4th Entry: Basically the same plot

Ok guys, I know there is a trend going on about zombie apocalypse. The first movie I saw about zombies was Resident Evil. The plot is about a giant corporation called Umbrella. They mask themselves as good guys but in reality they were developing bioweaponry. The creation of a powerful weapon called the T-Virus was in fact to help cure a disease. Unfortunately something went wrong. Infection started to spread, turning every one dead into living again. The movie franchise is adapted from a successful line of video games. I really like it.

Here is a picture of the video game:                          

And here is one about the movie:

After a while a sequel was released and then a third movie followed by the latest production, Apocalypse, Extinction and Afterlife respectively. A fifth installment is in production at the time.

I remember talking to a friend once upon a time and saying that we really liked a movie called 28 Days Later. I asked 'what is it about?' he replied that it was about people escaping from infected people that had a virus that turned them into flesh eating freaks. 'Oh kinda like Resident Evil, so you must like Resident Evil too?'... 'No, I don't like the movies or anything to do with Resident Evil'... Naturally my reaction was a little like this meme:

And why is my reaction like this... well basically both movies have the same premise. In Resident Evil people are trying to get away from infection so they don't turn into zombies and in 28 Days Later people are simply trying to get away from infected people so they won't get bitten by them. For me there are two differences in the plots. Resident Evil has highly trained people that fight for survival and help people along the way and in 28 Days later it is ordinary people the one that has to fight. In addition, in 28 Days Later the infection will killed the carrier if it does not consumer blood or sustenance within 28 days, hence the name. In Resident Evil the only way to stop infection is with a cure otherwise they will only continue to look for food. In Resident Evil is said that a bullet to the head or even a kick with the enough strength will be enough to stop a zombie.

Here is a picture of the movie 28 Days Later:

In my opinion there are slight differences between this two movies, but the main idea of survival is present in the plot. In one escaping from flesh eating zombies and the other one escaping from infected people to avoid being bitten. I would believe that someone who likes 28 Days Later would like Resident Evil.
