RESIDENT EVIL


Resident Evil is a movie franchise which stars Milla Jovovich who plays as Alice.

The 1st movie franchise was released on the year 2002(Resident Evil: Survive the Horror), Jovovich then was co-starred by Michelle Rodriguez, Eric Mabius, and James Purefoy.

Movie Plot (from Wikipedia):

Inside The Hive, a top-secret genetic research facility owned by the Umbrella Corporation located deep beneath Raccoon City, an unidentified thief drops a blue vial in a lab, exits, and seals the room. The vial breaks and the facility's artificial intelligence, The Red Queen, detects possible infection, and in response, seals the Hive and purposefully uses the facility's fire suppression systems to kill everyone inside.

Elsewhere, Alice (Milla Jovovich) awakens in an empty mansion with amnesia. She and a police officer, Matt (Eric Mabius), are seized by a group of commandos and taken to an underground train station which leads to The Hive. They are joined by Spence (James Purefoy), who is also suffering from amnesia. The head of the commandos, “One”, explains that everyone in the group, except the police officer, is an employee of the Umbrella Corporation. It is also revealed that The Red Queen is responsible for releasing a nerve gas in the mansion which has caused their amnesia. When the train arrives, the group opens and enters The Hive.

The group eventually finds their way to The Queen's chamber, but the core is protected by a deadly laser defense system. Four of the commandos, including One, are killed. The only commandos left alive are Rain (Michelle Rodriguez), Kaplan, and J.D. Alice and Kaplan then enter the core room with an EMP device designed to disable The Queen. The AI manifests itself as a holographic image of a young girl and makes a final plea to not disable it. The Queen's warnings are ignored, the system is disabled, and primary power fails which opens the doors of the facility, releasing the now zombified staff and other experiments into The Hive. During a battle between the group and some of the zombies, Rain becomes infected after receiving multiple bite wounds and J.D. is killed.

As the group moves throughout The Hive, Alice and Spence slowly regain their memory. Later, Matt and Alice are separated from Kaplan, Rain, and Spence, who remain in near The Queen's chamber. Matt looks for information about his sister, while Alice encounters several dogs which were experimented on and surprises herself when she uses martial arts to defend herself.

Matt eventually finds his sister, Lisa, who is now a zombie. As she attacks him, Alice arrives in time to save him. Matt explains that he and Lisa unsuccessfully attempted to smuggle out a sample of the blue vial, the T-Virus, in the hopes of taking down Umbrella. Matt believes this to be the fault of Lisa's contact, who supposedly betrayed her. Alice, remembering she was Lisa's contact, remains silent.

Soon, the survivors are once more united at The Queen's chamber and are forced to switch her back on to find an exit; the Red Queen agrees to help them. As Alice and the others try to escape through the maintenance tunnels, they are ambushed by zombies. Kaplan is separated from the rest of the team on their way to the train. Alice suddenly remembers that an anti-virus exists that could cure the T-Virus infection.

Upon their arrival at the lab, they find that the vials containing the T-Virus and anti-virus are gone. Spence, fully regaining his memory, is shown as the person who stole and released the virus and stashed the anti-virus on the train. He traps the survivors in the lab and heads toward the train, but before he can inject himself with the anti-virus, he is killed by a mutated creature called the Licker. Back at the lab, The Queen offers to spare Alice and Matt if they kill Rain, who has been infected for too long for the anti-virus to work. As the Licker attempts to bash through the lab window to get to them, a sudden power-outage occurs. The laboratory door opens to reveal Kaplan, who has permanently disabled the Red Queen.

The four survivors start the train before The Hive is locked in quarantine. As the train heads back to the mansion, the Licker hurls Kaplan from the train and attacks the group. Alice battles the Licker as Matt kills a now zombified Rain. Matt, after having been clawed by the Licker, opens a trap door on the bottom of the train, causing the Licker to be dragged along the track and burned to death.

Matt and Alice arrive at the mansion, and escape at the last moment when the doors close. Matt begins to mutate due to the Licker's unstable T-Virus, which affected Matt through his claw wounds. Before Alice can give him the anti-virus, the mansion doors burst open and Umbrella scientists seize them. They subdue Alice and take Matt away, revealing he is to be put into the "Nemesis Program" and they intend to re-open the Hive. Alice attempts to fend them off, but they overpower her and knock her unconscious.


By the year 2004, the 2nd installment of Resident Evil was released which is entitled as: The Apocalypse. In this film Alice was joined by her friend Jill Valentine where she is introduced as a member of the fictional Raccoon Police Department's Special Tactics And Rescue Service(STAR).

2010 comes the Resident Evil Afterlife.


With the trend of 3D movies,director Paul W.S. Anderson made its third installment 3D.


Movie Plot (from Wikipedia)


After the events of Resident Evil: Extinction, the Alice clones (Milla Jovovich) attempt to killAlbert Wesker (Shawn Roberts) at his base in Japan. All present clones are killed in an explosion, as Wesker escapes in an aircraft. The original Alice ambushes him, but Wesker injects her with a serum that neutralizes the T-virus in her system, eliminating her superhuman powers and making her human again. He reveals that his T-Virus powers have surpassed her own, but before he can kill her, the aircraft crashes and Alice emerges from the wreckage.

Six months later, Alice follows a repeating emergency broadcast from a survivors' safe haven known as "Arcadia" in Alaska. After many fruitless months searching for Arcadia and finding no survivors along the way, including her friends Claire Redfield (Ali Larter) and K-Mart (Spencer Locke), Alice begins to lose hope, believing herself to be the last surviving human on the planet. Stopping on an abandoned beach, Alice finds the helicopter taken by Claire and the others when they and Alice parted ways. A crazed Claire, under the influence of an Umbrella Corporation device attached to her chest, attacks her. Alice removes the device, finding that it has damaged Claire's memory, which she slowly regains.

Flying a two-person plane, they enter the ruins of Los Angeles and find a small group of survivors, led by Luther West (Boris Kodjoe) living in a maximum security prison, surrounded bythe undead. Alice crash lands the plane on the roof of the prison and learn that Arcadia is not a fixed place but actually a cargo tanker traveling along the coast. Since the plane cannot take more than two, Alice and the survivors try to figure out a means to make it to Arcadia together. The survivors have been keeping watch on a prisoner, Chris (Wentworth Miller), whom they found locked in a maximum security cell when they arrived. He says that he is a soldier who fought the early outbreak, but was locked up by prisoners as a cruel joke when the mission failed and knows a way to reach the coast, and thereby Arcadia, but will not reveal it unless he is released.

They do not believe him, and keep him locked up until the undead manage to tunnel through the sewer ways and up into the prison, and a giant axe wielding Nemesis monster starts to break down the front gate; Alice and survivors are out of time to find a means to reach Arcadia so they decide to free Chris and use his escape route. He recognizes Claire and reveals himself as her brother, though she does not remember him. Chris' proposes using a military vehicle, stored in prison. Discovering the vehicle is not operational Bennett uses the plane to escape. The remaining group has no option but to use the sewer tunnel. The group fights their way out — Luther is trapped when the tunnel caves in - Alice, Claire, and Chris manage to escape through the sewers.

They continue to Arcadia, finding the ship completely functional, but abandoned. Exploring its inner depths, they realize that it is a trap set by Umbrella to lure survivors to the ship to conduct experiments on them. Claire now remembers what happened to her group when they arrived to Alaska: Umbrella ambushed their group when they landed on the beach, attaching the devices to them, though she managed to escape. They release the survivors, among them K-Mart, and Alice continues deeper into the ship, finding escape helicopters and a purging bomb. Deeper inward, she finds Wesker, who explains the price of his survival, is a war within himself for control against the T-Virus. By assimilating Alice, the only individual to bond successfully with the T-virus, he might be able to gain full mastery of it. At this point the crew of the ship had abandoned Wesker, terrified by his cannibalism.

Chris, Claire, and Alice battle the super-powered Wesker and seemingly kill him with help from a recovered K-Mart. Wesker does not die, but regenerate and escapes on a helicopter. He activates the purge bomb on the Arcadia in attempt to destroy the ship and kill the remaining survivors. Anticipating his actions Alice had hidden the bomb on board the helicopter, which is destroyed by the explosion. Alice, Claire, and Chris watch the destruction from the deck of the Arcadia. Unseen by them a parachute descends from the explosion, and Luther also emerges from the sewers.

Alice resolves to turn Arcadia into a real safe haven and broadcasts its message for any other survivors. As Claire, Chris, and Alice decide how to proceed with all the survivors, they see an approaching Umbrella assault fleet led by Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory), who is under the control of the same Umbrella device used on Claire.
