Great for the fans, but could have been better...

Rating: 6/10 (23 January 2011)

I'm a HUGE fan of the Resident Evil games and I do enjoy the movies...even though the predecessors of Afterlife hardly had anything to do with the actual game; Wesker wasn't even mentioned until the 3rd installment, and Jill Valentine's part in 2 pretty much...well..sucked (I thought the actress was horrible and they made her into a total b!tch). Despite all that though, who doesn't like zombie movies? When I saw the trailer for Afterlife, I was PSYCHED! It looked like there was SO much more stuff in it that fans would appreciate and love to see, ie: Wesker and Chris Redfield fight, the big axe guy, etc. Although I loved seeing all of that, I was still kind of disappointed. There was a TON of cheesy slow motion scenes and I was really getting sick of seeing it. I just wanted to yell, "Just let them fight and stop slowing it down!" The "big axe guy" fight was VERY disappointing; the character that fought him, shouldn't have. They should have had Chris fight him. Probably the thing I hated the most was Ali Larter doing a backflip off of a wall...yeah, that was so unnecessary. Overall, I did enjoy the movie although not as much as I really wanted to. By the way, after a few minutes during the end credits, a scene will play which leads us to believe there will be ANOTHER movie.
