Milla Jovovich's video game action girl Alice has escaped the hive of the first flick and must now find a way through the hordes of zombies to escape Racoon City.
"My name is Alice, and I remember... everything!" Well, I wish the filmmakers here could remember what makes the good stuff tick.
The er... "original" film... a good, glossy, zombie ridden exercise in style over substance - Anti Oscar Material and great fun. This? Also great fun, but if the brain went out the window before this, the sequel is scraping out the skull.
Jovovich is now a gun-toting, genetically-interefered-with superwoman (fine), there are wall-to-wall thrills 'n' spills of the utterly "oh come on" variety, and, as one would expect, the odd wee textbook scare.
If you've only got the time to listen to one of the three commentary tracks, go for the PRODUCER one, as one of the guilty parties is Paul WS Anderson, whose recent 'AVP' I found suprprisingly enjoyable (as long as you're expecting 'Wrestlemania in a Pyramid'!) Well, he wrote this, and I simply HAD to listen to him sitting there glowing affectionately.
In short, it's highly enjoyable drivel - the sort of film Beavis and Butthead were born to watch.

Sequel to the big-screen version of the popular computer game. Milla Jovovich reprises her role as Alice, who now finds herself stuck in the contaminated Raccoon City after the deadly re-opening of the Hive. The infamous Umbrella Corporation has banned anyone from leaving in case of possible infection with the outside world. Along with other survivors Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory) and Carlos Oliviera (Oded Fehr), Alice must fight for her survival - and do all she can to escape the nightmare necropolis. Together, the small band of survivors seeks out eminent scientist Dr Charles Ashford (Jared Harris), the only man with the knowledge to help them out of their awful entrapment - but they soon discover that Ashford's co-operation comes at a heavy price.
