A step in the wrong direction! :(

Rating: 6/10 (30 January 2017)

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.
