To get started, I will admit that I love the RE games so I may be a
bit prejudice. I'd say "I am sorry" but well... That'd be a damn lie.
Don't think I'm just razzing the movie, there are in fact really cool elements. I love how there's a mysterious feel. One example, the zombies are no longer the slow, dim witted, trip over their feet kind but now are more like the creatures from Resident Evil 4 who AREN'T infected with the T-Virus but a parasite called Las Plagas. However the movie doesn't explain why the zombies are different now, and that kinda killed some joy. However that joy was soon returned with the Executioner...
I was rather disappointed in Resident Evil Extinction, the predecessor to Afterlife, as there wasn't really any mutants save for Tyrant at the end of the movie and some dogs... There's always the dogs. So I was happy to see that they did the whole "Let's not just fill the movie with zombies, that was done the 1st time" kinda thing in this film and actually brought forth a non-end-of-movie fight scene that really feels like a big boss battle in a video game.
Frankly I feel I've already revealed too much for those who wanna see the movie so in closing, it was okay... Nothing really great to me, too much guns and ammo for a zombie movie based off of a horror game (Do you have any idea how many times I've ran outta ammo and ran away screaming?!?! A SHITLOAD!), okay job wih acting I guess. I would say 3 outta 5 but seeing how they royally messed up the game's storyline with the characters, threw in WAY too much action, failed to say what happened with the zombies changing, where the Hell Jill went from 2 movies ago (Chris's partner in the series). screw Paul W. S. Anderson, 2 outta 5 zombie mutts for this film... | |
