A man  showed throws a T-Virus, one of the vital virus made by umbrella co. into a lab causing it to escape into the air vents. The virus spread, trapping and killing everyone inside.
Alice (Milla Jovovich) awakens in an empty mansion with amnesia, only covered by shower curtain, we don't know her name, her role, or even her background before this, only a woman almost naked awaken from the shower room. This first scene is surely pointing to the that Alice is one of the woman exploitation in this film, the scene shows the beautiful of her body, her frame as a gorgeus woman, mostly exploit her sexual appeal as a woman. An object of to be looked at.


       The stroy continues , and Alice find her way to a clothes,a red cocktail dress and black knee-length boots, showing her exploitation more. the dress is torn up so the viewers could see the the beautiful leg which is pointed by this film.
       At the ending, Alice and Matt, the other survivor in this film is being captured by Umbrella scientist, and was brought to the surface of Racoon city.
       Alice awakens at the Raccoon City Hospital strapped to an examination table. This scene shows her crawling from a bed of laboratory with almost naked body, making her as an object of sexual exploitation. 

        After escaping, she goes outside to find Raccoon City a chaotic abandoned mess. A newspaper clipping shows that theT-Virus spread to the surface after Umbrella reopened the Hive, creating an army of undead which devastated the city within hours. Alice arms herself with a shotgun from a nearby police car as the film ends.
       Different from Resident evil Apocalypse, although the scene from the ending in Resident evil is was sgown for the second time, The story didn't really exploit Alice beautiful body anymore, sonce her dress is also more "covered".

       The story also didn't exploit any scenes that can exploit Alice beautiful body or her beautiful frame anymore, it is more considered as survival action film, since Alice is doing more battle and battle than the first time, where she's only considered as a "sweet" in the film.
