    Resident Evil: Afterlife

    Just finished this off netflix and wow....there are just no words for how bad this movie is. I knew it was going to be bad, I didn't hear a single good thing about the movie. But it ended up being so bad I laughed threw most of the movie. Wesker ended up being one of the most over the top, idiotic and wooden characters in recent memory. This was Stephen Sommers style crap here....and thats bad. I found it funny how Umbrella was still hellbent on ruling the world even though the world had turned to complete shit. Theres nothing left to take over in the first place.

    And the fact Alice was walking around recording herself on a video camera when almost all the technology in the world had been destroyed. What are people gonna watch the tapes on anyway? Then theres the executioner from Resident Evil 5 (the game) that walked around the streets of L.A. for no reason at all. he showed up, fought clare and alice until they killed him and he was never explained. He looked cool though, I'll give him that. There was more slow motion crap here than you can shake a stick at. Seemed liked everytime Alice was tossed a gun it slowed down. Laughably stupid, and Alice and Clare had this "dragonball Z" intensity of seriousness to them. It always cracked me up on that cartoon how serious some of the characters would act. Thats what this reminded me of. And was that supposed to be Jill valentine in the end? They gave her long blond hair. Why would you do that? Im sure most people didn't even know who the hell it was. Movie was just dumb all around. And now that this one ended in a cliffhanger probably means we'll get another one......great.

    First 15 mins was basically Matrix 4. Rest was a waste. Barely any zombies and the axe guy just straight up comes outta nowhere for apparently no reason

    I seriously busted out laughing when out of the blue it just showed him dragging his axe/hammer down the street. Major WTF moment.

    Though I watch them for the over-the-top action moments and because I enjoy seeing Milla, for some reason, I have given up on the live films. I am leaving all my hopes in the CGI films, since Degeneration was passable and the trailers for the new one look promising.

    The plot holes in this one bugs me to no end. The big one everyone asks... where did Axeman come from? Could have at least have him hop out of a crate marked "umbrella". I could have accepted even that half-ass attempt.
    Also, since when can zombie dig through solid cement? Several feet of reinforced cement, sewer piping, and whatever else in buried in the ground in a city. They have fingers, maybe a bit sharpened by the virus, but still fingers. They would have bloody stubs before they cleared half an inch or surface rubble.
    And another thing... why the drastic change in Jill Valentine? (Spoiler Hint: In this one, she is blonde in the chopper at the end.). Ok, so the chick from the second flick didn't want to do the role again... sure. But we go from a semi-short, black haired girl with attitude with a tall, leggy blonde with spandex. Couldn't even try and stay within the same type of woman for the role?

    There was also WAY too many unnecessary and unintentionally hilarious slow-mo sequences. Like how many times do we seriously need to see some character take out a gun in slow-mo?

    I didn't think it was as bad as the second one. But it was definitely bad.

    I wasn't sure until I checked it out online. A random blonde tossed in the mix, no one could be sure without Wikapedia or a cast listing. After I found out who it was, I wish it was just an unnamed blonde. The change over made no freaking sense.

    Will watch it, but nothing I will pick up before its hella cheap. The first movie in the series is even a good horror\zombie flick at times, but the 2nd and 3rd was more action based boredoms then anything else.

    I wasn't very impressed at all, and Fright is right I was thinking zombie matrix the whole way through. What really pisses me off about the series is they brought in alot of the characters from the games but none of the locations. The mansion in the first one was stupid, the whole series is just one big clusterfuck.

    And even the characters they bring in now are completely pointless and are clearly only there just to say they put'em in the movie

    Now that, I admit, makes sense. They had to make a new character to abuse for six+ films (yes, more are already in the works). No chance in hell they could abuse a cannon character, like Jill or Claire, as the star role in this series and survive the fan backlash. They wouldn't have made it past the second one if Jill was the center character. Fright is right about why they casted her for the role though...
