Resident Evil: Afterlife

Rating: 4/10 (16 January 2011)

The first film in the video game based series has been the only good one, the first sequel is one of the worst films ever made, and the third film was a slight improvement, and if you saw it, then this fourth picks up where the story left off, from first film returning director Paul W.S. Anderson (Mortal Kombat, AVP: Alien vs. Predator, Pompeii). Basically the film opens with Alice (Milla Jovovich) and a few of her clones we saw in the previous film breaking into the Umbrella Corporation base in Tokyo, Japan to try and kill Albert Wesker (Shawn Roberts). After escaping and having an injection of the T- virus which rids her off all her superhuman abilities, Alice returns to the ship Arcadia in Alaska where you may remember the other survivors she left behind were heading. After coming out with a electronic device on her chest, which gets removed, Claire Redfield (Ali Larter) doesn't recognise Alice or have any recollection of previous events, so they head for Los Angeles. When they arrive on th roof of a building, where survivors are protecting themselves from the siege of undead people, Luther West (Boris Kodjoe) tells them the Arcadia is docked nearby and has stopped broadcasting the emergency message. With the help of their new fellow survivors, Claire, her criminal brother Chris (Prison Break's Wentworth Miller), Alice, make their way towards the vessel battling against the thousands of infected zombies and a monster or two with a variety of decent weapons. Inside the ship we see Wesker has been waiting, and below the floor are brought out hundreds of survivors are hidden beneath, and in the end, after killing the villain with his own bomb, a new emergency broadcast by Alice is made to say "there is hope". Also starring Kim Coates as Bennett, Spencer Locke as K-Mart, Kacey Barnfield as Crystal Waters, Sergio Peris-Mencheta as Angel Ortiz, Norman Yeung as Kim Yong, Sienna Guillory as Jill Valentine and Fulvio Cecere as Wendell. This is pretty much exactly the same standard as the previous sequel, better than the second film filled with the same amount of quite entertaining scary, special effects ladened moments, not a bad science-fiction action horror thriller. Okay!
