- 58Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean AxmakerSeattle Post-IntelligencerSean AxmakerBest enjoyed by keeping in mind the latest cinematic proposition that apocalyptic disaster doesn't bring out the worst in people, only the stupidest.
- 58Portland OregonianM. E. RussellPortland OregonianM. E. RussellThe bad news? The movie is monumentally stupid. The good news? It's a fun kind of stupid.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterRichard James HavisThe Hollywood ReporterRichard James HavisIt's a frantic piece of filmmaking that invests nothing in the characters and moves much too fast for its own good. But things do pick up a bit for the final third, when a story line finally arrives.
- 50New York PostLou LumenickNew York PostLou LumenickThere is nothing startlingly new in Resident Evil: Apocalpyse, but it is delivered with some panache and humor.
- 50Los Angeles TimesKevin CrustLos Angeles TimesKevin CrustWitt injects the film with plenty of razzle-dazzle on the visual side, but the pace deadens whenever the zombies are offscreen or the characters open their mouths long enough to do anything more than grunt.
- 40TV Guide MagazineAngel CohnTV Guide MagazineAngel CohnOffers up more of everything: more bloody zombie dogs, more crazy corporate evildoers, more Milla Jovovich unclothed and more over-the-top action scenes.
- 30VarietyScott FoundasVarietyScott FoundasCalamitously uninspired and borderline incoherent, new pic lacks even those fleeting pleasures (namely, a sense of humor) that made the first film a passable popcorn attraction.
- 30Washington PostWashington PostPlot and narrative? Minimal. Confrontations? Endless. Surprises? None.
- 25Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyPhiladelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyThose who want something more substantial from a movie than a vid-game script with centerfold appeal will not find it in this noisy, bone-crushing survivalist flick inspired by the Game Cube diversion.
