AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
anselmdaniel This review contains spoilers.Resident Evil: Afterlife is the sequel to 2007's Resident Evil: Extinction. Resident Evil: Afterlife is the fourth installment of the Resident Evil franchise and is a follow-up to Resident Evil: Extinction. Alice discovers the laboratory containing clones and she is now in-control of her new powers. Alice begins with an attack on Albert Wesker's Umbrella Corporation headquarters.Like the past two movies, Resident Evil: Extinction and Resident Evil: Apocalypse, the story makes excuses to have its action sequences. The movie also backpedals on its own continuity by removing its own plot developments. Resident Evil: Afterlife removes all of the Alice clones and her superpowers after an enthralling opening sequence. The clone and superpower arc is now irrelevant after the opening sequence.This is not the only story mishap and the story tries to re-use elements from previous movies. Alice finds a group of survivors in a tower. She leads these survivors into a place that is promising sanctuary called Arcadia. This is obviously a lie as everything is owned by The Umbrella Corporation somehow. Even after a zombie apocalypse and bio-weapons roam the world, the Umbrella Corporation is able to still construct new buildings and ships. They are also able to maintain a loyal workforce that does not care about the atrocities they commit.Even the ending sequence of arriving at Arcadia and dealing with Albert Wesker is laughable. The movie is hoping that the would care but they do not. It is hard to care about the story when the movie opens by removing events from the previous movies.Besides the story, the rest of the movie is solid. The action sequences are still fun to watch. Although Alice does not have much character it is still fun to see the stunts that she does. The action scenes are competently shot and edited. The strangeness of some of the scenes however stem from the three dimensional requirement. It felt that because the movie had 3D in mind, some scenes were shot differently and I could tell immediately that these scenes felt different.Fans of the video game may not enjoy this movie if they are expecting a movie based on the video game series. Like Resident Evil: Extinction, this movie uses the same visual style of the monsters and nothing else.Overall, Resident Evil: Afterlife can be a fun action movie to watch. It does not need prior knowledge of the series because of the poor writing.
Thomas Drufke They call these films video game adaptations for a reason. They are meant to be adaptations and not just another installation into that franchise. 'Afterlife' feels way more like video game on screen than it does a film by itself.The film begins with CGI filled action sequenced that is flooded with unnecessary slow motion camera work. It's filmed in 3D, so I guess Paul W.S. Anderson was really wanted to exploit that version of the medium and give the audience it's most visceral film to date in the franchise. While there are some moments of brilliant B-movie fun, 'Afterlife' is just more of the same. And sadly it feels like some scenes are ripped right from the video games without any extra CGI or effects done.As if you weren't already tired of the Umbrella Corp being at the forefront of each and every one of these films, they once again make their unwelcomed presence felt. Minus Dr. Isaacs and now adding pretty much the exact same character in Albert Wesker, the Umbrella Corp doesn't do anything they haven't already done in the series. Seriously, in every film Umbrella spies on Alice & company, attempt to take her down, and have a big confrontation towards the end. Besides a rotating supporting cast, the films are all structured the same way. There's a real lack of creativity here.There's one clear reason why these films are made. Money. The filmmakers know how to produce these features and get people to spend their hard-earned cash on them. I enjoy a silly action adventure as much as the next guy, but there needs to be a little more effort put forth before I can actually certify these as guilty pleasure movies. As of now, they're mindless blood & guts action-horror films. However, the way this movie ends got me undeniably a little bit excited to sit down and watch the next one.+Some fun action scenes-But mostly too CGI filled for my liking-Same old story over and over again4.5/10
jtindahouse Having really enjoyed (at least as far as this series goes) the third entry in the 'Resident Evil' set of films, I was quite disappointed to see them take a step backwards in this one. 'Resident Evil: Afterlife' is my least favourite entry in the series to date. Interesting, my two least favourites, the original and this one, were both directed by series writer/producer Paul W.S. Anderson. The second and third entries, which he lent out to other directors, were far superior in my opinion. This is a disappointing fact, because I have two films to go in the series and he has directed both of them.The reasons I didn't enjoy this one as much were as follows. Firstly, this one is much slower than the other films in the series. At almost the halfway point in the run time the story is still being set up and characters are simply standing around introducing them self and discussing what to do. There are little hints of action here and there in the first half, but they are hardly anything worth mentioning. Secondly, it felt like this focused a lot more on style than actual substance. The opening scene is a prime example. Very very little actually happens in it, yet the whole thing is filmed in slow motion and with stylish camera angles to make us think this is a great scene. Also, it would have to be said that this series is starting to feel a little stale after four entries. You find yourself asking what exactly am I getting in this edition that I haven't already seen or experienced. I would love to see Anderson think a little outside the box for the next two entries. Try something different to mix it up a bit. Otherwise I feel this series really can't justify six entries.
Matszeus Wow..just wow the people that wrote and directed this garbage should be incarcerated to a cell with soft walls, I mean just look at the start of the movie when "Alice" is attacking the Umbrella corp headquarters...I've seen bad movies but this is sad, the potential for making a good Resident evil movie must be out there, I mean is Capcom happy with this piece of poo? Or just ***** some American *****.You can watch it and decide for yourself.It blew the blow out of gundpowder that smokes the wack out of crack...please don't come back.
