Both the first and the second movie are amazing,i mean com on guys, how can any of you hate the 2nd one, you only have to play RE4 and see how close they are (action wise of course) and from what we are seing from the trailer of Extinction it will be pure adrenaline rush, can't wait to see it.
And this DVD package isn't worth buying especially that we will be treated for a special trilogy box after the third (and NOT final) one.
Does anybody know anything about the extended edition of Apocalypse that imdb is talking about??

What exactly is this "bridge" scene?
Im gonna get this because i don't have the first 2 films. And im likeing the artwork.
My god...another one?!
Another double dip to waste your hard earned money on...Don't do it!! Milla is so sexy, to bad she acts in s**t action movies.Don't ever watch Ultraviolet,horrible movie but if you do.Watch it for Millas perfect gluteus maximus closeups.
Meh so-so artwork.
These films are horrible and I sort of liked the first one when I saw it but watched it once after that and found it to be seriously inept film making. The second was one of the worst films I have ever seen.
My GOD, Milla's smokin' hot.
I have the German 2 disc set with DtsES for the first and the Korean 2 discer for the 2nd. The pic quality on the R1 for Apocalypse wasn't great.
I think the art is bland. Too bad Jill isn't coming back. I loved her character in REA.
I love the look of that artwork although I already have the region 1 SuperBit of Resident Evil and the full bit rate DTS Hong Kong region 3 of Resident Evil: Apocalypse.
I liked the first RE movie but RE2 really took it to the next level. I hope Extinction continues to improve war at the very least matches Apocalypse.

Resident Evil just has all those underlying corporate evilness and hot chick taking on the system and offing some undead in the process.
It really cracks me up that movies like this get panned all the time. Sure, they are not ever going to be perfect. Everyone's vision of a franchise, character or plot never meets expectations. Both RE movies are way too short. More bloodletting and action would always be great but there's not much you can do. I sit there and enjoy the ride, suspend belief and just have a good time. Just the way I roll.
i'd love more RE movies preferably with Milla but I'd watch another without her...RE might make a decent TV series like Blade with the right writers.

... i just threw up in my mouth.
wow... and here i was thinking all this time that RESIDENT EVIL was based off a highly popular survival horror video game... when in truth it's really all about anorexic Milla Jovovich kung-fooing zombies, and monsters six times her size.
okay, while i will admit i really liked the first film, the second on the other hand.... <barf>
... i can't imagine anything positive coming out of "Extinction" either, especially without the sultry Sienna Guillory.

I can't wait for the third neither. I loved those movies and from what i saw in the trailers so far, the third one rocks.
Even though extonction is rumered to be the last one in the trilogy, Sony is rumered to be interested in continuing the franchise, so the 3rd one may be the last for Alice and they will start a new begening with more known characters from the game. I wish that they wont stop with this one because i think they are still at the begening of a successful saga.
However this DVD is a little bit of a let down, they should have made it at least a 3 dvd package if not 4, but what the hell, i'm willing to buy it just for the narrated bridge between the 2nd and 3rd movie and i hope they tell us what happened to Jill because they didn't bring her back for the 3rd one.

Not really digging the artwork but will defiantely be picking this up. I loved the first two and can't wait for the third!
Why would fans want the same DVDs as before? At least this is offering new bonus material, and new scenes (a bit like Daredevil EE).
And if this film makes as much as the last one ($120 mill. worldwide) then expect more. Maybe by a different cast and crew, but more.
Actually, this is probably the big September release, so it could well sell bucket-loads.
Fans might be interested in this: Capcom are using the movie series' Red Queen character in the upcoming Nintendo game, Umbrella Chronicles.
It's a bit weird for the originals using an adaptation's character (bit like how Chloe from Smallville is now officially in DC Comic continuity).

It's Milla. It's biochemical Zombies. It's in my collection. Plus there's movie ticket inside. Triple dip time for the 1st movie but that's okay. There's a few more extras that will get me to Best Buy upon it's release. Then next spring or summer when they package up the trilogy and toss in a bonus disc with ALL the extras I be back ponying up the dough for more Milla, biochemical Zombies and hopefully even more bloodletting. Toss in a few deleted scenes and I'm a happy camper.

It's not so much that the artwork is bad as it's just, "blah." I mean, it'd be cool if this was JUST action movies, but, they're action/horror, so, I'd like to have seen something eerie on the cover.

I hope Alice dies in this movie. I think it would the coolest if, for the ending, Wesker killed her. Then "You Are Dead" would splash in blood letters on the screen while Wesker does his Code Veronica laugh....

2 discs? but apocalypse was 2 discs by itself...gee way to rip off the people..lol
and like others said just wait...there will be some uber trilogy collection when the 3rd movie finally hits dvd...and then a quadrilogy set when part 4 comes..lol

Not to be pervy, but did Sony "enhance" Milla's right breast? And by enhance, I mean make extremely unnatural and distracting for the sake of attracting horny non-thinkers?
Horrible artwork
Artwork added...

Yea they later cancelled that idea.. Extinction will now be the final movie. They thought about shooting them back to back but then just sc**pped it altogether..

Depends on the package - if it's a nice LE, I'll get it!
C'mon guys. Don't buy this. You know that when Extinction comes to dvd, they'll probably have a trilogy set w/ all three movies and the same special features. First there was the original RE on dvd, then there was the RE:Deluxe Edition b/c Apocalypse was coming out, then there was the 2-disc of Apocalypse along w/ a two pack w/ both it and the first also available, now there's this one w/ both and different special features about to be release. I admit, I replaced the original w/ the deluxe, but, that's it. I doubt I'll be picking this up unless the artwork and the price just really draws me in.
This would be the perfect time to release the fantastic first film on Blu Ray, but disappointingly they are not.
However, even though Extinction is being called the final film in the trilogy, there's word that the story of Alice ends in the third film (it's "her" trilogy) and Leon (introduced at some point in Extinction) and Claire will continue on in another trilogy that's already being planned. Can't wait!
Now Sony... get off your butts and get on that Blu Ray of the first RE!

Yes I most definitely will buy this, because I don't have the first 2 and that SRP is CHEAP!!!
Another sequel about to be released, another box set with only the first 2 movies in it - people, stay away from this! Do not encourage them!
The second movie slapped some ass, it's pure guilty entertainment, I loved it,(except for the slo-mo zombies as mentioned elsewhere), and hope Extinction ups the action stakes even more.

And the 5th is called reloaded and the 6th is called revolutions and they both take place underground in the future. RFLOL

I will pick them up.
So will this set finally include the alleged "deleted scenes" of the first movie that the production crew always talk about?
I loved LOVED LOVED Apocalypse. It was pure awesome bottled, bagged, tied with a bow and just waiting to be drunk.
Hopefully I can get a screener of this, so I don't have to triple-dip. That said, I'll buy this anyway for the "bridge" scene and the free ticket.
I will probably then see Extinction six times in the same day, as I did with Apocalypse.*
*I will watch anything with Milla a thousand times.

well I don't mind wasting money at all so getting for sure
These films suck and I am a huge fan of the games. These movies are nothing more than rocknroll action horror flicks that do no justice to the horror and atmosphere the games have. Paul W.S. Anderson is one of the worst filmmakers behind Uwe Boll. He keeps trying the video game genre and just fails miserably.
Damn and here I own the first two (I kind of liked the second one but I couldnt stand the slow-mo-peter-jacksonsy shots they did for the zombies) and yet I still can't wait to see what the art looks like. I am going to hold off on this though....it will be hard but I'm doing it, you cant beat the plastic slide off sleeve Apocalpse had.
I really enjoyed the first, but haven't seen the 2nd. Not sure if I can be bothered with parts 2 or 3 to be honest, as I haven't heard anything good about them and I can't honestly see them doing anything different or better than what was in the first.
Extinction looks cool from the trailer. I definitely want to see it. don't know about the triple dip of the two films.
so this is a single disc release? if not, are all the extras from the previous versions on here?
i own the special edition of part 1 and the two disc of part 2 so i wont be getting it but just curious..lol

Pretty much hated the first, but the second one was, surprisingly enough, not as bad as I would have thought. And that's probably as much praise a Resident Evil film will ever get from me.
The first was great, the second...well, we all know how that turned out.
The first was spectacular. The second...not so much. And the third doesn't look any better than the second.
I own the first two films, so I will pass on this.

UH... from what I have seen and read from the internet and trailers...this is going to be a bad movie 
Let's just hope this franchise is "resurrected" with Extinction, after the it-had-so-much-potential-but-failed-to-deliver second installment.
P.S. Where is Leon?

Funny how imminent sequels "inspire" studios to re-release their previous instalments JUST IN TIME...nothing to do with capitalist thirst for materialistic non-thinkers' easy cash, methinks

Synopsis: Resident Evil
Based on the wildly popular video game, Resident Evil stars Alice (Jovovich) and Rain (Rodriguez) as the leaders of an elite commando-team who are tasked with breaking into “The Hive,” a vast underground genetics laboratory in Raccoon City, operated by the powerful international Umbrella Corporation. A deadly T-virus has been unleashed, killing the lab’s personnel and resurrecting them as the evil and ravenous undead. Battling the hungry zombies and mutated lab animals, the team has just three hours to deprogram the lab’s complex computer, “The Red Queen,” and shut down the facility before the virus threatens to overrun the Earth.
Synopsis: Resident Evil: Apocalypse
Jovovich returns in Resident Evil: Apocalypse as one of only two survivors of the contained biochemical disaster in Resident Evil. The sequel opens with Alice in the heart of the ravaged and deadly Raccoon City. She has been subjected to biogenetic experimentation by the Umbrella Corporation and is genetically altered, with super-human strengths, senses and dexterity. Alice ultimately joins forces with special tactics soldiers to contain the deadly virus outbreak and focuses her unbridled energy on escaping what is quickly becoming a city of corpses.
