The Review

If you’re looking to watch ‘Resident Evil: Afterlife’ as a classic masterpiece, well don’t. We all know it’s only made to entertain.

Forget the silly plot, over-the-top acting, and amazing comical physical feats, and do drop your expectations to fully enjoy for what it is. To be scared by the walking zombies in 3D.

I don’t have the faint of heart when it comes to blood, and there’s plenty in this movie but I felt the scare factor could have been much better.

As usual Milla Jovovich is stunning on-screen. Even the worse of actors becomes excellent when you’re that good looking. You tend to overlook their flaws.

This film is entertaining yes, but forgettable.

The Good

• Beautiful cast
• Crisp editing

The Bad

• Weak plot
• Cardboard characters
• You need to watch the past three Resident Evil movies to get a better understanding of the storyline
