It was entertaining to see a Star Trek character appear in this film. I’ve started rewatching the Resident Evil series, and I found the second movie to be enjoyable. It built logically upon the previous installment, choosing to advance the narrative rather than attempting to duplicate the original, which I thought worked really well.

Certain action sequences were alright, but a lot of it felt like a complete drag. **2.0/5**
