This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

After the first two films which I consider the best, this
franchise quickly went down hill in Extinction but after
I seen this film I felt well at least it's a little better than
the third film.I first seen this back in 2011 on DVD
when another buddy of mine brought over a
bootleg copy on DVD and I found it to be better than the third film.
He did as well and felt the third was probably the worst in the series,
at the time I agreed with him but the third has grown on me and I'm
more OK with it now.Unlike the third film, this one gets right to it with a strong action packed
opening and it delivers. Alice storms an Umbrella Corporation with her
multiple copies in Tokyo, but soon she is turn back to her normal human
state( still having her over- the-top fighting abilities) by Wesker and her copies get KIA after Wesker detonates the facility
on his getaway chopper. Also this franchise begins to become inconsistant
in this film but it really started with Extinction. Alice meets a new group of survivors and they band together to
fight the undead that has breached their strong hold.I give it a 6/10. better than the third with fun over the top
action scenes.

Someone give me a defibrillator! We need to turn this undead franchise back to life before my mind melts. Oh no wait, too late. This chapter famously turned the series into an action franchise. Who's to blame? Paul W.S. Anderson. Oh God, even his name just boils my blood. Alice believes she might just be the only survivor left, where she journeys to Arcadia to which has been broadcasting a signal out. Not is all as she hoped for, and soon flies back. Fuel is low, lands near a group of survivors, try to survive until the final act which teases the next film. We've seen it three times before, the exact same formula. Who thought a fourth time would be clever? Paul W.S. Anderson. Who was behind the genius idea of making nearly every scene part of a noticeable green screen and flood them with horrendous visual effects? Paul W.S. Anderson. Which mortal being conjured up the idea of writing a lifeless script, populating it with bland characters and dull dialogue? Well...quite a few screenwriters, but in this case Paul W.S. Anderson. Who is to blame for my sanity dissipating as I write this review? Paul W.S. Anderson. Words cannot describe how much of an amateur I think he is. Who keeps giving him money!? Stop it! Now! He is so obsessed with showcasing his wife in badass stunts, that he neglects everything else. Granted, Jovovich has fully evolved into the action star she's been progressing on and there are some enjoyable scenes, like the boss battle with the Executioner. But sweet Jesus Anderson just loves himself. I just laugh at how creative he tries to be with the camera, and it flops every time. "Oh I know, let's put the camera behind those trees...yeah, that'll look sexy!". Almost every element to this film looked cheap and lazy. The obvious wire stunts, the atrocious CGI, the gimmicky 3D abominations and the convoluted story to which I now don't care. Characters that you think are dead...aren't dead. I just...don't care. Eff you Anderson, Eff you!

In this 4th installment, Alice continues her fight against the Umbrella Corporation. She now finds herself in Alaska in hope of finding some kind of humanity left from the disaster of the T-Virus. After finding Claire Redfield (a survivor she was with in Nevada), they make their way to L.A. where they find another small band of survivors who've taken refuge in a maximum security prison. Working together, they try to find refuge in Arcadia. However, all is not as it seems regarding Arcadia, and with the zombies continuing to surround the prison, it soon becomes a race against time to get to safety.OK, the first three movies were decent....thin on story, granted (apart from really the 1st one), but they had good action & suspense. Unfortunately Resident Evil: Afterlife is messy. It starts out in Japan, where we see the start of the zombie attacks, then 4 years later where Alice and her "friends" try to break into the Umbrella Corporation there, then 6 months later she's hundreds of miles away in Alaska, so it's pretty confusing to follow to start with.The story is, well, to say it's thin would be an understatement. Action is the main reliant, which isn't too bad, however this is basically a Matrix movie with a Resident Evil title. The slow motion action (which were obviously done for the 3D) is pretty cool in a good few scenes, but there's just a bit too many. It's a bit like a John Woo film on crack.Also, this film copies so many other movies as well....Wesker dodging bullets (Neo from The Matrix); bullet time (Max Payne); Axeman character (Pyramid Head from Silent Hill); zombies mouths stretching open (vampires in Blade 2). So really nothing is that original.The acting by Wentworth Miller (who played Chris Redfield) and Shawn Roberts (who played Albert Wesker) was just awful as well, so add that to other mediocre scenes and you have a very lackluster installment to the series. Some very cool action scenes but that's about it for this one really.

Wow..just wow the people that wrote and directed this garbage should be incarcerated to a cell with soft walls, I mean just look at the start of the movie when "Alice" is attacking the Umbrella corp headquarters...I've seen bad movies but this is sad, the potential for making a good Resident evil movie must be out there, I mean is Capcom happy with this piece of poo? Or just ***** some American *****.You can watch it and decide for yourself.It blew the blow out of gundpowder that smokes the wack out of crack...please don't come back.
