RE:Afterlife

Rating: 5/10 (18 September 2010)

I am a huge fan of the RE series. That's the only reason this one got a 5. RE: Afterlife is a big disappointment. While the action is sharp, the storyline is succinct and grossly underdeveloped. The zombies were, well, horrible; and not in the good sense. I read one review here that compared them to the Thriller variety. I totally agree. They looked like a bunch of people wearing K-Mart Halloween make-up. The big axe-wielding thing was a cool idea, but WTH!? What was it? And how the heck does it fit into the story? I hope the movie guys don't leave and otherwise awesome series burning in the ruble of this film. The clear emphasis was on the 3D tech, and not the art of storytelling. I should have waited for it to hit PPV.
