The Resident Evil Collection [DVD] [2011]

Execellent

Blu Ray Extras Review. Not a review of the movies as if you like them then I'm sure you'll buy this set as the price is amazing. Now for the ridiculously low price of £10.99 for 4 Blu Ray films I expected no extra features.. boy was I wrong so here they are listed for anyone who wants to know: Resident Evil: 2 Audio Commentaries 12 Featurettes Alternate Ending with Video Introduction by Director Music Video: Slipknot My Plague Previews Resident Evil: Apocalypse 3 Audio Commentaries 9 Featurettes over 2 sections 20 Deleted Scenes 4 Trailers (for other movies) Resident Evil: Extinction Audio Commentary 4 Featurettes 11 Deleted Scenes 4 Trailers (2 video game, 2 for other movies) Resident Evil Degeneration Trailer (Animated Movie) Under the Umbrella - Picture in Picture Experience Resident Evil: Afterlife Undead Vision - Picture in Picture Experience Audio Commentary 7 Featurettes 8 Extended / Deleted Scenes Outtakes Sneak Peak of Resident Evil: Damnation (Animation Movie) 5 Trailers (for other movies) A special extra bonus in my opinion is Sienna Guillory as Jill Valentine in 2 of the movies!!! Almost forgot to concentrate on the serious nature of the movies when she came on screen... ;o)

RESIDENT EVIL; ------------------------ A botched attempt to steal a very powerful virus sets of the automatic defences in a top secret underground facility known as The Hive, locking all employees inside. Directly above, Alice wakes up in a shower not knowing where she is or even who she is. Upon searching her room she finds, hidden in a locked drawer, guns, and lots of them. A few moments later she stumbles upon a tactical response team on a secret mission into The Hive to dispatch of the Red Queen... For a videogame-based movie, I must say I like it. I remember the first time I saw it I felt real skeptical because of the catastrophic attempt of videogame adaptations like Street Fighter, Super Mario Bros and others. The acting is good, at least compared to other action movies, and the special effects are overall also good. Being a zombie movie it contains a surprisingly small amount of blood and gore to which you get an explanation though, which makes it more interesting and thought through (the blood has coagulated in the undead bodies, ergo they don't bleed in the normal sense). The release was better than average, a big step up from the DVD, with sharp and crisp picture throughout and intense colours. 3 / 5 stars RESIDENT EVIL: Apocalypse ---------------------------------------- Continues directly after the first one where Alice once again wakes up not quite knowing where she is. After exiting the hospital she finds herself back in Raccoon City where the dead walks the streets... This sequel was a bit of a letdown. First of all the director tries too hard to make it look like the video game, with all from how the characters move to how they are dressed. This is particularily apparent in the case of Jill Valentine. Sure, it's fun to recognize a character from the game in the movie, but lines have to be drawn somewhere, and I think they crossed it by a mile. What works in a game may not work in a movie. I also thought the acting was below par. In some scenes I could almost feel how silly the actors felt, especially Ms. Guillory. On the plus side was the special effects which were way better than the first with much less apparent CGI. The picture was sharp, nice saturated colours with very little grain. Only problem was with the sound which was prone to distort during loud scenes. The recording volume seemed to be a bit on the high side, and the difference between the lows and the highs were quite extreme. Not a big problem but anyway. 2 / 5 stars RESIDENT EVIL: Extinction ------------------------------------- Five years after the Racoon City incident, the T-virus has spread around the world and humanity is on the verge of extinction. The only way of surviving is by constantly moving from place to place to avoid the undead. A small band of survivors, led by Claire Redfield, choose to make for Alaska where supposedly the virus hasn't reached yet... My favourite so far, better than both its predecessors. The special effects are better, the acton scenes more intense and the gunfights seem more realistic. And this time, when the zombies are shot there is blood, and quite alot too. It also felt as if the actors did a better job, especially Ali Larter who is a bit out of her element portraying a tough survivor. Regarding the release it was also excellent, best of the three first, and nicely balanced sound with great space and dynamics. 4 / 5 stars RESIDENT EVIL: Afterlife ---------------------------------- Another seven years later, Alice decides to take action against Umbrella in Japan, bringing her clones that she discovered in Extinction to help out. After all, one Alice is bad enough, and letting them fight 30 or more is truly devastating! Wesker escapes in an airplane, with the original Alice on board, but just when she is about to end his evil reign he sticks her with a syringe containing an antidote which strips away her special powers. Helpless against him without them she tries one last desperate thing... Paul W.S. Anderson is back in the directors chair for this sequel, both for the better and for the worse I think. He has a thing for slow-motion action sequences, a bit like Zak Snyder, and usually I think it's OK to use it in a small amount but I felt that certain scenes in this movie looked like they'd been copied from The Matrix. No new thinking at all which is a shame, as Anderson is most of the time an accomplished moviemaker. Apart from that, it's an entertaining 90 minutes with more gore than the previous ones and also, so far, the best special effects. In my opionion this is as good as the first movie. This was also the best release of them all, slightly better even than Extinction, with a really good surround mix, crisp picture and well-saturated colours. 3 / 5 stars All in all, I recommend it to fans of sci-fi action movies and considering its price, just buy it!

When I saw how much this set is going for just £10.50 for 4 movies I ordered it without hesitation. The first two films are 10/10 and the fourth one I would say is 8/10. The third film was dissapointing compared to the others and is the black sheep of the family - I would say that is 5/10. The best thing about the second film is that it stars Sienna Guillory who looks amazing and has serious Zombie ar*e kicking attitude! There has been a fifth film but it was truly awful - wasted 90 minutes of my life but fortunately that is not included in this set! So dont wait for them to do a box set including the fifth film because honestly you dont want to watch that one!

Simply the best of the zombie genre. All of the 4 movies in the boxed set are brilliant. The audio tracks are awesome on any decent cinema Dolby Digital system and really I didn't feel it needed Blue ray from the visual perspective. Alice is great, zombies are great and the evil Umbrella corp is...well...evil! I think the original film was a spin off from a computer game (that I have not played) which is probably an unusual way around but hey, who cares the films are great. The boxed set is worth every penny. If you like your zombie movies get the Resident Evil collection, & Dead Set, there are others but these two are must haves.

Following this collection enjoying all I must say that it really holds your interest full on with being different and entertaining. Storyline is fantastic but seems to go astray in some of the movies that followed. They are different and full on with twist and turns keeping you amused and some edge of the seat, with nail biting scenes. So I rated these movies an A grade plus for unusual and marvelous entertainment from beginning to end, Story based on a game series to which go from a deadly virus, walking dead, plus taking out a huge corporation know as umbrella which is pure evil. Some heart pounding tension in all movies. Cast are fabulous and perform that makes you feel involved as well. So now go and get the popcorn and try and relax to these nerve tremors that rock the body at every turn when another scene comes forward not knowing what's next. Enjoy!

Come da oggetto il prezzo per questo articolo (15 euro per 4 BRD) è assolutamente impareggiabile. Peccato solo che uno dei 4 film non abbia ne' audio ne' sottotitoli in italiano ma se questo aspetto non è un problema il rapporto costo/BRD è assolutamente eccezionale.

I wont defend these movies for being bad, but they're bad in the fun way (for me that is). I sat down with a couple of friends, made a drinking game out of the movies, and honestly had a blast. If you take the movies for what they are, dumb fun (and i mean duuumb) they're enjoyable. If you love the game series and are expecting the quality of the games or even the seriousness of them, you are walking into disapointment. Best way to think about it, bad movies, but pretty good for a video game movie. Also note that they are UK discs, but my PS3 had no issues with any of the discs, but if you have a normal blu ray player, you might want to double check and see if it can play UK movies or not, just a heads up.

no se ve exactamente como en la foto Esta muy padre la edicion, recomendable, llego rapido conforme a pedido, me gusto bastante y a muy buen precio, estoy satisfecho con lo que pague por el.

Este pack es perfecto para los que tienen la peli 1 y la 3 en castellano como es mi caso, aún así por unos 10-12 euros te puedes llevar el pack completo y hacer un custown para meter la uno y la tres dentro del pack, y así tenerlas todas en castellano, ya que la 2 y la 4 vienen en perfecto castellano
