Plot summary
Re-opening Of The Hive
At the end of the
first movie, Umbrella sent in a
biohazard team to re-open
The Hive, a top secret
research facility developed by the
Umbrella Corporation containing its biological
research projects, including those for biological
weaponry and
warfare. Not surprisingly, the team is quickly overrun by the creatures and
zombies contained within, which soon make their way to the surface, forcing Umbrella to quickly evacuate their important personnel and families. During this evacuation
Angela Ashford, daughter of prominent Umbrella scientist
Dr. Charles Ashford, is involved in a
car crash, leaving her stranded in the city. The carnage reaches the streets of the metropolis of
Raccoon City 13 hours later.
After receiving calls sent out by the Raccoon City Police Department for off duty police members to report to duty. Ex-S.T.A.R.S. agent Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory) heads to the Raccoon City Police Department to collect some possessions and help her fellow colleagues. The station is swarming with zombies who have been arrested for attacking people. Here we meet L.J., who is handcuffed to a wooden bench next to a zombie and about to be bitten. Jill saves him with a well-placed headshot to the zombie.
Evacuation
Umbrella sets up a containment zone around the city, screening people for
contamination before they are allowed to leave. When the
infection reaches the screening point, Umbrella executive
Major Timothy Cain issues the order to shut the gates and orders all remaining inhabitants back into the city at gunpoint, including Jill and some of their own staff that were screening inside the gates.
Meanwhile, Alice (Milla Jovovich), the amnesiac heroine of the first movie, and former Umbrella Security Operative, wakes up inside an Umbrella controlled experimental lab within the deserted Raccoon City hospital. She walks out onto the street to find a wave of destruction amid the streets.
Jill teams up with fellow cop Peyton Wells and news reporter Terri Morales to try and find another way out. They take refuge in a church where they find themselves at the mercy of a trio of "lickers", large deadly creatures with long tongues fresh out of The Hive. With the group running low on ammo, Alice breaks through a window on a motorcycle and quickly dispatches them with the aid of her motorcycle and guns.
City Of The Dead
Dr. Ashford, who realizes his daughter may be trapped and not dead, remains in the camp outside Raccoon City with some of the containment staff where he tracks down his daughter's signal to her school. He then uses the cameras within the city to track down survivors and offers Alice and her team a way out providing they can get his daughter out safely. Ashford reveals that Umbrella is now preparing to "sanitise" the city by destroying it with a
nuclear device in order to prevent further contamination and that they have until sunrise before this occurs.
While all this is going on, Carlos Oliveria (Oded Fehr), a hired gun for Umbrella, finds himself and his team abandoned by Umbrella deep inside Raccoon City where their numbers are gradually reduced by the hordes of undead advancing upon them. Survivors Carlos, Nicholai, and Yuri spot an Umbrella helicopter and follow it only to see it make a drop. Upon getting to the drop they find the boxes now empty. Off-screen, they also get a call from Ashford with the same deal as Alice's team.
We find L.J., unable to get out in time and running over various undead, until he is distracted by zombie hookers and crashes his car. He stumbles upon a mall where the remaining members of Raccoon City's S.T.A.R.S. are holed up. A sniper kills a zombie that was just about to attack him. Inside, L.J. shows off his gold plated guns and within a few minutes the S.T.A.R.S. are scrambling to fight off a huge bio-weapon, a nine-foot tall humanoid called the Nemesis. We cut back to Umbrella who issue Nemesis (freshly kitted out from the helicopter drop) the order to kill all S.T.A.R.S. members, an order he promptly follows. L.J., is not considered a target, and subsequently survives.
Program Nemesis
Alice's team spot Nemesis from a bridge and he fires upon Jill, still carrying out his "kill all S.T.A.R.S." objective. Her colleague Payton is killed, and Alice decides to take on the creature while Jill and Terri try to escape. Alice finds herself severely outmatched because of Nemesis' heavy weaponry and makes a hasty retreat. Jill and Terri pick up L.J. and they make their way to the school. They split up to look for Angie, after which Terri meets a gruesome death at the hands of zombie children with her camera catching her final moments.
Jill finds Angela, but both are soon set upon by an undead dog, which is quickly dispatched by Nicholai. He becomes overconfident and is killed by a second dog, forcing them into the kitchen. Jill hatches a plan to blow the kitchen up using the gas stoves, but her match goes out at the critical moment. Alice turns up just in time to toss a cigarette in.
An Escape Route
Carlos meets up with the team, and Angela and Alice sense that each other are infected. 'Angie' explains to them that her father created the T-Virus to allow her to walk (she has a spinal nerve condition), since the T-Virus regenerates dead material; the creation of zombies from
entirely dead subjects was a horrific side effect. Angie reveals the existence of the
antidote, and makes claims that Umbrella took her father's research and used it for their own biological programs. Ashford gives them directions to where a helicopter is parked and instructs them that they will need to take it by force. Jill prompts Alice to reveal all to Terri's video camera so that the truth can get out whilst they head to the helicopter site.
They proceed to the location and take out the guards, only to find they have been set-up by Umbrella who have been monitoring Ashford's communications. Surrounded by guards, Cain instructs Alice and Nemesis to fight in another Umbrella experiment to find out who is better. Alice refuses and Cain shoots Dr. Ashford, indicating that he was valuable to Umbrella and he will not hesitate to kill the others.
Alice Vs Nemesis
In the unarmed fight that follows they reach a stalemate, until Nemesis arms himself with a chunk of steel and Cain gives Alice a metal rod. Alice gets the upper hand and impales Nemesis - only to come to realize it was her friend, Matt Addison (Eric Mabius), from the encounter in the Hive (the events of the first
Resident Evil movie). She apologizes to him and ignores Cain's orders to finish him.
Alice is then offered a flight out, with Cain willing to leave everyone else behind. There is another battle with Nemesis taking out most of the Umbrella guards before being crushed by a helicopter that he took out with his rocket launcher. The survivors - Alice, Jill, Carlos, Angie, and L.J. - board the helicopter and push Cain out. Cain lands back on the plaza, injured and unable to run from the mass of attracted zombies descending upon the plaza. He takes a few of them out with his gun before realizing it is hopeless and decides to take his own life. Unfortunately, he is out of bullets and the zombies, including Dr. Ashford, eat him alive.
Revival/Extinction
The
nuclear missile strikes City Hall and the shockwave knocks the helicopter out the sky. The helicopter crashes into the heart of The
Arklay Mountains where some time later an Umbrella team happens upon the crashed helicopter and find no survivors and one body, Alice.
We see Alice, three weeks later, submerged in a water tank inside another lab hooked up to various equipment via tubes and needles. The tank is drained and a confused and amnesic Alice is handled by Umbrella lab staff.
Very quickly she regains her memory and utters the tag line "My name is Alice, and I remember everything" and proceeds to fight her way out, quickly discovering her new powers, including the ability to kill a distant guard watching her on a security camera just by thinking it. Outside more guards are waiting but they are ushered aside by Jill and Carlos masquerading as Umbrella operatives. Along with L.J. and Angie, they whisk Alice away.
They are confronted once again at the security gate, where Dr. Sam Isaacs tells the guards to let her go and informs his assistant to "Program Alice activate." Alice's eyes flash the Umbrella corporate logo in response to his command. The film ends with panning out of Alice's eye and into the exosphere revealing a space station with the Umbrella logo on it.

Olay product
Regenerist advertisements.

Trivia
Cast and Crew
- Natasha Henstridge was originally chosen to play Jill, but left the project due to other commitments.
- The makers of the movie were originally intending to show a direct connection between Angela Ashford and the Red Queen (suggesting that the Red Queen was designed after Angie) but they decided against it.
- The website for Apocalypse reveals that "Alice" is her code name. Her real name is Janus Prospero, a fact re-inforced by Carlos' badge at the end. However in the novelization of the first movie, Janus is used to confirm communication to the Mansion Team (Spence and Alice) and Prospero is used by the Mansion Team for the same reason. Alice Abernathy is Alice's full name in both novelizations, but is said to be confirmed by Anderson.
- The film's director Alexander Witt has a cameo in the film as the sniper on top of Raccoon City Hall.
- When the movie first comes to a shot of Jill Valentine, newspapers concerning her suspension from the Raccoon Police Department, can been seen. If looked at carefully it is shown that it had something to do with the "zombie" incident at the Arklay Mountains. This shows a connection between the video game's version of Jill, although, later through the movie, Jill's lack of knowledge of Umbrella's wrong doings makes the information in the newspapers seem contradictory.
- When looking closely at the newspaper clippings in Jill Valentine's home, the by line of the articles states it was written by Jeremy Bolt, the producer of the movie series.
- When the SUV Angela is in crashes, you can see the CN Tower in the background.
- Ben Moody, former lead guitarist of the gothic rock band Evanescence, makes a brief cameo appearance as a zombie in the film. This fact is also mentioned in the DVD audio commentary.
Zombies and Creatures
- Just as in the first movie, zombies were trained at a zombie boot camp under the principles of zen-zombies (a creature that relentlessly follows its target) and liquid zombies. The commentary reveals that Anderson and other crew members were tempted to make the zombies move faster but decided that it would be breaking a fundamental element of the games.
- The Nemesis was an actual actor in a suit. He was performed by Matthew G. Taylor with only minimal special-effects applied to certain parts of the characters body (such as the eye of the creature). Despite Taylor being 2.01 metres in height he was still considered too short, to hide this the character wears large boots and in many scenes the Nemesis was stretched to appear taller.
- The same dog-team was used in the second film for the zombie-dogs as in the first. The look of the dogs was achieved through clever combination of make-up and computer-effects. The crew experienced trouble while shooting the scene where the dogs were to jump through a window (a similar scene appears in the first film) as the dogs refused to co-operate. As a result the window had to be recreated in CGI with the dogs jumping through a hole.
- The lickers were this time completely computer-generated though the use of an animatronic model was considered for a while. Unlike in the first film the development of the lickers began at an early stage of production so that the creatures would be fully ready when it was time to shoot the scenes in the church. In the movie-trailer, the lickers appear green. This could be because the film hadn't been digitally graded. That's why the church and school sequence appear to be daylight, although it is set at night.
Miscellaneous
- Ironically, the film was made during the SARS scare that gripped Toronto during 2003. According to the film extras, Apocalypse was one of three Hollywood productions that didn't shy away from Toronto during the scare. Because of this, Apocalypse was given near unlimited access to certain resources, including permission to close down a major road for 3 days.
- The movie was originally going to be called Resident Evil: Nemesis, but was changed to Apocalypse following the release of Nemesis.
- Due to the success of Apocalypse, two more sequels are planned: Extinction and Resident Evil 4.
- The words "Finish Him" is a reference from Mortal Kombat, another movie directed by Paul Anderson.
- The guns used in the movie were all extremely loud in real life, thus no special sound effects were used to alter the sounds of the guns.
- The movie cost $11 million more than the original Resident Evil
- Like the first Resident Evil movie, the word "zombie" is never mentioned.
- A longer cut of the movie exists in Germany available to buy on DVD. This version reinstates most of the deleted scenes that were on the DVD. It is unknown if this is planned to be released in the rest of Europe and the US.
- An ad similar to the Regenerate can be seen in ending credits. The ad is states that the film is "a product of the Umbrella Corporation". It ends with "Some Side Effects may occur".
Game connections
Introduction Scenes
- Apocalypse re-enacts certain scenes from the games (particularly the intro scenes):
- The car crash scene that leaves Angela Asford stuck in Raccoon City is reminiscent to the intro of Resident Evil 2
- The scene where Alice runs through the building with an Umbrella helicopter firing at her, up to the point where she drops her gun, falls, re-grabs it and fires, is reminiscent to the intro scene of Veronica in which Claire Redfield acts accordingly.
- The scene in which Raccoon City is being overrun by zombies, and the police and Umbrella mercenaries are fighting back, up to the point in which a zombie reflects off a fallen police helmet, is reminiscent to the intro scene of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. The launching of the missile to complete sanitation is also a scene similar to that of one in the game.
- When Alice kills the lickers in the church, the bullet time resembles the bullet time in Resident Evil 0. The same way Billy killed the Leech Queen, and in Resident Evil Dead Aim, when Bruce McGivern killed Morpheus D. Duvall.
- The crash site of the helicopter is located in the Arklay Forrest near the Arklay Mountains, where the Resident Evil series first began.
- In the abandoned church and school, Jill moves and points the gun the exact same way she does in the game.
- Terri's death is identical to Joseph's death (RE1 remake) which is also recorded, though the latter was mauled by the zombie dogs, not children.
- A scene of Jill Valentine walking through a corridor in the Raven's Gate Church is the exact same way she holds her gun and walks in the remake of the first Resident Evil for Nintendo Gamecube.
- A white goddess statue can be seen in the church. Artwork of goddesses has a large role within the puzzles in the Resident Evil series.
- On the Arklay Overpass, Jill speculates that there is no way out, and that Ashford may just be watching them on the cameras, as if the whole thing were some sort of sick game. Resident Evil: Apocalypse is, of course, an adaptation of a series of "sick games" and the fixed camera perspective in most of the earlier games resembles a mounted camera's perspective.
- Alice's visit to the gun shop at the start of Apocalypse is a reference to Resident Evil 2, where one of the leading characters takes shelter in a gun shop.
- The character Angela Ashford may be a concept borrowed from Sherry Birkin, as they are both children, dressed in school uniforms, in need of rescue.
- Jill wears the same outfit from Nemesis.
- Like his video game counterpart, Nemesis only speaks one word ("S.T.A.R.S."). Unlike his video game counterpart, he only speaks this line once whereas in the game, Nemesis speaks this line during every encounter.
- The graveyard scene is a reference to Resident Evil 3: Nemesis and Resident Evil Code: Veronica, where zombies also pop out of their graves.
- The scene in which a zombie's head is reflected in a Raccoon City Police Department Motorcycle helmet, is a reference to a similar scene in this game's opening cut scene.
Game And Movie Differences
| Movie | Games
|
| Jill was suspended from S.T.A.R.S. after events unknown. They are never explained. It is explained in the novelization that Jill was suspended due to her report on zombies in the forest.
| Jill resigns from S.T.A.R.S. after all attempts to expose the events at the mansion are ignored or blocked by R.P.D. chief Brian Irons, on William Birkin's payroll. She resigns to investigate Umbrella's doings in Raccoon City full time.
|
| Raccoon City is nuked by Umbrella in an effort to cover up the outbreak. With Umbrella's marketing and economic muscle, they are able to manipulate the media into reporting that a "nuclear power plant melted down and destroyed the entire city" (despite the impossibility of a meltdown causing a nuclear explosion).
| The US government orders a nuclear missile strike on Raccoon City after a group of Tyrants defeated elements of the armed forces in a battle near an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the town (the aftermath of this battle can be seen in Resident Evil 3). Despite the political maneuvering of Umbrella, who wanted to study the effects of the city-wide infection, the strike is initiated.
|
| The T-Virus can be used for medical applications. It helped Angie to walk.
| The only application of the T-Virus is to create bioweapons. There is no positive effect of the T-Virus and it has only been used for biological weaponry.
|
| Lickers are created by injecting the T-Virus directly into living tissue. When they taste fresh blood, they mutate.
| Lickers are created when people infected by the T-Virus are exposed to a second dose. These creatures are accidental and were created due to the circumstances of the outbreak. They do not mutate after tasting blood.
|
| Nemesis is killed after defending Alice from gunfire.
| Nemesis is killed after being dodged by Jill for a majority of the outbreak. After a series of battles, the Nemesis is reduced to a nebulous blob finally put to rest by two shots from the "Paracelsus Sword" weapon, a fixed magnetic coil gun brought in by US armed forces to fight off a squad of Tyrants.
|
| Nemesis does not have tentacles, but does have a Gatling Gun and Rocket Launcher.
| Nemesis uses his T-Virus infected tentacles to attack enemies as well as a Rocket Launcher. S.T.A.R.S. member Brad Vickers was killed with his tentacles, and later resumed animation as a zombie (only to be killed by either Leon S. Kennedy or Claire Redfield).
|
| William Birkin is an Umbrella researcher working on the "Nemesis Program."
| William Birkin perfected the T-Virus and is the creator of the G-Virus (which hasn't made an appearance in the movies). An attempt on his life was the main reason for the outbreak.
|
| The outbreak in Raccoon occurred as a result of Umbrella researchers re-opening the Hive, a research facility packed to the gills with dangerous viral monsters. The city is infected within hours.
| The outbreak occurs as a combination of monsters left over from the mansion incident and an assassination attempt on William Birkin for his G-Virus sample. As the assassin escaped with his work, he injects himself with the G-Virus and wreaks havoc. In the process, the T-Virus is spilled and the rodent population in the sewer are infected, slowly spreading the virus to the citizens. The city is infected in less than a week.
|
| The T-Virus is a "mutating" virus capable of supreme good and evil.
| The G-Virus is the only virus that mutates uncontrollably and it cannot be passed by bites, but according to Anette Birkin (William Birkin's wife) "it is able to revitalize cellular functions". It requires direct inoculation or embryos implanted on a genetically compatible host. However in Resident Evil 2 the T-Virus is described as "a mutagenic toxin", and even though most of its victims turn into zombies, other creatures such as the lickers, the Tyrant and (possibly) Nemesis, giant spiders, mutated sharks, and oversized lampreys are products of infection. No positive effects of the T-virus have been observed in the games.
|
| The Umbrella Corporation publicly flaunts their wealth and power. They funded the construction of Raccoon City and have great power worldwide.
| The Umbrella Corporation is a powerful company, yet they deal mostly in secret. Though their contributions have led to the development of Raccoon City, they do not flaunt their international power openly. To the public, they've known as a simple medical/health corporation, akin to Pfizer.
|
| Nemesis was created as part of the "Nemesis Program", a project to create the ultimate bioweapon. It was created in America in the span of a few hours. It was unleashed by Umbrella within Raccoon City to test its abilities such as wiping out S.T.A.R.S.
| The Nemesis was an experimental bio-weapon created by the European branch by implanting a new kind of parasitic organism into an ordinary mass-produced Tyrant. In the first game it is revealed that the real reason for S.T.A.R.S involvement in the mansion incident was Albert Wesker's intention to test the bioweapons against "realistic targets" (armed, trained paramilitaries/military personnel). Nemesis takes time to train and perfect, since they are programmed to hunt specific targets. In Resident Evil 3, its mission was to hunt down and kill the remaining S.T.A.R.S. due to their involvement in the "Mansion Incident."
|
| Jill, Carlos, Angie, and L.J. free Alice from Umbrella headquarters after the Raccoon City nuking.
| Jill and Carlos escape from Raccoon (with or without Barry's help, depending on the ending). Where they head is unknown, but it seems they still intend to meet up with Chris Redfield in Europe.
|
| Nicholai was a heroic, somewhat naive mercenary, eventually killed by two zombie dogs in the movie.
| Nicholai is a double crossing, secret Umbrella agent, who is either killed by Nemesis, escapes in a helicopter or is shot down in a helicopter by Jill depending on the players choices throughout the game.
|
| Nemesis is computer-controlled and can be programmed with commands remotely from a laptop.
| Nemesis is autonomous, and follows his pre-set commands to wipe out S.T.A.R.S.
|
| The S.T.A.R.S. team consists of at least 25 operatives during the Raccoon City incident. Members include Jill Valentine, Peyton Wells, Commander Ryan Henderson and other unnamed characters. Chris and Barry (and other character from the games besides Jill) are nowhere to be seen.
| The S.T.A.R.S. team first consists of 12 members (excluding pilot Kevin Dooley), divided into two separate teams which were Alpha and Bravo. During their investigations of the Mansion incident, most of the team was killed off and reduced to 5 members when they escaped (without taking Wesker's revival into account). During the events of Resident Evil 3, however, Brad Vickers, the pilot of Alpha Team, is killed by Nemesis in front of the R.P.D. Precinct.
