Alice is the opposite of Jesus Chris in this movies. Think about it: Whereas JC died so that everyone else may be saved, everyone dies in these movies so that Alice may be saved.
I love how Anderson Carlos completely saw LJ getting bitten at 5:45 and besides LJ, he also wasn't able to tell anyone he's infected. Great move there Carlos. And it all pays off at the end where he gets bitten and sacrificed himself.
Rewatching these reviews in light of the Corona virus-- I'd say it'd take around three weeks for society to completely collapse once the delivery men are infected. And the toilet paper's gone.
RE3 Extinction was the last RE movie me and my best friend went to see in theaters. It began and ended just ridicules. Having the T-virus destroy the world was a terrible wrong path to take the movies. After the movie was over me and my friend seriously thought how stupid it was that Alice now has a clone army of herself. Clones were never even a thing in RE games. Also why is Alaska the only place in the world that has an ocean. How is that even possible?
PhoenixSword24 still just as stupid. How did the virus do that ? Evaporate them and just never made it rain in those areas anymore? I guess cause the director also has a thing with the movies Tank girl and Mad Max
Honestly, this was the worst movie of the series, in my opinion, because they went too far. They explain that the T-Virus has reached all corners of the globe, and somehow that means that the oceans dried up, making the cities dry, barren deserts. Basically, the world and human life has been fucked, the T-Virus has pretty much won, but....for SOME REASON, Umbrella still thinks it can be more evil than it was before. They accomplished more than any other super villain organization ever has, but they STILL think they haven't gone far enough? There isn't even civilization anymore, so what is the purpose? The creators just set this movie to fail, because everything was already lost, there's nothing to fight for. You could argue there are groups of humans surviving, but when oceans dry up, supposedly due to the virus, then they're royally boned.
Maybe that's why in next movie Anderson tried to semi-retcon the whole oceans drying up as for what ever reason Alaska is shown to be completely unaffected.
Actually, the whole "T-Virus Wins" shit was never even part of the games! In 'Resident Evil 3: Nemesis', the T-Virus was contained! So to make the whole "T-Virus Wins" plot work, they had to sever ties with the games! If that's not a blatant case of In-Name Only syndrome, then I don't know what is! SCREW YOU, ANDERSON!!!
I know every movie gets this wrong but I love how in this movie...with Zombies chasing them and all the water is dried up...the girls still all have perfect white teeth, shaved legs and armpits and perfect hair. I guess you still have to look good even if the world is ending
Mary Sue is a term that describes a flawless character that's overpowered, liked by all, and has no difficulty facing obstacles ( Ex: Alice facing Issacs in this). Basically perfect in every sense of the word.
In the game. With the movies you would have to take it EVERY DAY or you become a zombie. I.e: Angela Ashford. Carlos should have turned shortly after Raccoon City. (Plothole!)
Phoenixsword24 It's been ages since I've watched Apocalypse, but didn't they sort of handwave explain Angela's (was that her name??) need to keep taking the anti virus due to her also getting regular injections with the T-virus?? Like a sort of balancing act thing: Get the regenerative benefits of the virus, but without the nasty side effect of becoming the flesh eating undead. At least I think I saw vials in her suitcase thingy with T-virus (blue = bad, green = good; colour coded virus and anti-virus ftw!). It does beg the question as to how she stayed non-zombified or able to walk afterwards, since I doubt they would have had an easy time getting hold of more T-virus and its anti-virus, when Angela's supply eventually runs out. Maybe that's what did her in, preventing her from returning in Extinction, although that probably would have made way too much sense for that to fly in these movies. After all; nonsensical plot holes are the main staple of this franchise:S.
*Nekhet+* If you look at Angela's case, it's all Anti-Virus. They explain that Angela carries the Anti-Virus with her to counteract the side effects of the T-Virus that allowed her to walk. Once your infected, you stay infected. **wave hand** Plotholes! :3 According to the book, Alice killed Angela while being controlled by Umbrella's satellite. Ps. It was the T-Virus that was green in the games. But they change it to blue... And make the Anti-Virus green like the T-Virus originally was. **facepalm**
Phoenixsword24 So all the vials in the case were green?? Huh, thought half of them were blue:S. Well, then I guess I applied more logic to the movie than the actual writers did, and I haven't watched it in at least ten years, as evident by my faulty recollection of the contents of Angela's suitcase. So how did she survive afterwards then, when the anti virus eventually ran out?? Or did Alice kill her before that happened?? Also; there's a freaking book based on the LA movies?? And it actually let Alice commit a non-Mary Sue action (albeit under mindcontrol but still)?? O.O And I didn't know the virus and anti-virus had the opposite colourscheme compared to the movies (only played RE4 and RE5 and watched a few LP's of some of the other games, so my knowledge about them is fairly limited:S). It seems like an incredibly nonsensical change to make, why not keep the same colours?? Weird.
*Nekhet+* You must have been thinking of the first movie where Spence stole the T and Anti-Virus. Yes, there are five books. Though I've only read the beginning of RE1 (Genesis) and RE2 (Apocalypse). Though the books skip Afterlife. **facepalm** And they state in "The final chapter" book ver.that the Red Queen and white Queen were the same AI, just different hologrames. **facepalm** If you want to read GOOD RE novels, read the resident evil series by S.D Perry. (My favorite is "City of the dead" based on RE2) There is no REAL Anti-Virus in the games, though in RE3, Jill gets infected by Nemesis, so Carlos makes a "vaccine" for Jill, which is purple. (kinda like the G-Virus, but that's a different story) It's because of the vaccine that Jill is alive in RE5. It didn't erase the virus, just put it to rest. 11 years later, Jill was in Cryosleep, which woke the T cells. But, because it was in her body for over 10 years, she developed antibodies for it and most other poisons. The device on her chest injected her with P30, which gave superhuman abilites and obedience, but was VERY poisonous. But Wesker put it on her because she could survive the poison. RE5: 11 years in the making. ;p Yeah, I'm kind of a pro on Resident Evil. B)
large bodies of water- dried up, jungles- deserts, civilization - dissolved : but post apocalyptic movies will be DAMNED if they have a group of women in their movie who don't have perfect hair, make up and non existent body hair.
SpeedyEric1 That may be the most sensible uses of that reference I've seen thus far. Also the most sensible thing one can do with this movie, but that SHOULD go without saying.
stlouisrocker100 🎶 I'm gonna make you bend and break(It sent you to me without wait) Say a prayer, but let the good times roll! 🎵 🎤 In case God doesn't shoooow! (Let the good times roll, let the times roll) Oh! It wasn't about Fall out Boy? Ooops. 😁
I always love the apocalyptic movies where the main characters have: perfect skin, teeth, hair, nails. I mean just because the world is ending doesn't mean you should not continue to look your best.
T-virus was only air borne at the start of the first movie in the hive. The doctor in the end of the movie before this infected himself trying to make himself able to walk.
"How long does society take to devolve into this state" (or words to that effect) As someone who has been in more than one regional emergency- About two weeks after the lights go out.
fluffimator I think that as chaotic as it would become small groups would reorganize, and these groups will make villages and small cities, living in conditions humanity doesn't really know anymore...Today most people are fed, housed and live peacefully (there's notable exceptions but for most part we overcame famines, plagues and such horrible things that always kept humanity under the billion inhabitants) But that's a worst case scenario for the real world! This movie, as bad as it is, is indirectly aknowledging the fact that there's nothing worth living for anymore since everything and everyone is dead! Anderson's hillbillies characters are more lucid about the fact that there's nothing left and that this movie should have been the last... 😁
What if they found K-Mart in J.C Penny? Would they call her Penny? (-_-)... That would be a better name. (I love K-Mart though. I actually have a theory that she's Sherry Birkin. At least, the movie version. Plus, I know in the books her name is Dahlia... But that name sucks.) *plays Silent Hill 1 scene with Dahlia talking about the end is nigh*
Came out in 2007 when I was 12, I had grown up watching these movies having loved part 1 and liked part 2 some, and at the time had played 2 on n64 and 4 on gamecube so I happily watched this with my mom when it was new. Even at 12 years old I asked myself wtf this had to do with resident evil besides dropping some familiar names 😂
You think if the movie series was called something else like "The Mary-sue Adventures of Alice" and drop the Resident Evil assets (Dropping the names and maybe creature designs) you think it would've been a decent film franshise?
Not so fun fact: the real reason for the desert thing was because Paul Anderson showed Mila's younger brother the Mad Max Films and was like " I could do that..but with Resident Evil!" Or so he said in the commentary
I agree. If it didn't refer to itself as Resident Evil and toned down the Alice factor, these would have been perfectly harmless time wasters which answer to their own terms.
How does Umbrella still have shareholders? If humanity is on the verge of extinction, then there sure as hell aren't going to be any active companies or economy in general. And what is the purpose of the White Queen? The character serves no purpose here and never appears again after this movie. It's too bad Wesker decided not to use her when the Red Queen took over in Retribution. She's the same computer system as the Red Queen, only good, so she could have certainly helped humanity. Oh wait, it's like Phelous said. The movies want us to forget about continuity. Now it all makes sense. Oh wait...
I have one giant issue with the zombie apocalypse genre as a whole the genre hinges on one thing humans suddenly being far less effective as killing things than we are something like a slow moving zombie horde would not last very long.
It's funny seeing how hard they wrote themselves into a corner with this film. It's even funnier how hard they ignore a LOT of this film until Iain Glen gets that Game of Thrones bump and they have to revisit stuff from this... barely, in the final film.
It was a mistake killing off Carlos like that. Carlos was a cool character in Biohazard 3 Last Escape, and for Paul Anderson to treat him like that is just really stupid. Actually, killing off legacy characters in his movies IS stupid.
Shouldn't Carlos be immune to the T Virus? This is the secodn time he's been bitten. I would expect there to be some type of immunity to it. I mean Jill, Sherry Birkin and Wesker all survived it.
Hey Phelous, I know it's been nearly a decade since you uploaded this to youtube, but do you remember the name of the song used in the credits? I tried searching "resident evil gaiden prologue orchestra remix" as you listed it in the credits but nothing came up.
@@phelous Hey thanks for responding! Would it be possible for you to upload or link it to be downloaded somewhere? If it's private I totally understand. Either way, thanks for continuing to make your videos, they always feel authentic and have been entertaining me for many years!
For posterity's sake: In the original Blip version of this review, Phelous played "Mahna Mahna" during the Alice clone sequence. I imagine he switched to the seventies Canadian A&W commercial theme in this version both because of copyright concerns and because that's a theme he likes to use now whenever someone is doing something dumb.
every time you do the "self destruction system has been activated" thing i always think of "the ship will automatically destruct in t-minus 10 minutes" from Alien
You know what sucks most about these shitty movies? People like Ali Larter and Seinna Guillory are actually pretty great choices for Claire & Jill. But we get these horrendous movies that do nothing but actively piss off fans by including references casual viewers won't even understand. Like the Silent Hill movies, I have to ask: Who the fuck is this made for? Not fans of the games, that's for sure. Who knew in 2022 we would look back at these garbage Paul W. S. Anderson films and think: Wow it's never going to get better then this...
Hi, Phelous, Even by yourself, you're a lot of fun, and have spared me from sitting through another nonsense movie, without riffs. Wish I could send you a "Captain Whiskers" t-shirt from Incognito Cinema Warriors, but they sold out fast.
ah these movies have moved from being bad to actually making me angry by the terrible overuse of bloody Alice, they may as well now they have clones and all not even have any other actors in the next movie. Though I suppose at least if there are clone Alices then some of them are gonna have to mess up and be killed in the next movie.
Wasn't there another one? I recall somethin' about a prison or... airplane... some cargo ship... Wesker having glowing red eyes or some such... guy barely surviving in a sewer drain... Pyramid Head smackin' against a gate with a hammer... Alice using quarters as shotgun ammo...
+Saroe Yup, this was just the last one out at the time that I had done these reviews on the 1st 3. I reviewed the other 2 as well now: ua-cam.com/video/X3GRmv6HUp4/v-deo.html
2:42 Oh No! The T-Virus has turned into a Captain Planet villain! :O 8:35 Yes, 'cause Alice wasn't already enough of a Mary-Sue ripping off Jason Bourne and Mad Max. Let's have her rip-off Jean Grey and Neo from the Matrix for Maximum Ill-Conceived Bad-Assery.
They really should just rename the movies to "Paul W.S. Anderson presents: Look how cool my wife is...really!"
The Resident Evil film series, or perhaps better to be called "The Chronicles of Paul W.S. Anderson's Wife"! >__
“Rob Zombie’s: Look how hot my wife is”
I always assumed the "whole world's a desert" thing was Alice just being dumb. "Derrr, I'm in a desert, the whole world must be like this now!"
Sounds about right to me. XD
Radagast sounds right.
Radagast so it can wither ANYWHERE but not a city in a cold place, LOGIC
You're giving it too much credit.
Lmao
Okay cloning Alice doesn’t make any sense but look at it this way phelous
Alice died multiple times
oooooo so it's heaven?
Alice is the opposite of Jesus Chris in this movies.
Think about it: Whereas JC died so that everyone else may be saved, everyone dies in these movies so that Alice may be saved.
Mmm yeah 😅
Those Windows Shutdown and Startup sound effects over the Alice "Shut her down!" scene made me laugh more than LJ's crappy dialogue did 😂
The death of Johnny Cage is one of my favorite of Phelous' jokes. It always cracks me up
I love how Anderson Carlos completely saw LJ getting bitten at 5:45 and besides LJ, he also wasn't able to tell anyone he's infected. Great move there Carlos. And it all pays off at the end where he gets bitten and sacrificed himself.
Wow, Jorah's grayscale turned him into a telekinetic tentacle monster.
I too love listening to sonic cd japanese palmtree panic zone whenever Alice dies :D
Even if they wanted the clones to really think they were the real Alice, wouldn't it make more sense to make an Alice with no free will?
Nah, it would make too sense...
Yeah Umberella in the movies seems to not have a logical plan

PhoenixSword24 still just as stupid. How did the virus do that ? Evaporate them and just never made it rain in those areas anymore? I guess cause the director also has a thing with the movies Tank girl and Mad Max

Haha, great point! Wtf is Umbrella's motivation anymore..?
Lakes dried up, not oceans.
for me it's the final chapter
so many flaws
and they killed off Ruby Rose
Maybe that's why in next movie Anderson tried to semi-retcon the whole oceans drying up as for what ever reason Alaska is shown to be completely unaffected.
Actually, the whole "T-Virus Wins" shit was never even part of the games! In 'Resident Evil 3: Nemesis', the T-Virus was contained!

Gotta love how clones come pre-shaved.
Don't forget, K-Mart is wearing make up, because shes gotta look good for those zombies.
Those damn post-apocalyptic beauty standards smh
I think that the T Virus just made them all brain dead stupid and the oceans didn’t actually dried up
Hey, don't knock it! It's now or never! Gotta look good sometime! >_>
These movies are just one huge Mary Sue fanfic
Yep.
+Hromovlad1 Exactifuckingmundo!
Hromovlad1 hell, it wishes it were a fanfic.
Sorry if I sound stupid; but what does Mary Sue mean?
Mary Sue is a term that describes a flawless character that's overpowered, liked by all, and has no difficulty facing obstacles ( Ex: Alice facing Issacs in this). Basically perfect in every sense of the word.
The crate must also be a tardis-- that's how they fit so many zombies inside.
I always forget about the A+ use of Windows shutdown/startup sounds in this review. Cracks me up every time.
Another mistake: Didn't Carlos inject the T Virus vaccine in the second movie? That should have made him invulnerable to the virus.
In the game. With the movies you would have to take it EVERY DAY or you become a zombie. I.e: Angela Ashford.
Carlos should have turned shortly after Raccoon City. (Plothole!)
Phoenixsword24 It's been ages since I've watched Apocalypse, but didn't they sort of handwave explain Angela's (was that her name??) need to keep taking the anti virus due to her also getting regular injections with the T-virus??

Wow, Jorah Mormont was kind of an asshole before he joined Daenerys Targaryen.
These movies are a prequel to GoT. Jorah brought the T-Virus to Westeros where people started calling it Greyscale.

No thanks. I've already seen their version of Beauty and the Beast.

Not a great movie, but miles better than this tripe.
You wouldn't be hated, because that is a fact.

SpeedyEric1 I didn't think salvation wasn't that bad.
Another masterful commentary. Looking forward to your Afterlife.
The way you worded that, it sounds like you want him to die.

This really is a timeless thing that happens, since I had to check the date to see if this was from the 2020 Covid-19 quarantine.
When I see Ali Larter playing a character named Clair, I don't think Resident Evil, I think Final Destination.
It’s Clear in FD
😂😂😂😂...the T Virus resurrected her. But wait Ali Larter is in Heroes too. She plays twin sisters.
Resident Evil 1 came in 2002 and The Room in 2003...was Alice dress the Lisa dress?
You're tearing me apart Alice!!

I keep saying she was lucky not have been found on Hooters
They may have been going for that ever expanding market of department store fetishists that would think "Wow, I'd really like to fuck K-Mart".
PhoenixSword24 what if she was found in walmart or dollar general
Wha- Dahlia is a great name!?😂 No, it's not my name... it's one of my _Sims'_ name.

Phelan Porteous I thought so.
Fuck no, It's just waaaay too poorly written & executed.
Dustin Ethridge I said decent, not amazing.
Lol
Post Apocalyptic Hill Billies sounds like a great Beverly Hillbillies spoof. You should film that.
"My name's Rest Stop." ... " That's where they found me..."
A resident evil could be like a mixture of saw, a haunted house movie, with zombies and monsters
Could have been the greatest movie of all time
Now I remember why I hated this one, it s just a bad Day of The dead with the Resident Evil name onto it.
I love the silly music and sounds you add in these reviews
You really have to appreciate how much they tried to piss you off by shitting on the story.
Phelous: It could've been worse. I guess they could've found her in a bathroom.
Me: or at Hooters. XD
looks like the maker of this movie took the phrase "if you want something done right you have to do it yourself" a little too literally. XD
OH WHAT A JILL SANDWICH, WHAT A LOVELY JILLSANDWICH!!!!!
Alice so narcissistic by having herself save herself...what?
I could see Kanye West making a movie where his wife Kim is saved by Kim.
Surprising fact this movie was directed by the guy that did Highlander end razorback how the mighty have fallen
This was like a bad Mad Mad Resident Evil crossover with and OP Mary Sue to boot
"Must've been a crow or something.."
Hhoooooh my God.
Not so fun fact: the real reason for the desert thing was because Paul Anderson showed Mila's younger brother the Mad Max Films and was like " I could do that..but with Resident Evil!"
Or so he said in the commentary
I wonder if they just wanted to make a Fallout movie, but were under contract, so they just turned Resident Evil into Resident Fallout.
9:00 could have been worse. They could have found her at Seamans
If these had been stand alone films they would have been ok. Well the first two could have.
I agree. If it didn't refer to itself as Resident Evil and toned down the Alice factor, these would have been perfectly harmless time wasters which answer to their own terms.
How does Umbrella still have shareholders? If humanity is on the verge of extinction, then there sure as hell aren't going to be any active companies or economy in general.

Little did we know, Alice eventually went on to become the successor of Hokuto Shinken
Jill and Alice sandwich, yum!

It's funny seeing how hard they wrote themselves into a corner with this film. It's even funnier how hard they ignore a LOT of this film until Iain Glen gets that Game of Thrones bump and they have to revisit stuff from this... barely, in the final film.
It was a mistake killing off Carlos like that. Carlos was a cool character in Biohazard 3 Last Escape, and for Paul Anderson to treat him like that is just really stupid. Actually, killing off legacy characters in his movies IS stupid.
this is actually of one of my favorite zombie films of all time
Phelous, did you ever see that one scene where Carlos is talking, and there are cars on the highway in the background?
Shouldn't Carlos be immune to the T Virus? This is the secodn time he's been bitten. I would expect there to be some type of immunity to it. I mean Jill, Sherry Birkin and Wesker all survived it.
Another great video, Phelan.
I wish the comments would load quicker.
14:10 Why the fuck didn't he just do THAT to Alice at 15:53??!! ...Oh I forgot, Alice is God! -_-
Hey Phelous, I know it's been nearly a decade since you uploaded this to youtube, but do you remember the name of the song used in the credits? I tried searching "resident evil gaiden prologue orchestra remix" as you listed it in the credits but nothing came up.
It was composed for me and these videos.
@@phelous Hey thanks for responding! Would it be possible for you to upload or link it to be downloaded somewhere? If it's private I totally understand.
Either way, thanks for continuing to make your videos, they always feel authentic and have been entertaining me for many years!
For posterity's sake: In the original Blip version of this review, Phelous played "Mahna Mahna" during the Alice clone sequence.
I imagine he switched to the seventies Canadian A&W commercial theme in this version both because of copyright concerns and because that's a theme he likes to use now whenever someone is doing something dumb.
So zombies ate all the plant life too... Those darn vegetarian zombies, I knew they were up to no good!
Any plans to review Resident Evil: The Final Chapter upon its release Phelous??
Super Duper Mega Ultra Alice: Extinction
ManENames lol
Oh! Perfect joke opportunity!
13.20-13.27: Isaacs: "Fucking Windows 98!"
Maybe the shipping container full of zombies was an umbrella tardis
Are you going to review the final Resident Evil movie? Though knowing Anderson he'll try to squeeze a sequel out of it somehow.
I watched this in the theater with my girlfriend back in the day and we had fun. This was the last movie we had fun watching.
Alice is the worst kind of Mary sue
Mad Max Fury Road shows how you do a movie in a desert...AND IT.WAS.GLORIOUS.
Seriously,go watch Fury Road now...
Dude I loved this!
For a second, I mistook Wesker for Eminem.
Wait is Alice meant to be a GOD?...... A super Saiyan?!

I am soo looking forward to the next Resident Evil movie. Not because its gonna be good, but because there will be a new video about it here ;-)
10:52 Dr Isaacs... The UA-cam Pooper. Nice.
i love your reviews :D
03:36 I swear to god that creppy looking grandma looks like a reincarnation of Anne Ramsey / Mama Fratelli.
So Alice's blood is the cure for a disease that creates zombies? Wow, now they're shamelessly ripping off The Omega Man.
"... Resident Evil movie trilogy..." Oh, Barrylous, you poor character. You had no idea what was coming.
If two Alice clones where to fight, would one of them be able to lose or would the universe just explode due to a paradox
every time you do the "self destruction system has been activated" thing i always think of "the ship will automatically destruct in t-minus 10 minutes" from Alien
Her heart didn't stop. However it ALMOST did which knocked the breath out of her.
16:59 so his name is Dr.J Isaacs, wasn’t it something different in last chapter
12:49 Dramatic $500 sunglasses falling
You know what sucks most about these shitty movies? People like Ali Larter and Seinna Guillory are actually pretty great choices for Claire & Jill. But we get these horrendous movies that do nothing but actively piss off fans by including references casual viewers won't even understand. Like the Silent Hill movies, I have to ask: Who the fuck is this made for? Not fans of the games, that's for sure.
Who knew in 2022 we would look back at these garbage Paul W. S. Anderson films and think: Wow it's never going to get better then this...
[5:40] Eeeeehm... Yes, you can mistake a mirror image for real life, because the "resolution" of a mirror is actually much higher than HD. ;-P
Hi, Phelous,
Even by yourself, you're a lot of fun, and have spared me from sitting through another nonsense movie, without riffs. Wish I could send you a "Captain Whiskers" t-shirt from Incognito Cinema Warriors, but they sold out fast.
ah these movies have moved from being bad to actually making me angry by the terrible overuse of bloody Alice, they may as well now they have clones and all not even have any other actors in the next movie. Though I suppose at least if there are clone Alices then some of them are gonna have to mess up and be killed in the next movie.
Wasn't there another one? I recall somethin' about a prison or... airplane... some cargo ship... Wesker having glowing red eyes or some such... guy barely surviving in a sewer drain... Pyramid Head smackin' against a gate with a hammer... Alice using quarters as shotgun ammo...
+Saroe Yup, this was just the last one out at the time that I had done these reviews on the 1st 3. I reviewed the other 2 as well now:
ua-cam.com/video/X3GRmv6HUp4/v-deo.html
Phelan Porteous Thank you for the link! Didn't realize you had a playlist set up :3
2:42 Oh No! The T-Virus has turned into a Captain Planet villain! :O
8:35 Yes, 'cause Alice wasn't already enough of a Mary-Sue ripping off Jason Bourne and Mad Max. Let's have her rip-off Jean Grey and Neo from the Matrix for Maximum Ill-Conceived Bad-Assery.
I really want to know the name of that song playing at the credit. It is not listed.
Fantastic review, especially the Johnny Cage part !
That country music used at the beginning of the review to show Alice's clueless nature was hilarious. What song is that?
Alice the mary-sue vs clones. That's what these films should be called
Hahahahaha Love the use of Crono Trigger for the dead world
The movies was the beginning of the end for RE Survival horror.
