Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010)

Sorry, this movie sucks

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

After the first two films which I consider the best, this franchise quickly went down hill in Extinction but after I seen this film I felt well at least it's a little better than the third film.I first seen this back in 2011 on DVD when another buddy of mine brought over a bootleg copy on DVD and I found it to be better than the third film. He did as well and felt the third was probably the worst in the series, at the time I agreed with him but the third has grown on me and I'm more OK with it now.Unlike the third film, this one gets right to it with a strong action packed opening and it delivers. Alice storms an Umbrella Corporation with her multiple copies in Tokyo, but soon she is turn back to her normal human state( still having her over- the-top fighting abilities) by Wesker and her copies get KIA after Wesker detonates the facility on his getaway chopper. Also this franchise begins to become inconsistant in this film but it really started with Extinction. Alice meets a new group of survivors and they band together to fight the undead that has breached their strong hold.I give it a 6/10. better than the third with fun over the top action scenes.

Technically speaking, Resident Evil: Afterlife DOES pick up where the previous film left off, but literally only for the opening scene. Alice and her clones do go on an all-out assault against Umbrella HQ in Tokyo (as promised) (the virus has spread pretty far at this point), but then the movie goes downhill from there.Alice travels the world in her plane in search of Arcadia (from the previous movie), and eventually runs into Claire (also from the previous movie); however, she has no memory of anything and has a metallic-bug-like device on her chest (compliments of Umbrella) and she tries to kill Alice.Once Alice removes it, her and Claire come across a prison with survivors. They show Alice a ship off in the distance called the "Arcadia" and they think Alice was sent in her plane (that she could barely land on the prison roof) to rescue them.The rest of the movie consists of everyone pretty much hanging out at the prison and doing nothing UNTIL zombies break in (I KNOW! SHOCKER!) and a large obviously-mutated-by-Umbrella man carrying an even larger axe/meat tenderizer. The fight between him and Alice & Claire is literally the best (and really only good part) of the movie.There's a pretty lame Matrix-rip-off fight between the gang and Wesker, then the movie ends with Alice broadcasting that the "Arcadia" is now inhabited and indeed a safe haven for survivors.FINAL VERDICT: Partially because this movie was coming off the heals of RE: Extinction (the best RE at this point in my opinion), and honestly just because nothing really happened, I deem this movie "the worst Resident Evil", hands-down. If you've never seen all of them (and you're gonna have a marathon), then sure, watch all of them, but as a stand-alone movie, i do NOT recommend this movie.

After the Amazing Resident Evil: Extinction we get Resident Evil: After Life which in my opinion is a mess the last 2 sequels were written and produced by Paul W.S Anderson but were directed by different people so maybe that's why i enjoyed them so much this one tho is indeed directed by Anderson who directed the first one and aww my god stop with the 3D the only 3D movie i have seen on the big screen and i enjoyed it was TransFormers 3: Dark of the Moon in here the cgi and 3D is awful and what's wrong with this whole slow motion it worked on the previous film because it was once in a time in the whole movie in here it happens every 2 seconds and also is it just me or does this film copies Matrix way too much? also red eyes which means Terminator and ugly faces with big mouths probably or definitely Predator. I know that i'm talking about the bad stuff and i seem like i hated the movie but honestly i didn't Claire and Alice are the only 2 characters i liked from this movie mostly and i thought Chris and Luther were OK characters also the girl from the 3rd one returns and we also have Valentine in a post credit scene. In the end Resident Evil 4 is a big, loud mess that needs to be involved into something better let's say a better sequel? I hope Resident Evil 5 is better than i remember it. I give After Life a B- and also a 7 out of 10 it's a disappointing entry on the famous Franchise.

A super-heroine's assault on an evil corporation is foiled, so she teams up with a desperate group of survivors to battle through a zombie horde and finish the job.Alice continues her quest for Arcadia in a decent addition to the series. The director delivers his usual excellent pace and action set pieces, and the lead actress is always perfect in her icy, fists-on-hips compassion. But the story is a bit diffuse, with too many locations and characters, plus enough gaps in the logic to take you out of the story. Did it need the second strong female? The giant axe-wielding zombie? Nope. And what's with the silver dollars - an appeal to survivalists? Overall, it rolls along with lots of flames and fury, and a few touches of humour, ending in a swirl of optimism and pessimism. For fans only - which includes me.
