Resident Evil: Afterlife Review

DVD Realease Date: December 28, 2010

Alice (Milla Jovovich) is back in the third installment of the Resident Evil saga. Based on the iconic video game series, Resident Evil somehow keeps audiences coming back for more and more.



The first two films were your typical zombie movies. They consist of: survive, kill a lot of zombies and escape. Those films knew what they were, and how to deliver to an audience. As the series progresses the filmmaker seem to lose the plot, clawing to try to make sense of the most recent twist. As a result, the first half of this movie is spent trying to make up for the ridiculous premise set up in the last film.

Zombie movies don’t need a plot; zombie movies don’t need good characters; Zombie movies need zombies. It takes half the film before the first zombie is killed. When you rely heavily on a fan base wanting action it’s a good idea to give them action!

Once the film finally gets going there’s enough blood and violence to go around, and the action is definitely shot very well. If you’re a fan of the first three films, go out and rent it; otherwise, stay clear.

Final Grade: D
