I'd rather fight Rocky Balboa for twelve rounds than let someone see Resident Evil:Afterlife

I feel like I need to open this review up with the top ten worst headlines I considered for this movie(in no order). Also Not Safe For Children.

I'd rather fight Rocky Balboa for twelve rounds than let someone see Resident Evil:Afterlife

Resident Evil Afterlife, where the title refers to the contents but without the pitchfork

Resident Evil Afterlife would make Darth Vader cry tears of Blood

Resident Evil Afterlife is like getting a root canal

Resident Evil afterlife does for Zombie movies what Super Mario Brothers did for physics

Resident Evil Afterlife in 3D will make a sober man turn to the 3D's: Drinking, Drugs, and Dromine

Resident Evil Afterlife takes your child hood and sells it for parts

Me, windows movie maker, and clips of the CGI from Resident Evil 5 could make a better movie than Resident evil afterlife, and I'd be the one being edited

Getting Syphalis is a better diagnosis than being told that you have to see Resident Evil Afterlife

Everytime someone sees Resident Evil Afterlife its like they were raped by the CareBearStare



This movie is terrible. The acting is sad and pathetic. No one in this movie can act for even a short time. They act like THTR 101 students. The characters that they portray are poor, shallow facsimiles of characters that once existed in the games. The movies want the audience to be distracted from the lack of characterization by using jump scares and bad fight scenes. They reduce Chris to a generic soldier who is borderline greeseball willing to flirt with anything with a skirt that isn't blood related. By the way, I never once buy that Chris and Claire are siblings here. It's rather boring. I'm glad Chris was finally introduced, but in reallity a good Resident Evil movie needs to be a pure reboot of Chris and Jill teaming up in the mansion. That is the secret. It's really simple, and yet this movie fails. It uses a really cool concept, barricading ones self in a prison, and for most of the movie it ignores its primary villain, Wesker. Wesker is the real treat here. The only one. He is so 2D that he makes M Bison in Street Fighter look like a deep character. But the way he tears up the scenery and the way they translate how he moves and speaks in the games is perfect. It just does not translate the context. Almost every fight features slow motion or the matrix trick of stopping of the combat to pan around and then resume. It is poor by any standard and this review likely fell apart because I couldn't write this review fast enough.
Don't see this movie. this is a terrible movie. I saw it for free and I didn't think it was worth it. Resident Evil Afterlife will never be worth your time. The action sucks, the acting sucks, the story sucks, wesker is cool but in the same way Bison was in Street Fighter, this movie sucks.

Here are so things you can get at amazon that are more worth your time:
