In a year trajectory, six films have already been released, with the seventh about to be released in late Learn a little more about this timeline and each film in this article. The game's story follows the protagonists in their fight against the Umbrella Corporation, a company that produces biological weapons, and responsible for the spread of the T-Virus, which turns people into zombies. The films follow the protagonist Alice, created for the platform, and played by actress Milla Jovovich The Fifth Element.
Despite all this success, the films are not very faithful to the original game, it is just an adaptation based on the universe created in Resident Evil. See more information about each of the Resident Evil films contains spoilers! Released in , written and directed by Paul WS Anderson, the Cursed Guest was the one who opened the way among the various Resident Evil films we have today.
This is the name of Umbrella's secret laboratory where genetic research is carried out. And that is where the T-Virus spreads, and all employees are infected and killed. I mean, half dead. They turn into zombies and can infect other people with just one bite. Alice is totally out of memory, and is called in to investigate the situation, and take control.
Assisted by Rain OCampo Michelle Rodriguez , she has three hours to resolve everything and turn off the system of the place, called Red Queen. The release of the film was a disappointment for many critics and fans, who expected a more faithful story, or the appearance of their favorite characters. Despite everything, it had a good collection. And the sequel was already coming around. Released in , still scripted by Paul WS Anderson, the film begins in the same way that the first one ends: the city of Racoon City being infested by the zombies created by the T-Virus.
With the spread of the virus among people, Umbrella surrounds the city, preventing people from entering or leaving it. Alice had been captured by Umbrella and went through experiments and had her genes modified, acquiring superpowers. She joins a group of survivors, led by Jill Valentine Sienna Guillory - one of the main characters in the games - and Carlos Oliveira Oded Fehr - who also appears in the games. Together, they look for a way to escape this apocalyptic scenario.
This film also introduces Nemesis, a bio-organic weapon, another of Umbrella's experiments. Nemesis is one of the most beloved villains in the series. The production of Apocalipse started already in , after commercial success of the first film. The bet was well made and the film raised more than its predecessor. Screenwriter Paul Anderson once again scripted the film, but gave up the direction, as he was involved with another production Alien vs.
In history, a few years have passed, and now the world is infested with the T-Virus, with few survivors left. Claire is the protagonist of the game Resident Evil: Revelations 2. As for Umbrella, she is doing new experiments and creating clones of Alice, trying to reproduce her. It turns out that Alice's blood could reveal a cure for the T-Virus.
The convoy of survivors heads towards Alaska, where it is believed to have a safe area called Arcadia. The script, once again, was in charge of Paul Anderson, and the direction passed to Russell Mulcahy hitherto famous for making music video directions. And the criticism, again, was extremely harsh, but the collection only increased.
The fourth film in the Resident Evil franchise takes place in Tokyo, Japan. In this film, another important character from games is introduced: Chris Redfield. Chris is Claire's brother.
Animated film set in the Resident Evil video-game universe not the live-action film universe. Leon S. Kennedy goes against his superior's orders and works to destroy a series of biological weapons being used in a war zone in Europe. In a world ravaged by a virus infection that turns its victims into the undead, Alice Milla Jovovich continues on her journey to find survivors and lead them to safety, while her deadly battle with the Umbrella Corporation reaches new heights.
We leave Alice and co. But Umbrella troops are on their way, led by Jill Valentine, making a surprise return under the influence of one of those spider things.
When Jill and her Umbrella troops arrive at Arcadia, they kill most of the survivors and capture Alice — leaving the fates of Chris and Claire unknown.
From there, the largely baffling Retribution takes place in an underwater facility in Russia, but much of the action happens in VR environments designed to simulate zombie outbreak scenarios in Tokyo, Moscow, and Raccoon City. Several characters from previous films come back as clones — and sometimes multiple versions of those clones — so we get to reconnect with One Colin Salmon , Rain Michelle Rodriguez and Carlos Oded Fehr.
The gist here is that The Red Queen is running the facility and is now evil. In the first film her actions had been an emotionless but logical attempt to prevent an outbreak by sealing Umbrella's infected employees in The Hive to die.
Now she wants to destroy humanity for reasons that aren't exactly clear. Umbrella-controlled Jill is therefore the primary antagonist here, until Alice gets the spider off her and returns her to normal.
Our surviving heroes visit Wesker in his new HQ in the White House, where Wesker injects Alice with T-Virus again, bringing back her superpowers the better to save the world.
We leave them on the White House roof with millions of zombies converging on the lawn and down Pennsylvania Avenue It plays in reverse, pre-empting Tenet by nearly a decade. Remember everything that happened across the last few films? Well, prepare for some major retconning.
In spite of what we saw, we're told Alice didn't get her powers back after all, and that Wesker faked the whole episode. The Red Queen is a good guy now, and appears to Alice to tell her that she needs to get back to The Hive in Raccoon City, where there's a new airborne anti-virus that can save humanity. There's a story-so-far recap that bears absolutely no resemblance to the actual story-so-far.
It's quite something. Iain Glen is back as Dr. Isaacs, because it turns out the previous one was a clone. In a re-write of the Angela Ashford business we learned in Apocalypse , we're now told that Isaacs was the business partner of Umbrella founder Alexander Marcus , and the T-Virus was created as a treatment for Marcus' own sick daughter Alicia. Isaacs had Marcus killed by Wesker and adopted Alicia. Umbrella, with Wesker at the helm again, is now simply waiting out humanity's demise so that they can reboot the world on Umbrella terms.
The Red Queen — who Isaacs now created, based on Alicia — can't simply kill Wesker because she apparently can't kill Umbrella employees This leads to a moment nicked from Robocop where Wesker gets fired to make him killable. Alice reconnects with Claire Redfield and a new band of scrappy survivors including Ruby Rose , and they all re-enter The Hive, which is accessed via the bomb crater resulting from the second film's Umbrella nuke. They battle zombie dogs and traps, and eventually Alice reaches the cryogenic capsule containing Alicia Marcus.
At this point, we learn that Alice has been a clone of Alicia all along. And speaking of clones, another clone of Isaacs who thinks he's the real Isaacs kills the real Isaacs, and is then set upon by zombies. Wesker blows up The Hive with everyone in it, including himself.
But the anti-virus is released, Claire and Alice survive, and The Red Queen uploads Alicia's memories into Alice's brain, supposedly bringing us full circle. Alice, who you might remember woke up in the first film with no memory, is now fully restored, despite that restoration largely contradicting what we learned about Alice 15 years ago.
We bid her a final farewell as she prepares to carry on her zombie-battling work while the airborne anti-virus slowly makes its way around the world. Thus concludes The Final Chapter , which unusually for a horror franchise, really was the end — at least as far as this particular Resi "universe" was concerned. Best set-piece : Alice races a Hummer through the ruins of Washington DC and fights one of the giant Bat-Dragon things from the fifth game. This was the last sequence of the entire franchise to be filmed.
So, what's next? Roberts wrote the screenplay with Mortal Kombat 's Greg Russo, and says it's a straight adaptation of the first two games, leaning into the horror and the dark, rain-soaked atmospherics. The story is split between the Spencer Mansion and the Raccoon City police station, and shooting is complete as of the end of last year.
Welcome To Raccoon City is currently scheduled for release in December Prev Next.
