LET'S TALK ABOUT RESIDENT EVIL
Resident Evil was the most popular zombie movie among other films. How did I discover this movie? In fact, I've watched the 2nd series (Resident Evil: Apocalypse) first of this movie before I decided to watched the very beginning of this movie (Resident Evil I). It is because in that time, Resident Evil: Apocalypse was in the trend. After watching that I've burst my curiosity on how it was started so I gave an effort to find the Resident Evil I. From that, I started fascinating this movie until now. Why I was interested about this kind of movie? I was amazed about the story line of this movie in which there is a woman named Alice that has been used by a corporation (Umbrella Corporation) for an experiment in a zombie infected city together with his husband that has been turned into a monster named NEMESIS. The Infection spread through different countries. Alice was programmed but because she can control it, she decided to get rid off the Umbrella Corporation and helped other survivors to kill zombies with her own intelligence and skills. After many confrontations, Alice slowly discovered her own powers and strength. The Umbrella Corporation is still operating until now. This corporation made many ways in order to face the strength of Alice. They provided many clones of her but still they can't make a clone who is perfect as her. This corporation also made many headquarters throughout the world. This corporation is also responsible for the zombie apocalypse because of the creation of the T-Virus which causes people and animals to turn into a mindlessly killing machine. Because of Alice's exploration, she met people who turned as her comrades such as Jill Valentine, Carlos Olivera, Claire Redfield, Leon Kennedy and Ada Wong.
Resident Evil is a science fiction film series based on a CapCom video games of the same name. The first producer company who filmed this movie is the Constatin Film in January 1997 with Alan McElroy and George A. Romero. In 2001, Sony acquired a distribution rights to the film and hired Paul W. S. Anderson as writer and director of Resident Evil (2002). He continued his job and help created many series of this film. He wrote and produced the films, Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) and Resident Evil: Extinction (2007) and returned to be a director on Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010) and Resident Evil: Retribution (2012).
For me, it deserves to have a compliment for a movie like that. It has a realistic foes and the fight scenes are terribly awesome. The zombies there are different from a normal zombie movie. It provides us different kinds of infected beings such as the licker than came from an infected rabbit and demon dogs. It needs improvements because it was just starting in that time. The movie was effective for those who wanted a movie genre like this. This part serves as my boiling point to watch and wait for the succeeding series of this movie.
For me, the movie was highly improved from the beginning. It gives us a twist that Alice can somehow control her powers. The fighting scenes gone bad and intense. So much more fearsome enemies. The Umbrella Corporation provides to show the modernization of the world by using holograms, realistic machine-generated countries and much upgraded weapons. And to the story, it get me more interested. I was really happy to see again the characters who died from the past sequels like Rain and Carlos.

In this blog I will make a comparison between the first and the latest film series of Resident Evil; The Resident Evil and The Resident Evil: Retribution. On how it improved and how the story gone far from the very first time it was produced. But first I will talk about the Resident Evil. According to the article entitled, Resident Evil (2002) Movie Review by Nix,
For a big budget movie, the movie is lacking of WoW factor. But it has been good because of the appearance of the lickers and demon dogs and the dripping of bloods in the movie that needed a high knowledge in special effects. As we learned that this movie is based from a game, this movie doesn't used the plots of the real game but they included some part of it such as the T-virus, the Nemesis subplot, the characters design, the walls and corridors of some part and the noises produced by the approaching demon dogs. Since it was the first, it is not that quite beautiful but instead it leaves a twist in which it let us viewers to watch the next series of this movie.

For the review about the latest movie of Resident Evil. I've gathered and research for its reviews. Many considered it an excellent work but some people said that it was not that interesting to watch. According to an article entitled, Resident Evil: Retribution (Movie Review) by Eric Eisenberg,
The fifth movie was appealing for a core fan, but it has no excuse for other people who disregard this movie. And even the movie is created for the fans, it provides sloppy, awful, plot hole-filled storytelling. It suggested that if you want to start watching this movie, you should not watch this sequel first. But, start from the beginning in order to understand what is happening in the movie. In the article, it is also said that this movie is a poorly directed.
For me, the movie was highly improved from the beginning. It gives us a twist that Alice can somehow control her powers. The fighting scenes gone bad and intense. So much more fearsome enemies. The Umbrella Corporation provides to show the modernization of the world by using holograms, realistic machine-generated countries and much upgraded weapons. And to the story, it get me more interested. I was really happy to see again the characters who died from the past sequels like Rain and Carlos.
This movie provides us new knowledge about zombies and how it can affect earth if it gotten worse. We can also see that movie now are too far from the movies before. This movie is more than beautiful or interesting than other movies. So, I can conclude that I like this movie because I love zombies in the first place and I love watching intense fighting scenes specially when there are zombies included. I will just leave a quote that formulated by my own thoughts. "Fascinating zombies are not for crazy people, It is for the aware and future-based mind people".
