The Takeaway: This sequel is often cited as the fan-favorite among gamers because it incorporates iconic elements from the source material. We finally see Jill Valentine in her classic tube-top and skirt outfit, Nemesis as a hulking tyrant, and the destruction of Raccoon City. It bridges the gap between the first film’s horror and the franchise’s future action orientation.

The "Alice Saga" consists of six films released over a fourteen-year period.

Despite flashbacks, the story flows best in release order. However, note that The Final Chapter directly ignores the cliffhanger of Retribution (the White House fight is resolved in the film’s first 5 minutes). Do not expect logical consistency.
