Let me be honest: I enjoyed watching Resident Evil: Afterlife.
But let’s be real: Resident Evil: Afterlife is an atrocious movie.
But who would have expected more? I mean, all of the past Resident Evil films, helmed by Paul W.S.Anderson and lead by his supermodel wife, Mila Jovavich, have never been synonymous with the word “quality” or “outstanding. Instead, they barely referred back to Capcom’s beloved series to keep fans in the loop and haven’t approached any semblance of compelling storytelling. But that’s ok for a film like this. What else do they need? With gnarly zombies, a continuation of the post-apocalyptic dystopia, sexy Jovavich and now 3D effects, what more could fans of crappy films want?
Taking place right after the end of the last film, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, Alice (Jovavich) and her clones infiltrate the Umbrella Corporation’s underground complex under the streets of Tokyo. After a bunch of over the top, unnatural fight sequences (she’s got the T virus, dontcha know), Alice finds herself gearing off to Alaska to find Claire (Ali Larter), one of the few characters appearing from the games. Clair has a robot bug on her chest, has lost all of her memory, and so what do they do? Off to LA they go!
