Launched in 2002 "Evil Castle" is the prelude to the film work. The protagonist in the film is not one of the protagonists that video game fans expected from the movie, but an innovative character Alice to interpret the whole new story. . Although it is a bit disappointing to escape the main axis of the game, the atmosphere created at that time and the layout of the plot are refreshing, and the movie box office and evaluation are good, so whether you are a video game fan or not, you are looking forward to the sequel of this movie.
The "Evil Castle: Apocalypse", which was launched in 2004 soon, continued the first episode with Alice as the protagonist. In addition to pulling the background of the story to Lakun, which is also the main scene in the second and third generations of the game, it also Let the main characters of the game Jill and Carlos appear in this episode. I originally thought that I could relive the horror and darkness in video games, but I didn't expect that with the plot, the role of Alice was completely out of the control of the plot. In a scene at the end of the credits, Alice gains superhuman powers, adding superpowers to the jaw-dropping body movements. Seeing this scene, I think this movie is probably like this. With the ability to approach invincibility, I think any monster in the mind of the demon king set will be killed by him in seconds.
The story has come to the third episode, and the scene is pulled to Las Vegas in the west of the United States. The plot can be said to be lackluster. Except for the main character Claire (played by Ellie Wright), there is basically no special plot at all. . What I want to talk about is to strengthen the plot that was lacking in the previous two episodes of the movie. And the bizarre replicator at the end is basically about to equate "Evil Castle" with "Star Wars". At that time, I also asserted that the third episode was the last episode of the series, but I didn't expect that I underestimated Hollywood screenwriters. The power of nonsense, in the fourth episode of self-admiring a few slap movies, continues in another form.
So the story came to the fourth episode. After talking about so many previous works, this movie has changed from looking forward to the continuation of the story to wondering how to break the story down. And the plot of the movie is no surprise that the first three episodes of the story have been revised not long after the movie starts. In short, it is Alice's revision. The previously criticized problem seems to be cut off and retrained. Said to be lackluster. Originally thought that the second and third episodes would be relegated to the producer, that is, the biggest promoter of the series, Paul WS Anderson, would have some dazzling stories when he returned to directing, but Anderson seems to have pushed the film to the other extreme. , while discarding both results.
In fact, it can be seen that the movie goes to 3D to a certain extent, which adds a lot to the sense of presence and action scenes of this movie. After watching the whole movie, I found that the movie is full of slow motion, freeze-frame pictures and close-ups. Each action scene takes a lot of time. Less, like the comprehensive enhanced version of "The Matrix" and "Michael Paine", which turned the original animated movie version of the Evil Spirit Castle into an animated movie version. Such unscrupulous use of special effects makes the sound and light effect of the movie reach a good level, but it completely abandons the layout of the plot. Therefore, as mentioned earlier, Anderson abandoned both the plot and the picture, and the sound and light effect of the film was extremely improved. So to say it sounds good is to say that the sound and light effects are excellent, but in short, this movie is a popcorn movie that doesn't pay attention to the plot at all, but sometimes it's good to watch a movie and watch it, whether it's a popcorn movie is not that important.
There is no doubt that the movie time is not long, it is over in an hour and a half, and a lot of action scenes will get tired after watching it for a long time, so this timing is just right. Unlike the previous Alice's one-man show, this movie has changed. In addition to Claire, who appeared in the previous film, this time also appeared in the other two important characters of the Evil Castle series, namely Chris (Winworth Miller). Played) and the big devil Wesker (played by Sean Roberts) of the Evil Castle series have a lot of bridge performances, no longer just appearing to satisfy video game fans.
