Resident Evil: Aftercash

Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010)

Back for a fourth instalment of this film franchise based on the popular zombie game are director Paul W.S. Anderson and star Milla Jovovich. Alice is back and on the hunt for revenge and the survivors from the last film.

This film was obviously made for 3D with a number of sequences clearly designed to show case the possibilities of the new technology but this is not much consolation to those of us watching in 2D. The plot of the film suffers from having to deal with the loose ends left from the last film before it gets started on the weak effort making up the majority of this one. You would hope the action sequences would make up for the lack of plot but a lot of these are unoriginal and you can clearly spot where they are ripped off from. Maybe when they come back for the fifth time to milk the franchise they could include a plot, some character development and some original action sequences.

2/5 forgettable zombie sequel.
