Resident Evil

So, my mom was asking about this series the other day which made me decide to go back and blog about all the ones I haven't blogged on. This series is based on a video game about a woman who fights an evil corporation responsible for a zombie like outbreak. The first film is called Resident Evil.

Anderson (Death Race) directs this action packed film. Jovovich (Fifth Element) wakes up in her shower. She can't remember anything. Immediately a military group busts into her home and explain to her that she is a guard for an underground facility. The facility had an outbreak and she was gassed and her memory erased. Rodriquez (Fast & Furious) is one of the military people. The group also runs into Mabius (Ugly Betty) and Purefoy (The Following). The get into the facility and must fight to survive against the computer that has taken over. The action is amazing, it's just scary enough, and the end... only 2 survive, but do they really?
Next film...

Alice - Jovovich awakens to find herself along in a medical facility. She breaks out and goes into the street of Racoon City. It has become infested - the disease got out of the underground facility and has started infecting the world's population. She runs into others trying to escape the city which is about to be bombed. Anderson wrote this one, but left the directing up to Witt (Skyfall). The action is just as good as the first. Fehr (The Mummy), Kretschmann (U-571), and  Glen (Game of Thrones) joins the cast. Does she make it out alive?
Next film...

Alice takes who survives the last movie across the Nevada desert on the way to Alaska which she has come to believe will be a safe haven. Meanwhile, the Umbrella Corp is still trying to destroy everything at every turn. Anderson writes this one, but Mulcahy (Highlander) directs. It's got action, but it wasn't as powerful as the first two. Larter (Heroes) is part of the cast and she plays Claire - if you know the game a very important part of the plot to come. O'Mara (Terra Nova) and Ashby (Teen Wolf) join the cast. I don't want to say who else & you shouldn't look or it will give it away who survived the 2nd film. Does she make it to Alaska or get sidetracked?
Next film...Afterlife (blogged about earlier) then...Retribution (blogged about earlier) and then....
Coming in 2015 Resident Evil: Rising
All in all, I say: SEE THEM - ALL OF THEM do a marathon - it's ton's of fun!
