Resident Evil 1 - 4 Box Set: Resident Evil / Apocalypse / Extinction / Afterlife (4 Discs)

great movies, but the first one is only in english!!

when i saw this for the first time i hated it but over time (years) i have liked it more and more and would watch it any time do if u love zombie films so then but this.

I agree with the previous comments, the 1st 3 films were brilliant but then I was extremely disapoitned when I went to watch the 4th at the Cinema. It was a total let down, like I said I loved the 1st 3 films so my expectations for the 4th were very high however it was a total let down.
I think the problem was that the directors focused waaaaay too much on the 3D effects (which wernt too bad) and just lost the story line in the process.
Besides the big disappointment with the 4th film I will still be buying the boxset as I think if your going to have the boxset you need all the films!
Again dont be totally put off by the 4th film because the 1st 3 are brilliant!

i really enjoyed the first 3! loved them! not the greatest storeyline ever but hey! zombies... guns.... more zombies... what more could you ask for from a film about zombies!

but the 4th film happened... what the heck happened? i just.... couldnt get into it! i mean... there was the usual supply of zombies and blood and guns... but... just... couldnt get into it! the story line was pretty poor... and... it just lost all sense of anything!!

theyre all still a good watch... just.. you might feel a bit let down by the 4th film... just wasnt at the standard i expected after the other 3

Really...these movies *aren't* that bad. They're not perfect, but sorry...no movie is. I would rather watch these than over-hyped movies like Inception etc. Good to see a release of a collection. Now, be good FOX or whoever..and release them on blu-ray and I'm happy.

the previous poster has clearly not done the research he claims others should do themselves as Resident Evil : Degeneration is part of the original video game storyline and absolutely nothing to do with this series. Also I dont know why everyone thinks these movies are so good, the second one is the worst movie I have ever seen, didnt bother with the fourth (not fifth).

One of the best anthologies of fims ever made.The fifth film of the series (let us not forget the fourth film,the anime style Resident Evil) and the definite conclusion of the series.Some people think this is the fourth film made,but clearly have not done their research on this.

I have enjoyed the Resident Evil films and you can sit down and enjoy them without puting to much in to it. My personel favourate out of all the movie's so far is Resident Evil Apocaypse as it's closer to the Resident Evil 3 game and has my personal best monster - Nemesis

As a series the Res Evil films are not so bad but I think a 5 and final film would tie it together and finsh it off, with the end of the 4th film setting up for a 5th

Resident Evil - 7 out of 10
Resident Evil - Apocalypse - 9 out of 10
Resident Evil - Extinction - 4 out of 10
Resident Evil - Afterlife - 8 out of 10

You don't watch these movies expecting cohrent plotting of brilliant acting. The funny thing about these movies is you could actually watch them in any order and they still make as much sense as if they would if you watched them in order. In fact if you wanted to be picky you could say they were pretty dire, but that is missing the point of the series.
Based on the gobsmackingly popular console game series the films set out to be nothing but a flashy bit of survival horror that manages to throw in a bit of sci-fi, virus of the week zombie raveged end of days, it's all a bit mental, but is actually great fun.
Resident Evil (2002)
The surprise hit that spawned all the sequels. was hated by critics but loved by the viewer. it's very flashy, very shallow but actually very good and still the best of the series.
****
Resident Evil Apocalypse (2004)
Starts where the first left off where the virus has become global.
The acting is dire and the plotting even worse, but with so much monster mayhem it's still enjoyable with a pack of beer and pizza kind of way.
**1/2
Resident Evil Extinction (2007)
The end of days days has come and it all looks a bit Mad Max.
Directed by the guy who made Highlander this movie has some gobsmaking images of a desert covered Las Vagas and as usual plenty of zombie slaughter.
***
Resident Evil Afterlife. (2010)
Alice has lost her super powers, and this makes the film actaully better as it makes her vulnerable and adds a bit more tension to what was becoming more Matrix than zombie apocalypse.
with the return of Paul W,S. Anderson directing again the film dazzles with the effects and leaves the ending open for a fifth onslaught.
***1/2

They all may be shallow and make little sense, but they are great fun. and this quadrilogy is brilliant value for money.
