A fun 3D movie.

Rating: 8/10 (10 September 2010)

3D Movies like this are hard to come by this year. This is another movie which used 3D camera to film. The previous movie is Step Up 3D which the 3D is good too. I think only three live-action movies used 3D camera, Resident Evil Afterlife, Step Up 3D and the highly anticipated Tron Legacy. The rest are lazy 3D; notable ones are Clash of the Titans and The Last Airbender. Anyway, the 3D for this is good, I could see at least the effort to bother to get 3D camera to film it. As the usual in recent 3D movies, this does not really contain pop-out images but it brings us to the world where we are like standing next to them; watching the bloody battle between man and zombies.
The story: It is as dead straight as a zombie walking. Alice still survives...and takes revenge on the Umbrella Corps in Japan. And she survives and saves some survivors. Yadayada...I could go on but is there a need to? It is as straight forward as the other three movies; if you can get the story of the other three movies, why not this? Plus this is a familiar video game adaption. The action is there with some cool slow-motion. But the climax is somewhat disappointing. As usual as the other three movies, this has annoying and cheap shock scenes. The director says "Let's make it scarier by having shock scenes in 3D, people will be screaming!" Acting wise is the usual, Milla is cool. As usual in zombie movies, there is one annoying character that i couldn't care. Music is good and brings out the atmosphere but sometimes, the pop music is not needed.
Overall: It is a fun 3D movie. You get to see man fighting zombies in 3D. The 3D and the action just immersed me into their horrible world unlike the recent video game adaption. The King of Fighter which makes me a little bored. Since this movie ends with a cliffhanger, I better expect a sequel.
