What is the title of the 2004 film sequel to Resident Evil?

The story behind the answer

The 2004 film sequel to Resident Evil is titled Resident Evil: Apocalypse.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse follows the 2002 film Resident Evil and was directed by Alexander Witt. Milla Jovovich returns as Alice, while the story moves from the underground Hive facility into Raccoon City during the spread of the T-virus outbreak.

The film introduces or expands several elements associated with the games, including Jill Valentine, Carlos Oliveira, and the Nemesis creature. Sienna Guillory portrays Jill, and Oded Fehr plays Carlos. The plot is not a direct adaptation of one game, but it borrows characters, locations, and concepts from the series.

The sequel’s title is often confused with the names of later films. Resident Evil: Extinction followed in 2007, Afterlife arrived in 2010, and Retribution followed in 2012. Apocalypse is specifically the second film in the original Resident Evil film series.
