(TV SERIES) Resident Evil Season 1 - Despite Major Alterations, Still Interesting Series of the Fight Against Zombies & Umbrella Corporations in Resident Evil Universe

I almost missed out on this series and only realized it a day after its release. But as I was finishing up another series earlier, I just started it on Friday night and completed it yesterday. It was based on popular video games and have been adapted into several movies in the past which I liked. OK, will go straight to it now.

Brief Story Line

Story was set in two "timelines" with the present year 2036 where the T-virus have spread all over the world infecting billions of people who became zombies and the year 2022 before it happened. In the present, Jade Wesker (Ella Balinska - Charlie's Angels 2019 version etc) was looking for clues and ways for humans to co-exist with the zombies, while being hunted by the Umbrella Corporation led by Evelyn Marcus (Paola Núñez - Bad Boys for Life etc).

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City - A Reboot of the Resident Evil Franchise

This movie was just released in Indonesian cinemas yesterday. Unlike our past habit to wait till the weekend to see, we decided to do it yesterday. It played in many theaters including the one that was located very near our home. Well let's get to the details now.

Brief Story Line

Claire Redfield (Kaya Scodelario - Crawl, Spinning Out TV series etc) returned back to her hometown Raccoon city in 1998 to meet with her older brother Chris (Robbie Amell - Desperados, Upload TV series etc) as she suspected something was happening there related to the Umbrella Corporation. Chris was working with the police department together with fellow officers such as Jill Valentine (Hannah John-Kamen - Ant-man and the Wasp, The Stranger TV series etc), Wesker (Tom Hopper - Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard, Blak Sails TV series etc), the rookie cop Leon (Avan Jogia - Ghost Wars TV series etc) and few others under captain Irons (Donal Lugue - Gotham TV series etc).

Resident Evil: Vendetta - A Very Cool CG Animated Movie Based on the Popular Video Game

I was intrigued about this movie when I saw the poster in the coming soon section of 2 cinema websites in Indonesia. At first I thought it was another sequel to Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, but when I read it a bit more, I realized it had got nothing to do with that movie. Anyway the movie premiered in some Indonesian cinemas starting from Saturday. As I was having another weekend staycation with my wife on Saturday, I only went to the cinema today after we checked out from the hotel. My wife was having various things to do at the time, and hence I watched this movie by myself in Plaza FX. Ok, I will proceed to the movie now.

Brief Story Line

Chris Redfield (voiced by Kevin Dorman) was a member of BSAA, an elite unit specializing in killing the undead/zombies. He was given the task along with special forces from another unit to capture the notorious weapons dealer named Glenn Arias (voiced by Alexander Polinsky - Charles in Charge TV series). Though the mission was not successful, Chris did manage to find out that Arias was working on a new kind of virus to create the undeads.

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter - Or is it???

Resident Evil has been 1 of my quite favorite action movie with the war between human and zombies. So when I heard there was going to be another movie in the "series", I did not hesitate to decide in seeing this one when it premiered yesterday. As usual, for a weekday movie premiere, my wife was kind enough to spare some time to buy the tickets for me (thx honey). The time was 7 PM and it was in Lotte Avenue with the Dolby Surround 11.1 system which would quench my thirst for a good sound system when watching this kind of movie in theater. After having our light dinner, we arrived at the studio at almost the start of the movie.

Brief Story Line

Movie started with few minutes of background story of how the zombies were created, which kind of summed up the entire 5 previous Resident Evil series and continued with our main protagonist Alice (Milla Jovovich - Ultraviolet, The Three Musketeers etc) who arrived at Washington DC only to find out that there was no one to save. After fighting off a very large monster, Alice reached an Umbrella corporation old office where the computer was switched on, and the Red Queen (the hologram of young Alice) informed Alice that the cure to the T-Virus was already created. She convinced Alice that the cure should be acquired in 48 hours otherwise it would be released only to the Umbrella Corporation executives. The location of the cure was none other than the underground headquarters called the Hive in Raccoon City where it all started.
