Resident Evil: Afterlife IS Thrill and Ride of A Lifetime.

Rating: 9/10 (11 September 2010)

This film flew with colors and detail. Other than the past RE films it didn't put you in a situation where you were left waiting for the action. From start to finish it is a fun and entertaining thrill ride. The acting was awesome and the humor included seemed to be in the right places at the right time. For a smaller budget and a smaller series I could definitively tell they put everything into the film with what everything they had. It was entertaining and the story seemed to suck you in from start to finish. I LOVED the introduction. The Alice Clones were KICK-ASS!! Go see it when you have the chance PLEASE!!! First of all I would like to state that this IS a Resident Evil film. Soo many people in the past have been negated and hating on a series that is entertaining and trying to be original all on its' own taking. If its not about similarities towards the games its about people hating some cheesy or corny action scenes and dialouge that people bring up or hate against or maybe seem to not even be in the film at all. I find that people tend to want to negate the RE film series rather than make positive statements.
1. ONLY see it if you are at all familiar with the series of movies or the video games. If you haven't seen the movies or played the games don't be surprised if your confused and disappointed. A lot of people tend to make this mistake and then make crappy reviews because it was their fault they weren't familiar with the Resident Evil genre from the beginning. Don't criticize on Afterlife if you haven't seen the last 3 movies or played any of the games. Its not the movies or games fault, its yours.
2. Its critical to recognize this is a Resident Evil movie, so what you got out of the last three in terms of acting and scares will probably be around the same level of realism in this one. Although in Afterlife the acting and the support in terms of scares totally upgraded and the humor and realistic acting seemed to dwell within this film. The acting was really attractive in this continuation of the series and that was one of the many things that I liked about it.
3. I saw Afterlife in 3-D and 2-D. Let me tell you the quality is 50 million times better in 3D. In 2D everything was not as crisp and clear and the life the film was trying to convey in 3D can ONLY be seen in 3D...At least in the theaters anyways. So if you get a chance to see it in theaters I highly advise seeing it in 3D. Its DEFINITIVELY worth the money and time. You won't be disspointed with your purchase.
4. Lastly, Enjoy Resident Evil: Afterlife for what it is. Take the film and series on its own and try not to compare or negate things because let me tell you. If you don't like the movies why would you continue seeing them and if you didn't like the story why would you bother even wanting to see any sequels of a story you hated. This film is for the FANS NOT THE CRITICS. So please don't criticize. Thank You! And have a Fun and Entertaining time watching Resident Evil: Afterlife.
