Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010)

Plot?

Alice continues her search for survivors from the virus of the previous films. Her search for the safe haven 'Arcadia' leads her to a group of survivors holed up on a building, surrounded by miles of  'living dead'. They must get to 'Arcadia' before the 'living dead' get in!!

The good:

• Now that is one kick-ass opening scene even though the CGI looks a bit tacky
• The constant mention of Alice being survived all the time keeps the intrigue factor on at all times
• Ali Larter overshadows Milla Jovovich and packs a solid punch
• Michael Scofield aka Wentworth Miller is on the silver screen doing what he does, 'breaking out' ;)
• Cool action scenes and rocking BGM (sometimes headache-inducing)
• We have another sequel, hooray for mindless action!!

The bad:

• Looks like a series of interconnected action scenes
• For people who have not played the games, they have no idea about the strange octopuss-like jaws of the undead or 'The Executioner' who looks like 'The Khali', only double in size :o
• Alice is not her 'usual' self because of the plot, which disappointed me. Watch the film and you'll know what I mean
• Lots of make up even though they don't have proper food, especially the women ha ha ha
• A "preposterous logic" (is that an Oxymoron??) behind the safe heaven  'Arcadia'
• As it is a 3-d film, some actions might actually look funny and illogical when seen in 2-d ;)

My Say:

The weakest in terms of action as well as the CGI in the 'Resident Evil' series in my opinion. But still, this latest offering is worth watching, for it is primarily an action movie and is pretty good at it. The big explosions have eye-popping visuals actually and not the majority of the movie as the promos mislead. Watch it for Jovovich who is gradually becoming an action figure despite aging, Ali Larter and Wentworth Miller!!
