  What can I say i like Milla. She kicks ass as Alice in all these movies :)

• Jameson W

  
  Haven't seen the others in the saga, but this wasn't that good. There were some elements that I enjoyed, but i'll be able to tell more when I see the series in order. Milla Jovovich is not a good actress though.

  I was expecting to be disappointed, and in that respect, this movie did not disappoint. Marginally better than the last film, but still not as good as just playing the damn games or watching a Z-budget with a better script and more focus on the zombies instead of bullet-time, explosions, and genetic clones.

  I know that Resident Evil: Afterlife is an entertainingly but not originally crafted piece of shit. When it wasn't ripping off The Matrix (shots, bullet time effects, creepy indestructible Agent Smith-like villain) it had me cracking up at how horrifically slick, clean and fashion-savvy a world that was skull-fucked by a zombie apocalypse can be. I got sucked into Afterbir--Afterlife because I was impressed with how well done the first half hour or so of Resident Evil: Apocalypse was. Of course that one slid into the same puddle of shit where Afterbir--Afterlife resides. Some fun violence, a little foxiness, a few laughs and some serious disappointment (no matter how low your expectations are) are all you can really expect. Oh and a setup for another one, of course. Oh the places you end up when looking when you're desperate for a good zombie movie...

  Paul W.S. Anderson just keeps popping them out and <i>Resident Evil: Afterlife</i> is everything as expected.<p>Seen as a continuation from the previous 3 films, this installment makes it easy to piece the necessary information together and then set in motion a 90+ minute story (including a scene in the end credits) good enough to stand alone. With that said, things move briskly with a bunch of fade outs to advance the story, which is amusing enough to get by.</p><p>The action is stylized with many slow motion shots and objects flying toward the screen, which is obviously put together for 3D purposes. Ultimately, there are only a few moments where any of the action approaches the impressive level.</p><p>Many of the characters are uninteresting and that makes them expendable. Milla Jovovich and Ali Larter are the highlights. It is tough to argue with two gorgeous ladies doing all the dirty work.</p><p><i>Resident Evil: Afterlife</i> sets itself as an action oriented film rather than an eerie suspenseful one. That's all there is to it.</p>

  I won't pretend these movies are anywhere close to good, but each one has provided some mild, mindless thrills. However, the fourth film in a franchise going nowhere is the first of the series that just says, "To hell with trying to be even remotely real." This is a living video game, especially the opening sequence where it's a nonstop barrage of self-conscious visual tricks, hails of bullets, gore, and a general kick in the balls to the laws of physics. I'm not asking for much, but I'd like my mindless violence to be of a quality where it doesn't feel 100 percent gratuitous and, frankly, boring. If every single scene involves someone doing something fantastic, over-the-top, and absurd, then where can my interest go but down? Director Paul W.S. Anderson returns to the series he begot in 2002. Get ready for more zombies, more weird mutant creatures that will act however they damn well feel like, and more Milla Jovovich confusing toughness with cold stares. The action is ripped purely from a video game with no regards for geography, setup, tension, development, or anything that would matter. It's just all flashes of violence one after the other. It's a mostly depressing enterprise. But where do they go from here? The second movie was subtitled "Apocalypse" (little too hasty there), the third "Extinction," and now this one is subtitled, "Afterlife." Is the next one going to be, "Reincarnation"? And the certainty of a fifth movie only adds to my depression level. Nate's Grade: C-

  Ah . . . well . . . I tell you what. The real reason i wanted to see this is because I wanted to see Milla Jovovich's most recent developments. I've been thinking about adding her to my potential wife list, but I needed to do a final bit of research, you know, just to make sure she should be on that list. <p>As some of you know who've read my past comments, this list includes Gwyneth Paltrow, Sanaa Lathan, Parminder Nagra, and Norika Fujiwara, to name but four. For that reason, I'm happy to say that I was able to confirm that my dear Ms. Jovovich is someone I'd definitely like to marry. She is now officially on the list : ) I would actually like to congratulate her personally for achieving this honor, but I can't seem to find her phone number. Yet : ) <p> Anyway, one humongous star for Ms. Jovovich. In fact, one star for each incarnation of Ms. Jovovich. <p>So that's like 300 stars. Sadly, flixster only allows five. So five humongous stars for my possible future wife, although I'll never watch this movie again, and I don't think anyone else should waste their time watching it either. I mean it's reeeally bad. I kid you not. Except for my potential wife, Milla Jovovich, who is reeeeeeeeelly great : ) <p>Can you imagine if her folks had actually had quintuplets, and there were five sisters who were identical. Wow . . . : )

  There's no horror left, just gloss. And not terribly compelling gloss. But it earned a bunch of money, so expect more.

  At this point, this is the best film in the franchise so far and by the looks of it, it just gets better. Director, Paul W.S Anderson has crafted an extremely well-done thrill-ride loaded with heart-pounding action and explosive suspense from beginning to end. A jaw-dropping and spectacular movie that's a pure adrenaline-rush that you just cant get enough of. An exhilarating action-packed horror ride that blows you away. It's bold, bloody and ever so cool in it's style. This movie just flat-out kicks ass all over the place and has a great ending that only promises another awesome adaptation. MIllia Jovovich and Ali Larter are back with strong portrayals as well as being incredibly demanding as the lead heroes of the film. Wentworth Miller is terrific in his debut to the series as Chris Redfield as well as Shawn Roberts as Albert Wesker giving a chillingly cool performance.

  I haven't really liked any of the movies in this franchise,so I don't know why I bothered with this one. Same crappy movie,just 3/4ths in slow motion. I love zombies,just not in crappy movies like this.

  I'm incredibly surprised by how enjoyable I found this movie to be. I've only seen the first movie and I thought it was pretty boring and bland despite a very strong opening sequence. It's nice to see that the franchise has at least evolved a little bit since then. I had to fill in the plot myself because they don't go over much, but I wasn't that lost since I've played the video games. The action and special effects are decent here, instead of incredibly cheap and fake looking like they used to be. I guess the franchise is finally getting a budget. The action is enjoyable, even if it completely rips off of the Matrix-esque slow motion bullets and whatnot. The plot is a pretty simple end of the world zombie scenario and the movie ends on a cliffhanger, but that's about the only thing I have to complain about. They've cut down on the bad acting and dialogue considerably. Heck, this is even better than the video game series in that respect and this series lives on that. I turned my brain off and had some fun. It's not a good movie, but the franchise has improved and I look forward to what they do next.

  Nothing more than another installment in the video game franchise, Resident Evil Afterlife is more or less harmless, regardless of whether it's seen in 2D or 3D. If you're a fan of the game, you already know that this movie, as with the entire franchise, will not retain any of the game's claustrophobic atmosphere (although the games have become more of action based games than survival horror since Resident Evil 4). This movie retains the bosses and villains from Resident Evil 5, but the story continues where the third film left off. If you're a fan of the films, you can't really go wrong with this one. It's got tons of gory action, and a passable story that links it all together. You can't really think too much about the plot holes, as that would require the movie to have a plot begin with. For me, I was satisfied enough to see the characters from the video games brought to life. The action entertained me and didn't overstay it's welcome. Anyone who has stuck around the franchise this long knows what to expect from it, and Afterlife won't disappoint. If it does, you might have been expecting too much.

  It pains me to say this, but.... THIS FILM IS AWFUL<p>I'm a huge fan of the first two Resident Evils, and I was little so-so on the third, but this installment is total garbage. It is void of any sense of authenticity, nor does it even feel like a Resident Evil film. The zombies were ridiculous looking and had peculiar habits. The action scenes were unfathomably lame and unoriginal. This was an all around train wreck that should've never even been considered for development.

  Let me be clear, despite my slightly positive rating, Resident Evil: Afterlife is in no way a "good" movie. But it is entertaining, in a ridiculous, inexplicable way. I'm a fan of this series, even though that admission would probably cause some people to doubt any and all of my credibility when it comes to movies. The last three RE flicks were just dumb, fun action movies with zombies, and I could appreciate them for what they were. No, they don't follow the games very closely, and no they weren't scary in the slightest, but I still liked them (to varying degrees). Milla Jovovich is a credible and likable action star and seeing her jumping through the air, kicking and shooting things in the face never really got old, for me. Plus, this series has a habit of including some pretty hot actresses in each installment (including this one), which I heartily approve of. Afterlife, to be quite honest, is a train-wreck. But, it's like a train-wreck where no one gets injured, and the train cars do some crazy flips in slow motion and there are tons of explosions and everyone who happened to see it had a pretty good time watching it. Writer and director Paul W.S. Anderson has completely (and wisely) given up on trying to make these movies make sense in the slightest way, and let all logic fall right off the B- movie cliff. There's just so many cheesy, absurd things going on at any given moment that it's almost an overload. The almost constant slow motion, the AWFUL acting, the absurd dialogue, the concrete-tunneling zombies, the guarantee that exactly every 3 minutes, a zombie or monster was going to magically appear behind a character and kill/almost kill them, the random elements from the games strewn about haphazardly...it's all just so ridiculous. This truly awful movie appealed to me in a perverse way. It certainly didn't bore me, that's for sure. But, you should be very wary if your tolerance (and maybe even fondness?) for a disaster isn't equal to mine. Resident Evil: Afterlife destroys the limits of absurdity like one of Alice's shotguns to the face. And yet, after the extra scene during the credits, I actually felt eager to see the next Resident Evil movie. Maybe I'm the one who's absurd.

  Without having seen the original film, it is extremely hard for me to review these films. But what I have gathered together over the years, I have taken into account here for this film. Resident Evil: Afterlife, in my opinion do not think it lives up to the freshness of the original film, but I believe it is the strongest sequel in the series. The end is amazing, even though it feels like a rip-off of the matrix. RE4 delivers!

  MY NAME IS ALICE...THE VIRUS ESCAPED AND EVERYBODY DIED. TROUBLE WAS...THEY DIDN"T STAY DEAD. ......All the movies start with that, and I always get excited. You know, the more Resident Evil movies that are made, the more appallingly ridiculous, and cheesy they get. And, in my opinion, the more entertaining they get. Nobody should have expected this movie to be better than all the previous ones, and as long as people realize that, then we can all relax and enjoy the ride. Every consecutive movie goes more over the top, and is riddled with wtf? scenes, But I just love it!!!! and love that Milla!! and guess what. There IS more...yay!

  25/11/2010 (CINEMAS/3D) This is the latest R.E. flick and it's in eye popping 3D! I personally don't have any issues with 3D flicks but only those cheap as ones where you ask at the end of the film, "where was the 3D?" with disappointment. The 3D on this was awesome and I loved the blood spattering on my glasses as bullets flew towards me! I do say that "R.E: Extiction" was a little better in the story telling department but otherwise this episode is seriously butt kicking and I still say that it is more Sci-fi than horror once again. Finally there is a character from the game and by the way it ended there may be more episodes. From what I recognized it seems that they'll be a little more like the games next time. By the way, did anyone notice the music? It was the same tune for "Kick-Ass" when "Big-Daddy" burnt down the warehouse.

  Although this lacked the originality a lot but I liked it more than the first three (though, at some points it looked ridiculously weird, i.e: the feature of those two dogs). The third part meant something else (in my opinion). It looked like Alice was going to attack by bringing her clone army. But it was a tiny bit of action which disappointed me <i>a little bit</i>. The whole story went to some other ways (and I think that's why this movie wasn't rated that well). Those dead people <i>kinda</i> reminded me of Davy Jones from <i>Pirates of Carribean</i> (the tentacles weren't that long but somehow it reminded me of that). The action scenes were really badass. I loved the starting (showing an infected girl from toe to head in slow motion). And the musics completely blew my mind, like wow (yes I also care about the music in movies). And yes there was a/some (I only noticed one though) <i>Matrix</i> moment(s). It's actually a traditional thingy to copy from another movie. But anyway, the ending wasn't ending at all. It ended with a surprise. Now I'll have to wait for the next part.
