In a world completely over run by a virus, turning its victims into Zombies, Alice (Milla Jovovich), proceeds in her search for survivors. Her struggle with the Umbrella Corporation reaches new levels, Alice gets some help from an old friend. They get some new information that leads them in search of a safe zone, but when they arrive the city is infested with zombies.
Resident Evil is here again, which is not a bad thing, I am a fan of the games and when I watched the first Resident Evil I was disappointed, the games were very atmospheric and scary and the movie just didn't match up. However putting the games to one side they were still entertaining movies.
Resident Evil Afterlife is exactly that, entertaining, the acting and dialog is solid enough, there are plenty of impressive action scenes and a decent sound track. Afterlife is a very visually impressive movie.
The story is told well enough, the pacing is good and I wasn't bored during the film. Not a master piece by any means and not particularly true to the games but I still found it entertaining. It won't tax the brain, but it's one of those movies that can be watched again and again.
To be truly appreciated it should be watched on a large screen with a decent sound system. Without the sound and the visuals it may struggle to hold someone's attention.
6 out of 10
