up Alice character.she has no place in this film because she was not in the first so how?? Does she know about the zombies and how too kill them????plus they made her look more of a stereotyped cliche bad girl with a honest heart.Jill in the games was smart and strong but was also level headed and always looked like a professional.here she was just cocky eye candy in a short dress.
Well about that wall. Could it be that Umbrella build that wall at the same time as the city?. After all they do have secret lab underneath the city,so that wall could be just another faill-safe. I guess it could be placed underground and then when outbreak started , the wall could be just raised up.
well when they show the computer generated video of the wall being built its shown as being placed as individual panels, i mean the underground theory is a good one but if that were the case they would have shown it emerging from the ground, but they didn't.
where did the idea for Alice's psychic powers even come from. to my knowledge no virus in any resident evil game ever granted psychic powers. even Wesker only ever got superhuman strength, speed, reflexes and healing.
Fun Fact: The Zombie at the wall causing panic in the beginning is played by German comedian/actor Tom Gerhardt, famous before anything else for his portrayal of drunk and/or conservative German stereotypes - as can be seen here th-cam.com/video/7hQrwlb0kwk/w-d-xo.html
Did you know you review of the first movie in this series is blocked in my country 'the USA' don't know why as it is the only of your videos that is but wanted to tell you
yeah i know, its currently copyright flagged i will be getting a copyright strike because of it, but I'm gonna dispute that and it'll be available agin in two weeks, sorry for the inconvenience.
i remember Nemesis as the most scary thing in RE 3, but in this one, hes had a puppy eyes.... not to mention 21:40 only idiot people, standing in the direction of fire
10:39 - 11:44 Well, how else could they rip off Return of the Living Dead? All they need is for one of those decomposing skeletons to scream- 👨🎤🎵DO YOU WANNA PARTY?!🎵
wait so when the scientists daughter gets taken from school in the morning and is in a car crash the film then jumps 13 hours later and it's still light.... it would have to at least be midnight..... shoddy shoddy anderson
IMO, RE: Apocalypse is the BEST Live-Action Resident Evil Movie Ever Made, and lemme just clarify it's NOT a Masterpiece and FAR from amazing, it's flawed for sure but it's the most rewatchable for me and accurate to the games, it's a B movie.
I know this is off topic but I always assumed the zombie plague in Romero's original trilogy was airborn considering how some came back without being bitten. Also if that's the case, couldn't be true that the bite is not the cause of zombification but rather you are simply dying bacteria inside the mouth entering you bloodstream?
In the "of the dead" films if you die you come back as a zombie, bites just speed up the process, although that doesn't apply to day of the dead because people die and don't come back as zombies, because they wanted to get across to the audience that whatever caused the outbreak is no longer happening.
Great review, man. This movie really makes my blood boil. I often laugh at bad movies but this one really pissed me. What a way to ruin Jill Valentine(One of my favourite characters from the game series), and Alice overshadowing established game characters especially Jill in every turn and being all superhero was infuriating, lame portrayal of Nemesis(How did you fuck up such badass monster from RE3?!), characters making stupid decisions because Alice is only allowed to be competent, story makes no sense(So Umbrella wanted to test fight between Nemesis and Alice during zombie apocalypse?!!) This might be my least favourite of RE live action films.
As fan of the game series i have quite disdain for these movies(first one was at least watchable because it was its own story) I get the feeling Anderson's response to the fans are like this "Excited to see your favourite characters from the games in this movie? Well fuck them, they don't matter. My wife is the only thing that matters and you should love her too" Anyway, i love your videos and they are really entertaining to watch. Keep it up! 😀☺👏 Are you going to review Resident Evil: The Final Chapter someday?
@@deusdeaconReviews thanks so much mate. Love your videos. Haven't watched the gingers snaps videos yet, because the first at least is on my list to watch. Only for into horror a few years ago, and reviewers like you are part of the reason its now my favourite genre. So basically, I want to say thanks for your part in turning me on to horror. Most recently you convinced me to check out colour out of space and the void. So thanks for those
You know what watching this review I just realized something that this movie series she needs to be trying to make a distaff version of Albert Wesker as a hero and follow along so why did they have Wesker in the first movie?
watching through these again it really doesn't help making a film about a game, then making an entirely new character that cleans up after the not as competent characters from the games. I mean Jill isn't entirely incompetent at least, but they clearly made her the second fiddle to random unknown hot wife of director.
Lets be honest if nothing else these film firmly establish that umbrella, don't do silly things like logic and making sense, "make more killer viruses, make less sense" is their motto.
Im not really fond of «alternate universe» but, i do find this movie decent since Jill had more screentime on this compared to the rest of the game cast later on in the movie...
@@deusdeaconReviews yeah .. kinda do feel like they under utilized the actress portraying Jill (and defenitive Claire, Leon and the rest later on). Marry Sue concept is only good in anime tho;(
Of course it is, they really love to mess with reviewers and critics. Hell I think LoreReloaded gets in trouble every time he says the words "Star Trek" lole.
See, I can defend the first movie because it didn't really step on to many toes of the games. But here, when they start bringing in characters like Jill, I lose the ability to defend. So first movie is a passable bit of nonsense I can find fun, but after that I can barely finish the fucking things.
I know this is late but you should check out the residents evil (biohazard) comic that explained nemesis back story I know it not canon but it still better than that back story
Here is something that confused me that you some what touched on. If the child needs regular doses of the anti-virus wouldn't Carlos also need them too? how is his infection different then hers also so how are they alive by the end where are they getting their doses?
as i understand it, regular bite infection is not extensive so only needs a single does to cure, With the girl the virus is whats keeping her alive so she needs dose of the anti-virus to keep her from going many tentacled monstrosity on everyone, but yes you are right about how she's still functioning without the antivirus at the end though, unless they have the stuff stockpiled somewhere.
You know I originally could tolerate some of these movies, even if the continued and increased focus on Alice, who is clearly only in the movie so the director has something to jerk off to, but the more i learn about the Resident Evil Franchise, it's lore, character and all the story potential, really just serves to make me hate these movies even more. They had all the content needed to make a decent number of films, just follow the games more or less and you've got a movie or several. But nope, let's just take the most basic, bare bones elements from the first three games, cram the director's OC character in there, have her do all the cool shit and just continue to make the movies more and more ludicrious as things go on while ignoring basically everything from the previous film.
10:38 Yeah, no. I used to work at a cemetery, which is how I came to the conclusion that a cemetery is probably one of the safest places to be during a zombie apocalypse. Not kidding. Bodies that have a traditional burial (vs cremation) are pumped full of preservatives, put into caskets that at the very least are closed up tight, and then put 6 feet into the ground, within a cement vault which prevents the ground from sinking as the body and casket decompose. (Even a metal casket can eventually oxidise.) Even if the family doesn't want a full box vault, most cemeteries will insist on a grave liner that will also prevent ground sinking.

I’m glad that someone with experience in this work has busted this trope. I’ve always wondered about that for years and that you’ve described how bodies are actually buried just proves how much more ridiculous that zombie cliche is.
@Oswald Degrelle Technically, yes. Green burials are a thing but not all cemeteries allow them.
While all true, I still wouldn't go to a cemetery during a zombie outbreak. Not because of all the dead bodies there, but because of how open it is. When outnumbered it's a horrible idea to be out in the open
That is one mind blowing facts for me.

Well said my friend.
This movie is guilty pleasure of mine. Just because the city is suppose to Raccoon city (aka a generic American city.) But all through the movie you see Canadian landmarks and companies. 4:30 you see CIBC and Scotiabank two Canadian Banks. You also see the CN tower in shots and Toronto's city hall.
I get a kick out of how they show it at Detroit's position on the map in 2 of the movies, and call it Detroit in another movie, but then it has mountains around it in the last movie. (no mountains in sight of Detroit)
As for Jill's outfit I always just assumed zombies broke into her appartment forcing her to escape with what she already had on.
Theorys range from she was on a date just before everything happens in RE3 to she was doing some undercover work. I like to think that as I did she girls wearing similar outfits back in the 90s in Highschool that Jill dressed this way as part of the fashion of the time.

Nickolai deserve to die Michael is the good soldier in the games
Sienna Guillroy is hot!
Even though this movie (the film series in general) is awful, Sienna Guillroy was a fantastic choice to play Jill.
To bad she was upstaged by Alice
Going by files from the game, to make a Nemesis Type bio weapon you need someone who can be used to produce a Tyrant (last boss of the first game, and many others, only some kinds of people can turn into one) and infect the poor sap with a parasitic worm infected with the virus, if the process doesn't kill the mook, the parasite will enter a symbiotic relationship with said mook and they will turn into Nemesis, a single scratch doesn't make you Nemesis, Matt would probably turn into a zombie, or in the worst case, a Tyrant, and, unlike with the dead bodies, he wouldn't be reanimated, he would go insane and his body would degenerate before his eyes, wich is nightmare fuel in of itself, Albert Wesker files detail that Nemesis was one of the Umbrella's subjects for their weapon projects, and only one of them was produced because the process was costly and dangerous and unlike Tyrants, Nemesis can't be mass produced.
Great info I must admit i didn't know that about nemesis, and lets be honest neither did the filmmakers.
get some plants they will fight the zombies
I love Zach Ward being in this!
Also, being someone who never played the games, this series is fun to watch as a no-brainer action/horror movie.
The worst one in the series imo.
The reason the main characters go to such lengths to save Ashfords daughter but mostly ignore other survivors is because she is her ticket out of town. Not very heroic but a reason none the less.
Great review.
The use of Ashford name make me angry..the original ashford story was so interesting...this movies just took the name and give it to a random guy.
Yea but they did that because it was gonna get nuked. And alice being familiair woith umbrella corp's tactics knew she could not do anything except escape.
Cross dressing, schizophrenic, twincesty arian sniper = Good guy in a wheelchair
Wasn't even Alfred Ashford just a character with the same last name. This " movie" angers me as they kinda use beats of RE3:Nemesis but turned it into a Mary Sue fan fiction and make Jill look useless. All my hopes for a proper RE3 movie have died as even if they reboot the RE movies with how Hollywood is so sex negative now we probably won't see Jill in the classic outfit more likely the remake of RE3's Jill outfit.

I’ll agree they could’ve done better, but this is in no way the worst in the series, certainly not with Alice becoming Mary Sue-Supercharged after they reveal the clone saga.....
I titled my Amazon Review of RE: Extinction "Mad Mila: Beyond Zombie Dome". The parallels were so obvious.
I dont know why but I've always enjoyed this one. It's very rewatchable.
you deserve more views and subs!
+cookeris Thank you, I really appreciate you saying that.
you're welcome, get stronger :D Also watch Phelous's resident evil movie reviews, he's also good. But i think you saw them.
No, he really doesn't. Too fucking british tbh.
There's actually a manga explaining Nemesis' backstory, he was a boxer who was kidnapped and mutated for you know why. One thing thats kinda cool is Nemesis fights William Birkin from Resident Evil 2 which actually is possible considering the timeline.
Now alice IS a mary sue charicter. She can do just about anything, is the ONLY person to sucsesfuly bond with the T virus, and so forth.
Not to mention the cigarette scene where Jill tried to set of the gas with a match only for it to go out so Alice can light it with a cigarette
My favorite scene is when a woman in plain clothes marches into a crowded police station and opens fire with a firearm, and none of the officers react.

it's almost like the people made these movies... to stroke milla jovovich's ego >.>
Think I've watched every review you have done now. Not in order of release. Great job, love how honest you are. Keep up the good work
Thank you very much that means a lot.
I love all your reviews!
Poor Nemesis...When I was young playing RE3 I always knew he was nice guy within...he just had some bad luck... ahahahah what a shitty movie...
There is chinese comic book of Nemesis's back story. Search online if you want to read it.
And they can't have detectors without opening the door. "Lickers" I thought you said time for liquor. It's the power of knowledge and money. Her dad is the chief.
I love your sarcastic tone you deserve millions of views
Great job, i love your reviews i haven't laughed so hard since I actually see this film brilliant job.

11:20 Actually, bodies that have been buried would have undergone an autopsy, so they literally wouldn't even have a brain for the T-Virus to reanimate.
Well not all bodies get autopsied but still good point.
As well as being six feet under ground in a vault and dirt. Not always a vault but definitely dirt. And that shit is heavy
Also probably another reference to the game. Both resident evil 3 and code veronica have a grave yard level. Zombies also crawl their way out of the graves.
The more worrying thing is the lack of decomposition on most of them shows that this town had a huge disaster BEFORE this happened as it seems lots of those people were buried quite recently.
Okay, if no one else is going to make the tasteless joke I guess I need to step up to the plate. "Gee, Trump should have hired Umbrella to build his wall." Great, now I feel dirty.

We thank you for your sacrifice.
My favorite criticism channel
Just realised- at the start, when they show the city being walled off its a landlocked and surrounded on all sides by walls. 3:45
Yet, when the bomb drop, the city is standing next to a giant lake or the sea with no walls in sight... they could have just sailed out... (23:17)
4:53 he was? That’s awesome
Oh, boy, can't wait to see what they do with Chris and Claire *sees fourth movie* you unholy bastards!
Still love these films with a passion, and I'm sad to see them go this January
Don't worry its Stockholm syndrome, You'll be fine.
Deusdaecon Reviews um okay, even though I'm dead serious I enjoyed the films growing up I really enjoyed the last one 3-4 were bad and I'm curious how this is gonna end I hope it goes out with a bang
well if you liked the first one and extinction, they seems to be just nicking shit from those film so i think you'll be fine.
Deusdaecon Reviews no I was bored with the first film 2 and 5 are my fave
haha... especially the 4 and 5 are not even movies...its just stiched action scenes together trying desperately to make sense
This movie series is like a group of kids RPing resident evil, and you have that one kid who for no reason is on god mode, and can't be touched.
Alice is obviously that kid.
I'm gonna say it, Operation Raccoon City WAS BETTER THAN THESE MOVIES
ORC went hard. Gotta play it again one day.
Too bad Umbrella killed Professor Legasov. He could have helped mitigate the effects of this "Chernobyl level event."
You got to like that Umbrella in under 12 hours build a six foot fall around a medium size town or city and none bats an eyelid.
So... we see Umbrellas master plan for an outbreak to completion at the start
Step 1. Send in team who knows nothing about anything for no real reason as they would never have been allowed out alive anyway.
Step 2. System locks up base trapping any who survived inside (though this bit goes wrong as some people actually get out, obviously not intended from how the whole place was designed
Step 3. Now all the soldiers you sent in have died send unarmed scientists to reopen the sealed lab to get eaten
Step 4. ???
Step 5. No not profit... more ??? as who the hell knows if they had a plan after get everybody they hired killed for no reason.
how would they explain the wall around the city ?
RE movies have as much in common with the source material as 30 Days of Night Dark Days has with the original novel
since im playing through the re 2 remake the church scene makes me weep because of how much missed potential for a tense scene there was, lickers are meant to be fucking blind so they could easily figure this out with one attacking someone and when they try to sneak past it another one literally walks right past them and they have to sneak out of the church with even the slightest noise making them come closer to them, youd think the lack of eyes would have clued these people in that they shouldnt have monster vision
If this had been going on weeks maybe I can see snapping and feeding granny but less then twenty hours and the priest is racking up a pile of bodies?
Fun fact about the "heat wave" subplot. This was filmed in Toronto in winter so it was miserable for the actresses. Okay maybe not that fun...
To be fair a heat wave was the justification for Jill's outfit in the game as well.
That was in the novel, not the game. It also creates another issue with Leon's clothes
4:30
That was more of a 'Demolition man' helicopter drop...
minus the "PHEONIX"!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im pretty sure something was explained in the movie suggesting the t virus was on "ground level" which literally doesn't make sense but the movies exuse to reanimate anyone who died and fir umbrella nuking the city.
7:00
A cool nod to the game is how that guy is actually a character from Nemesis named Dario. He doesn't last very long.
5:43 Actually, from what I heard in a commentary on this movie, the filmmakers wanted the zombies to move quicker, so they edited the scene with that weird blur effect. Which kinda gets a mixed reaction from me: on one hand, the zombies do look like they're moving quicker so there's less time spent on them just walking, but on the other hand, none of the other movies use this effect again and it just looks really tacky, like something you'd see in a generic zombie movie.
Why is the first video NOT available in the US? WTF...I really wanted to see it. I feel saddened at the loss of a good RE1 Bashing!
the video is currently copyright flagged and i will be getting a copyright strike because of it but i will be fighting it and the video will be available again in about 2 and a half weeks sorry for the inconvenience.
A few years late on this one but the camera effect is so they don't have to spend a lot on zombie makeup/cgi for extras.
I'm not sure if you'll ever see this but would you consider reviewing "The Stepfather" movie series please?
The first 3 movies and the remake, would really love your take on them.
I noticed that too..they should have just put Chris and Jill in the first movie instead of the completely made up Alice character.she has no place in this film because she was not in the first so how?? Does she know about the zombies and how too kill them????plus they made her look more of a stereotyped cliche bad girl with a honest heart.Jill in the games was smart and strong but was also level headed and always looked like a professional.here she was just cocky eye candy in a short dress.
Umbrella is the government.... and we know the government never lies.....
*sickly sweet smile*
Cheers
Well about that wall. Could it be that Umbrella build that wall at the same time as the city?. After all they do have secret lab underneath the city,so that wall could be just another faill-safe. I guess it could be placed underground and then when outbreak started , the wall could be just raised up.
well when they show the computer generated video of the wall being built its shown as being placed as individual panels, i mean the underground theory is a good one but if that were the case they would have shown it emerging from the ground, but they didn't.
oh ok. I never saw that scene. Thx for clarification.
where did the idea for Alice's psychic powers even come from. to my knowledge no virus in any resident evil game ever granted psychic powers. even Wesker only ever got superhuman strength, speed, reflexes and healing.
04:34 That's not a Mission Impossible style rappel... that's DEMOLITON MAN style rappel!
Umbrella guy looks like Gordon Ramsey.
Fun Fact: The Zombie at the wall causing panic in the beginning is played by German comedian/actor Tom Gerhardt, famous before anything else for his portrayal of drunk and/or conservative German stereotypes - as can be seen here th-cam.com/video/7hQrwlb0kwk/w-d-xo.html
Wabbelschwabbel!
Is there a spot were i could watch your review of the first resident evil movie, it is restricted
you can watch it right here in a few days when the copyright strike is lifted.
That's nice to hear, love your reviews dude.
I think an actual zombie apocalypse was actually going to break out before the high was opened
the worst thing was how they ruined nikolai
Did you know you review of the first movie in this series is blocked in my country 'the USA' don't know why as it is the only of your videos that is but wanted to tell you
yeah i know, its currently copyright flagged i will be getting a copyright strike because of it, but I'm gonna dispute that and it'll be available agin in two weeks, sorry for the inconvenience.
Deusdaecon Reviews sorry to hear that I know TH-cam's been kind of sh*t to reviewers recently. Like your work.
i remember Nemesis as the most scary thing in RE 3, but in this one, hes had a puppy eyes....
not to mention 21:40 only idiot people, standing in the direction of fire
To this day I thought this movie was titled Resident Evil: Nemesis ... like the game. I guess it's just bc Nemesis is what I remember the most from it
Well (stupid backstory aside), he was put on the screen very well
10:39 - 11:44 Well, how else could they rip off Return of the Living Dead? All they need is for one of those decomposing skeletons to scream-
👨🎤🎵DO YOU WANNA PARTY?!🎵
Lets hope that "the final chapter" is actually final... The world doesnt need more of this shit
Agreed, we will see how Netflix handles it.
wait so when the scientists daughter gets taken from school in the morning and is in a car crash the film then jumps 13 hours later and it's still light.... it would have to at least be midnight..... shoddy shoddy anderson
IMO, RE: Apocalypse is the BEST Live-Action Resident Evil Movie Ever Made, and lemme just clarify it's NOT a Masterpiece and FAR from amazing, it's flawed for sure but it's the most rewatchable for me and accurate to the games, it's a B movie.
I know this is off topic but I always assumed the zombie plague in Romero's original trilogy was airborn considering how some came back without being bitten. Also if that's the case, couldn't be true that the bite is not the cause of zombification but rather you are simply dying bacteria inside the mouth entering you bloodstream?
In the "of the dead" films if you die you come back as a zombie, bites just speed up the process, although that doesn't apply to day of the dead because people die and don't come back as zombies, because they wanted to get across to the audience that whatever caused the outbreak is no longer happening.
@@deusdeaconReviews oh so thats the reason
Great review, man. This movie really makes my blood boil. I often laugh at bad movies but this one really pissed me. What a way to ruin Jill Valentine(One of my favourite characters from the game series), and Alice overshadowing established game characters especially Jill in every turn and being all superhero was infuriating, lame portrayal of Nemesis(How did you fuck up such badass monster from RE3?!), characters making stupid decisions because Alice is only allowed to be competent, story makes no sense(So Umbrella wanted to test fight between Nemesis and Alice during zombie apocalypse?!!) This might be my least favourite of RE live action films.
As fan of the game series i have quite disdain for these movies(first one was at least watchable because it was its own story) I get the feeling Anderson's response to the fans are like this "Excited to see your favourite characters from the games in this movie? Well fuck them, they don't matter. My wife is the only thing that matters and you should love her too"
Anyway, i love your videos and they are really entertaining to watch. Keep it up! 😀☺👏
Are you going to review Resident Evil: The Final Chapter someday?
the final chapter review is written and filming ASAP
LJ was alive simply so they can say “hey we let the black guy live”! 😂 that dont last long tho.
18:10 seriously was that really necessary
Can anyone tell me what the "thats convenient" clip he always uses is from?
Its from Ginger snaps 2: Unleashed, I have reviewed it.
@@deusdeaconReviews thanks so much mate. Love your videos. Haven't watched the gingers snaps videos yet, because the first at least is on my list to watch. Only for into horror a few years ago, and reviewers like you are part of the reason its now my favourite genre. So basically, I want to say thanks for your part in turning me on to horror.
Most recently you convinced me to check out colour out of space and the void. So thanks for those
From what I understand from the games raccoon city is in the heart of Missouri So 90ﾟ weather is nothing
the city it self has always been modelled on Montréal, Québec though
@@deusdeaconReviews In that case some surprise they were even alive, I've seen Canadians pass out in 70ﾟ weather
lol listen to the commentary on RE:A, The actress that plays jill ONLY talks about jill
You know what watching this review I just realized something that this movie series she needs to be trying to make a distaff version of Albert Wesker as a hero and follow along so why did they have Wesker in the first movie?
watching through these again it really doesn't help making a film about a game, then making an entirely new character that cleans up after the not as competent characters from the games. I mean Jill isn't entirely incompetent at least, but they clearly made her the second fiddle to random unknown hot wife of director.
Why the heck doesn't Umbrella have a robotics division, that would be the prefect counter to bioweapons, zombies don't eat robots.
Lets be honest if nothing else these film firmly establish that umbrella, don't do silly things like logic and making sense, "make more killer viruses, make less sense" is their motto.
I bet that is on their business cards too ;]
@@zerrowolf6747 "Here at Umbrella, we have truly taken the phrase 'Fuck logic' to heart."
Im not really fond of «alternate universe» but, i do find this movie decent since Jill had more screentime on this compared to the rest of the game cast later on in the movie...
I mean lets be honest the majority of that screen time consisted of “Alice is better then jill” crap
@@deusdeaconReviews yeah .. kinda do feel like they under utilized the actress portraying Jill (and defenitive Claire, Leon and the rest later on). Marry Sue concept is only good in anime tho;(
Yo is that the hg sandrock gundam in the back
Why is the first movies review blocked in the US?
currently in copyright dispute, it'll be back in about two weeks.
Of course it is, they really love to mess with reviewers and critics. Hell I think LoreReloaded gets in trouble every time he says the words "Star Trek" lole.
I don't know, i still see people wearing jeans in a heatwave but maybe thats just brits in denial 😂😂😂
See, I can defend the first movie because it didn't really step on to many toes of the games. But here, when they start bringing in characters like Jill, I lose the ability to defend. So first movie is a passable bit of nonsense I can find fun, but after that I can barely finish the fucking things.
I know this is late but you should check out the residents evil (biohazard) comic that explained nemesis back story I know it not canon but it still better than that back story
4:52 are you referring to the actor or the character being trained by in Isreal?
the actor oded fehr
@@deusdeaconReviews oh
maybe nemesis infected ashfort ya know cuz he did that in the game but not here
Here is something that confused me that you some what touched on. If the child needs regular doses of the anti-virus wouldn't Carlos also need them too? how is his infection different then hers also so how are they alive by the end where are they getting their doses?
as i understand it, regular bite infection is not extensive so only needs a single does to cure, With the girl the virus is whats keeping her alive so she needs dose of the anti-virus to keep her from going many tentacled monstrosity on everyone, but yes you are right about how she's still functioning without the antivirus at the end though, unless they have the stuff stockpiled somewhere.
You know I originally could tolerate some of these movies, even if the continued and increased focus on Alice, who is clearly only in the movie so the director has something to jerk off to, but the more i learn about the Resident Evil Franchise, it's lore, character and all the story potential, really just serves to make me hate these movies even more.
They had all the content needed to make a decent number of films, just follow the games more or less and you've got a movie or several. But nope, let's just take the most basic, bare bones elements from the first three games, cram the director's OC character in there, have her do all the cool shit and just continue to make the movies more and more ludicrious as things go on while ignoring basically everything from the previous film.
I wonder why they didn’t just make Payton Barry
The funny thing is, if you read the comic, Nemesis does have a tragic backstory
Resident evil movie series is a prequel to return of the living dead
